One of the most important things that you will do when trying to market your property is correctly pricing your property, set in the price too low could lead to you losing out on valuable cash, on the other hand setting it to high could see you missing out on many potential buyers and in effect may compete in homes of similar status looks like better value there is also a chance of potential buyers having their mortgages rejected by their building society. Overpricing when selling a home one of the biggest single reason is why properties sit on the market for long periods of time without selling, you can put this down to ignorance or even stupidity or sometimes greed, it's very important to remember that we do not dictate the price of property the market dictates the price of property so we have to be mindful of this when putting property on the market. |

| The first tip I have you when you're trying to price your property is very simple, it may take some legwork but it's just a matter of going round to estate agents and speaking to other people in your area to see what the price of similar properties to yours have been advertised for and sold for, this could give you a good rough estimate of where your property lies in the market, it is then also possible to calculate the costs per square metre of your property computer others in your area, but remember to always factory in the differences between other properties and yours i.e. the size of your garden, maybe you have a very small conservatory as opposed to a property on your Street there has just been sold with a very large conservatory. All these factors must be taken into consideration when pricing your property. |

| One way to get an accurate appraisal to the value of your property would be to contact a local agent, contacting an agent does not mean you have to do is sign any contract is for that agent to represent you when trying to sort your property, but there is no harm when pricing your property to get a wide range of views as possible. It's also good to contact for three agents to appraise your property so you could thereafter set the price of your property may be somewhere in the middle of the top and bottom value giving you. |
