Ensure the property is sale ready

Your estate agent will be able to tell you if there are any features of your home that might put off potential buyers.

If anything is flagged up, try to get it fixed before your property goes on the market, as doing this will mean you’re more likely to get a speedy sale.

Paperwork at the ready

Ultimately, the quicker that your paperwork is processed by the solicitors, the quicker you can get going.

Hassling with paperwork can slow down the moving process significantly, so pre-empt any requests for certificates or documentation by having it all in one place and ready when called upon.

Likewise, calling ahead to organise van hire or a removals company will ensure there are no issues on the big day itself.

Declutter thoroughly

With December not far off, it would be a good idea to start sifting through your belongings now to work out what will be going with you and what is no longer wanted or needed.

A clearer space will also make your property pictures more visually appealing and make it that much easier to unpack and set up your new place to feel like home.
