Andrew Demain, of Property Perspective, who assists our homebuyers in Wakefield who have an existing house to sell, says the secret to selling an existing home fast is to make sure it’s marketed correctly.
He said: “It’s vital to have a focused marketing plan, designed to give maximum exposure on property search websites like Rightmove, Zoopla etc, and a robust follow up and sales progression process.”
“And this is where we step in. The whole idea of Redrow’s Help to Sell scheme is to give a focused approach to selling a customer’s house at the best price in a reasonable period of time.
“Setting the correct price is also key. We give a full market valuation, based upon local market comparisons, evidence and feedback from at least two local estate agents, to ensure we set the right price. A major plus for Redrow customers using Help to Sell is that estate agent fees are contributed towards. But this is only one of the many benefits.
“Our average marketing time to find a buyer over the last 6 months is under 19 working days. This means that buyers can move forward with their new home purchase much sooner and all the stress of that process is taken away,” added Andrew.
The Glade at Woodland Vale in West Ardsley, near Tingley, is shaping up to be one of the most desirable and attractive new communities in the area and has a number of homes that are available with Help to Sell.
Andrew continued: “Woodland Vale is in an area where the housing market always performs well so if you live locally but want a new build home, the sale of an existing home won’t be a problem.
“One of the reasons behind the area’s popularity are great transport links onto the M1 and M62 along with easy access to Leeds, Wakefield and the rest of the Yorkshire areas. Being within catchment of OFSTED ‘Good’ Primary and secondary schools is also an influencing factor for buyers choosing this location.”
Andrew believes that at some point the market will “drive forward again” and, if prices rise and the value gap between people’s existing home and their dream property widens, it can make moving less affordable, so now is a good time to sell and buy.
Sales director for Redrow Yorkshire Steve Jackson said: “We’ve already helped some customers with Help to Sell at Woodland Vale and they are now counting down to moving into their new home. The process was designed to help make our customers’ moves smooth sailing, and we hope to help more people in this way to move to Tingley.”
Homes currently available with Help to Sell at Woodland Vale include the two-bedroom Ledbury that is currently priced from £262,950 and the Stratford Lifestyle priced from £427,950.
This is a three-bedroom home built on the footprint of a four-bedroom property, to afford more space upstairs to fewer bedrooms, all of which have an en-suite.
