Where we live is our home, it is our safe haven and a place we can relax and be comfortable. It is also where we make a lot of memories - whether it was the first house we bought, or raised children - which is why it’s no wonder that sometimes it can be a bit difficult to think about moving on, for whatever reason.

For whatever reason, sometimes life circumstances require homeowners to sell their house quickly - without the time for a lengthy marketing campaign. So if you have found yourself in this situation, here are some things you can do to help to get your home sold promptly. 

You might’ve heard that it’s not a good idea to sell your home in the winter - that there aren’t many buyers around and it is hard to have your property looking its best when the days are dark and the weather is particularly unhelpful. However, in actual fact, it is a bit of an old wives tale, and in an active marketplace, winter is just as good a time as any to sell your house.

When selling your home, you want to make sure you get the best price for it, right? But between the council’s most recent valuation, a local real estate agent’s appraisal, and the banks input when refinancing your property for a deposit - you have three potential listing prices for your home.

It is a bit of a catch-22 situation really. Should your sell your home before you look for a new one? Or find one you want to buy before going down the path of selling up? Both have their advantages and disadvantages, and it’s about working out which option is right for you and your situation. 

You want to sell your home, but it is looking a bit dated - however you don’t have the resources necessary to undertake major renovations. So how can you modernise the interior without having to spend too much time or money on it?
