Once a suitable buyer has been introduced and an offer to purchase has been signed, it is only matter of time until the transaction is complete.
A typical timeline is between two and three months depending on the conditions of sale and the efficiency of other parties involved.
Your refferal funds will be paid to you within 48 hours of the date of transfer in the deeds office, excluding weekends and public holidays.
1. Handle repairs and inspections before listing
Carry out a detailed inspection of your property before putting it on the market. Fixing any damage or maintenance issues early on, can prevent them from becoming hindering points during buyer negotiations.
2. Declutter and professionally present your home
First impressions matter. Remove excess personal items, clean thoroughly, and consider staging the home to highlight its best features. A tidy, well-presented property tends to sell faster and often attracts better offers.
3. Work with an experienced estate agent
Partnering with a reputable estate agent who understands the local market can make a big difference. A seasoned agent will help you navigate the selling process, address potential challenges, and ensure everything stays on track.
4. Set a competitive asking price
Pricing your home too high can scare off potential buyers and cause your property to sit on the market longer than is necessary. Work with a knowledgeable real estate professional to set a fair and attractive price, based on local market trends and comparable home sales.
5. Take care of compliance certificates early
Thinking of selling soon? Start the process of obtaining your compliance certificates now. These legal documents confirm that key aspects of the property—such as electrical, plumbing, and gas installations—meet regulatory standards. While the process is generally straightforward, any unexpected issues could delay or even jeopardize the sale if left too late.
6.Ensure your house plans are approved
If you’ve made significant changes to your property—like extending a room or upgrading the kitchen—it’s important to have the necessary permits and council-approved plans available for potential buyers. These documents reassure buyers that renovations were completed legally and properly. Since municipal approval can take several months, having everything in place upfront avoids frustrating delays.
7. Prepare financial documentation
Organise all relevant financial paperwork in advance. If there are any outstanding debts or legal claims against the property, resolve them before listing it for sale. Being financially organised helps streamline the closing process.
8. Be willing to address potential price negotiations
When a buyer is considering making an offer, the condition of the property will invarioubly be taken into account and based on the current condition, the buyer might ask for repairs to be made and or potentially negotiate the price.
9. Prepare for buyer conditions
Buyers frequently include conditions in their offers—such as satisfactory inspections or financing approval. Convey your expected time-line for a completed sale to the agent.
10. Be open-minded about viewings and offers
Limiting viewing times or being rigid during negotiations can put off interested buyers. Aim to accommodate reasonable requests and approach negotiations with a cooperative mind-set to keep the sale progressing smoothly.
In summary, planning ahead and staying organised can help you avoid common pitfalls when selling your home. By addressing potential issues early on and maintaining a proactive approach, you’ll improve your chances of a smooth, timely sale.
