Thinking About Selling?

Thinking About Selling?

Having a valuation with us is the first step towards understanding what your home could achieve. But we know that deciding to sell is a much bigger decision.

There are real opportunities for sellers in today’s market, particularly when a property is positioned correctly, priced accurately and marketed to the right buyers.

So we caught up with our Wanstead Branch Partner, Ray Phipps, to get his take on what’s happening in the market and what sellers should be considering right now.

"Against a wider market backdrop in which Rightmove reports a 3% decline in sales agreed, Durden & Hunt has continued to deliver strong results, with company-wide sales agreed up 41% over the same period. So it's clear we know a thing or two about selling houses.

"The properties generating the strongest interest at present are those that are well presented, realistically priced and marketed effectively. "The results we see come down to knowing our local markets, understanding what buyers are looking for and importantly, being honest and transparent with sellers about where their property sits.

"For anyone considering a move, the key question is whether your property is positioned to compete effectively in today’s unique market.” Ray Phipps, Wanstead Branch Partner.
