The PRE – ESTATE AGENT

Realising your property’s potential

Have you ever wondered why some properties sell the moment they hit the market and others languish for months or even years?

When you’ve lived in a property for a while, it can be difficult to notice areas that others may find unappealing. What you consider a beautiful and cozy home filled with cherished memories, others might view as having tired decor and cramped spaces cluttered with personal items.

Potential buyers will be searching for reasons to negotiate a lower price or even worse, they may discover issues they consider big enough to prevent them from making an offer at all.

There will be several properties in your area within the same price bracket. What is going to make your property stand out and sell quickly?

At Laurence Joseph, this is exactly the conundrum we like to solve. Our detailed Pre-Sale Report on your home will outline room-by-room where affordable improvements can be made, to portray your property in the best possible light for potential viewers.

The Secret To Selling Your Property – It’s Not Personal

The biggest mistake homeowners make when trying to sell their property is they get emotionally attached to how they live in the property.

For example, are you looking to sell because your family has grown and your home is visibly bursting at the seams?

Have you been in the same home for 30 years and want to downsize?  Was the last time you decorated over 10 years ago?

Have you become nose blind to those beautiful furry friends that enrich our lives?

The likelihood is that how you live in the property is full of compromises, developed over time.  You simply don’t notice them anymore but a prospective buyer viewing the property for the first time will.

FAQs

Is house sale preparation necessary?

Not if you are in no rush to sell, and don’t mind what offer you accept on your property. If you have an issue with the property, there’s a good chance that potential buyers have spotted it too, and they aren’t going to make the offer on your property that you expected. Our Pre-Sale Report and follow up work will outline the issues and where they can be solved.

Is the Pre-Sale Report worthwhile?

If you follow the recommendations on the Home Sale Presentation Report you will probably add thousands to the value of your property, depending on the budget available. You will also be creating more appeal for the property. 

Do you work for Estate Agents and do they offer this service?

We work independently from estate agents.  Our primary focus is on helping you present your property in the best possible light.  We often receive referrals from estate agents as our service benefits every party : you sell your home quicker and for the best value, your estate agent completes the sale.

Very few estate agents will tell you what is wrong with your property, as you will lose faith in them at being able to sell your property. It doesn’t make sense for an estate agent to show any negativity towards your property.  We provide you with not only the reasons for the lack of a suitable offer, but also tangible solutions to overcome those barriers to a sale. If an estate agent has recommended us, it means there are areas we can help.

My property is overlooked by neighbours. Can you help?

Lots of properties are overlooked. If you have a garden we can mitigate these issues with our garden design service. But ultimately there will be a buyer out there who will be wowed by the design of your interior, and not focus too much on the exterior.

My property has limited parking. Can you help?

This is a case where a potential buyer will literally walk the extra mile to live in your home, as long as it is extremely well presented. Our Pre-Sale Report will give you the best guidance on this.

How much is the Home Sale Presentation Report?

It depends on your location and the size of your property. We are based in Ringwood, so a Pre-Sale Report for a three-bed property within 20 miles would be £250, if you want to carry out the recommendations yourself. However, if an estate agent has referred us to you, the report is free as the estate agent will be instructing us to carry out the report. Or, if you want us to carry out some or all of the work or to project manage more complicated work, we will carry out the report for free in Ringwood.

How quickly can you do the report?

Following our visit, we expect the report to follow within 48 hours.
