Why you should trust your solicitor estate agent to set the right price for your property
If you’re considering selling your home this winter, you might have a price in mind that you hope your property to achieve. Or perhaps you’re just not sure what value your home holds, and what you should be asking for.
That’s where your solicitor estate agent can step in. All ESPC’s solicitor estate agents are local property experts, which means that they’re best placed to guide you in the marketing of your property.
The property market may have cooled somewhat compared to the frenzied activity of recent years, but it's still performing well across Edinburgh, the Lothians, Fife and the Borders, so don’t be put off by the headlines if you are hoping to sell.
ESPC’s solicitor estate agents have unique access to a wealth of local property market data, which ensures that they have the knowledge to set the right pricing strategy for your property, whether you market it as ‘offers over’, or for a fixed price.
The right pricing strategy is absolutely key to ensuring a quick sale, so trust your solicitor estate agent to choose the right price and the right marketing tools to help you. Based on market trends and what similar properties in the area have sold for, they’ll recommend a price they feel confident will appeal to buyers.
You might have read in ESPC’s recent House Price Reports that there have been significant increases in the number of properties listed for a fixed price, and perhaps you’re nervous about this – but there’s no need to be. Based on your property’s Home Report and your individual circumstances, your solicitor estate agent will advise you on whether marketing at a fixed price is recommended, and if not, they’ll set an enticing ‘offers over’ price to attract as many potential buyers as possible.
Remember, research has shown that an ESPC solicitor estate agent can achieve 3% more above the Home Report valuation than a non-ESPC agent, so you could make more money from your home if you choose to use one of the 140-plus member firms registered with ESPC.
