Selling Your Home In Summer – Can It Be Done?

Spread the love

Spring may be the busiest time of year in the UK property market but there is no reason to think that you cannot sell your home in summer. In fact, given the challenging weather conditions earlier on this year, there is an argument that there is a slight time-lag in this year’s market, and this could help to ensure that summer is the ideal time to sell your home. If you are looking to sell your home in or around Brixton, get in touch and I will be happy to assist you.

Even though this is a World Cup year, which will distract a few people from the process, there is a lot of optimism surrounding the summer market. This is fitting because the weather is usually the best during these months, and this means you can showcase your home to the highest standard. The outside of your home plays a crucial role in appealing to prospective buyers, and there is no finer time of year to improve your garden than the summer.

Your garden will influence buyers

While your first task is to clean your garden and tidy it up, don’t stop there. You should look to add splashes of colour and vibrancy to your garden during the summer. Be sure to choose flowers that are bright and in bloom, as these will grab attention and persuade prospective buyers that this is a property that they want to spend a lot of time in.

If you have external space at your property, summer is the ideal time to show it off, so make sure that it is in fantastic condition. Remove weeds, ensure paving stones and paths are in good order and pay attention to your windows. These should be gleaming, but you want to make sure that the window frames are in excellent condition. It makes sense to attend to these matters in the summer because it won’t impact on the atmosphere or heating inside the house. If you were to have your windows repaired or replaced in winter, you could be in for a chilly experience, so summer lends itself well to making improvements.

Summer creates deadlines for buyers which is great news for property sellers

Summer is also a wonderful time of year to sell your home because it provides a range of deadlines for buyers. If a buyer needs to have a deal concluded in a certain time, say they are going away on holiday or they want to be settled before a new school year begins, they have a deadline to meet and this can help a property owner to achieve the best possible price for their home.

You’ll even find that moving out of your home is easier to manage in summer as opposed to doing it in the middle of winter or during a wet spring or autumn. Lifting boxes will always seem like a chore but it is nicer when the weather is pleasant as opposed to howling with wind and rain.

If you are looking to sell your home, summer can be the ideal time of year to do so. When it comes to property moves in Brixton, get in touch and I will be happy to help you sell your home in the most effective manner.
