Increase your selling and buying power with Jonathan Waters Estate Agents

The Christmas holidays, the New Year celebrations and the recent spell of bad weather are now, well behind us. A sense of new beginnings and of a fresh start is pervading the marketplace and it is truly an exciting time to be an estate agent.

The property market is beginning to move into recovery and this year has started well. Whilst the heavy snow killed things for a week or two, we are now seeing activity pick up sharply and January 2010 is set to be one of our busiest on record!

Already this month we have received more visitors to our web site than in any individual month between August and December of 2009. A strong spring is expected along with the typical late summer and early autumn surges. So it is important that you are ready to move when the right property comes along.

It is now time to put into action all those moving plans you’ve been discussing over the past few months. Time to get out there and look around at what’s new to the market and time to be doing what you can, to get yourself into a stronger buying position.

It is a proven fact that your negotiating power as a buyer will be significantly increased by the strength of your position and that in order to get the best deal on any home you choose to buy, you will need to be in a position to move quickly. Therefore, if you are reliant upon the sale of your current home to enable you to purchase another, there is no better time to put your house on the market.

Here are a few top tips to securing a quick sale on your home and moving you into a stronger negotiating position:

1. Finish off all those little jobs that you’ve been meaning to get around to.
2. Repair or replace anything that needs attention or is looking tired.
3. Give the place a fresh, clean look with a new coat of paint.
4. Spruce up the gardens to increase curb appeal.
5. De-clutter to maximise the feeling of space.

Having done all of the above and received an offer on your home, you are now, depending upon the length of your chain, in a much stronger position to negotiate a deal on your next property. Ideally you will have sold to a first time buyer or to someone with no dependent sale; this shortens the chain meaning the sale is more likely to proceed quickly and it is this ability to move quickly that will net you the best deals.

Using Jonathan Waters Estate Agents to sell your home will alleviate you of the tasks of:

1. Establishing a fair market price for your property.
2. Organising a Home Information or HIP’s pack.
3. Marketing the property.
4. Arranging the viewings.
5. Negotiating with buyers.
6. Chasing solicitors and surveyors.
