More and more people are selling their property privately as a way of saving money on estate agents commissions. These commissions can be very high- often as much as 4% of the sale price. By selling your property privately online you can market your home and close the deal for as little as £49.

In this article we shall guide you through some of the key things to do if you decide to sell your home privately.

See your property through the eyes of your potential buyer

In order to give yourself the best chance of making a private sale, think carefully about the type of people who might be interested in buying your home and talk about things that might interest them on viewings.

For instance, if young families come to see your home make sure you know about local schools in the area. And if young professionals come round talk to them about transport links.

Sales Price

Before you decide to sell your property privately, decide what your bottom line price would be and what price you would ideally sell for.

Selling Tips

• Allow enough time to create an inviting temperature and warm the house up.

• In the winter switch on table lights and light the fire, if you have one, to create a cosy atmosphere.

• Try to ensure there is a parking space available for the viewer on arrival. If possible leave your drive clear. This provides an impression of no hassle parking and space.

• Flowers around the house will create a fresh atmosphere.

• Try to avoid cooking immediately before viewings so that you avoid any lingering smells.
