Getting the best price for your property.

Getting the best price for your property.

We all want to maximise what we achieve for our property, but what is the best way to do this?

1. Price it right. The most important part of selling a home is setting the right price. Price your home to be competitive with similar homes in your area. Research what other homes have sold for in your neighbourhood and use that information to determine your asking price.

2. Stage it properly. Make sure your home looks it's best, by staging it properly. This means de-cluttering, adding a fresh coat of paint if needed, and making any necessary repairs. You want your property to make a great first impression on potential buyers, especially in a competitive market.

3. Use professional photos. Make sure your agent uses professional photographs, as they are essential for selling a property for the best price and grabbing potential buyers attention when they are scrolling property websites.

4. Target the right buyers. Your agent should be using targeted marketing and advertising. They should have a mailing list for your property, use email campaigns, social media, a presence in the High Street and obviously use websites such as Rightmove.

5. Utilise open houses. Open houses are a great way to get potential buyers through the door and showcase your home. Talk to your agent about this and on the day, make sure the house is clean and inviting for visitors.

6. Negotiate. Who is doing the negotiation on your behalf, how much experience have they got and do they have a track record of selling property for the best possible price?

If you wish to achieve the best price, then we firmly believe we are the agent of choice, we are not a numbers agent and are great believers in quality over quantity. We regularly sell homes for record prices in the area and our reviews speak for themselves, see this review from one of our very happy clients:

Mr R Derrick

I have never met such a sincerely engaged estate agent as Kevin and his team at Gibson Honey truly do offer a personalised service. Kevin predicted and achieved £120k MORE than all the other major estate agents predicted, this should read as a significant warning to you if you're taking your valuation for granted!!! Kevin comes recommended because he's genuinely passionate about his profession and did the appropriate research. Do not hesitate in trying Gibson Honey, we had multiple viewings every week and 4 offers and that's at a price the others said was unachievable. (Source: Google Review).

We look forward to meeting you soon.

Moving home isn’t just about the sale price. From legal fees to removals, there are plenty of extra costs to budget for. This guide covers the most commonly overlooked expenses so you can plan with confidence and avoid last-minute surprises. All costs in this guide are just an average and will vary depending on the complexity of the transaction and even where you live in the country so remember to ask for detailed costings.

Property valuations mark the start of your home-selling journey. Discover how to prepare your home, present it effectively, and ask the right questions to maximise your property’s market value.

Buying your first home is an exciting milestone, but it can also feel overwhelming. With so much to consider—budgets, mortgages, legal paperwork, and finding the right property—it’s easy to feel lost in the process. This guide outlines the key things every first-time buyer should know before taking that first step onto the property ladder.

Should you haggle with the agent over their fees? Is it true that if they can't negotiate well with you, they won't be any good when you get an offer? Or does it start the relationship off on the back foot?
