Well… We made it!

The kids are back at school, the lunchbox is a packed and the house is probably a little quieter again.

But after six weeks of everyone being at home, did you notice anything about your own?

Maybe you found yourself wishing for a bit more space, a bigger kitchen or somewhere quieter to work. Or maybe it reminded you of just how much you love where you live.

If this summer got you thinking about making a move before the next one rolls around, I’d be happy to help you start planning.

King Charles has hailed the “unprecedented loan” of the Bayeux Tapestry to the British Museum, calling it the “best possible symbol” of the closeness between the UK and France.
After viewing the medieval tapestry in London on Wednesday a week before it goes on public display, he spoke in French and English to guests including President Emmanuel Macron of France and Prime Minister Andy Burnham.
The King said he was the direct descendant of one of the key figures in the tapestry, William, Duke of Normandy, whose army invaded and defeated King Harold at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
The tapestry “tells the story of the beginning of what I like to think of as the French side of my family’s history in these islands”, he added.

Tip 29. More Agents Doesn’t Always Mean More Buyers

Here is the misconception: “If I use 3 agents, then surely I’ll reach more buyers and sell faster?”

Errr… No!
But what CAN happen is a negative effect…..

♦️Your property can appear multiple times online, potentially confusing buyers.
♦️Different agents may use different photos, descriptions and asking prices, weakening the marketing message.
♦️You may get duplicate enquiries rather than genuinely more buyers.
♦️If buyers see a property sitting with several agents, they may wonder why it hasn’t sold.
♦️Most importantly, more agents doesn’t automatically mean more buyers — the quality of the marketing, buyer database and agent’s strategy is what matters.

One property. One strategy. One agent who is accountable for getting it sold.

Before you instruct three agents, ask yourself: do I really need more agents… or do I need a better strategy?

Tip 28. Check your title before you list with an agent.

Imagine this…

You’ve found your buyer.
They’re happy with the price.
Everyone’s excited.

Then, the solicitor discovers the property is actually made up of two separate Land Registry titles.

Suddenly, questions need answering:

♦️Do both titles form part of the sale?
♦️Is all the land included?
♦️Does the buyer’s mortgage lender need anything clarified?
♦️Will extra legal work be needed?

And just like that… that straightforward sale has just become a complicated one.

Before you put your property on the market, make sure you know exactly what you own, and what you’re selling.

Two titles don’t necessarily mean there’s a problem.

But discovering them after you’ve found a buyer could mean unnecessary delays, extra costs and a very frustrated buyer.

Because the best time to find a problem with your property…

is BEFORE you have a buyer waiting to exchange.

It’s easy to move here and commute back to London. By car or walking it’s not far.

It’s a special one today 🤩
6 months. 26 weeks. 26 property tips!

When I started Top Tip Tuesday, the idea was simple, share useful, honest property advice each week to help homeowners and buyers make better decisions.

Six months later, and we’re still going! 🙌

From preparing your home for sale and getting the right price, to marketing, viewings, negotiations and everything in between… hopefully I’ve given you a tip or two that’s been useful along the way.

💬 But now I want to hear from YOU!

What’s been your favourite Top Tip Tuesday so far?

And if you’re new here, welcome! There are plenty more property tips coming your way.

Here’s to the next 26! 🥂🏡

And before I forget, after the celebratory post, here’s today’s Tip. 25 Dont think a ‘For Sale board’ is enough to get you buyers.

I spotted something yesterday, not too far from where I live that got me thinking…

A property that had previously been on the market with an agent is now being marketed privately, with a “For Sale” board outside of their own.

It made me wonder… how many potential buyers are actually seeing it?

A board might catch the attention of someone driving or walking past, but what about the buyers searching Rightmove, Zoopla and the other major property portals every single day? 🤔

If your home has been sitting on the market for a while, taking it off the portals and simply putting up your own board may actually reduce your exposure rather than increase it.

Selling privately can work, but only if you have a clear strategy for reaching the right buyers.

Your home deserves more than a board. It deserves a marketing plan.

💬 Would you consider selling your home privately, or would you always use an estate agent?

Tip.25 Don’t leave buyers guessing. Make every word count.

Take a look at this sentence… read it a few times

“Alex told Sam he was late.”

Who was late?

There’s no right answer.
The sentence is ambiguous, so your brain has to fill in the gaps.

We encounter this kind of thing more often than we realise. Whether we’re reading a text message, an email or an advert, unclear wording can lead to confusion or the wrong impression.

The same is true when marketing a property.

If the description leaves buyers guessing, they may miss what makes your home special, or simply move on to the next listing.

Instead of relying on vague phrases like “spacious family home”, be specific. Tell buyers exactly what they’re getting: the size of the kitchen, the south-facing garden, the home office, or the off-road parking.

The same thing happens in property sales. Vague wording can lead to misunderstandings, delays, or even disputes.

Be specific when discussing:

♦️What’s included in the sale
♦️Completion dates
♦️Fixtures and fittings
♦️Offers and conditions

Clear communication keeps your sale moving smoothly because it builds confidence, creates stronger interest and helps generate more viewings.
