    Top tips to sell your home
    First impressions count! It is often said that potential buyers form an opinion about a property within the first 15 seconds. That is why the way in which you present your property is important. This includes those things that the potential buyer will see even before they enter the property, from a well tendered garden to the paintwork on the front door - even the street and the verge - can all make a difference. Once inside, tidy away clutter and make your property look light and airy and more spacious.Again tidiness, clean paintwork and even the smell of freshly brewed coffee, all are known to positively influence potential buyers. The rule is not to let the buyer be put off from really seeing the positive things about your property because of negative first impressions.

Buying...

  • paragraph

    You have decided to buy a home - but what next?

    The maze of legal work, negotiations, dealing with surveyors and solicitors, finding a good mortgage deal and worrying about your deal falling through, on top of actually hunting down the home of your dreams, is enough to make anyone's hair stand on end.

    Buying a house is one of the biggest financial decisions that you will make in your life. It is a lengthy and complicated business, which while exciting is often fraught with stress and worry. But luckily there is a lot of good advice around helping you to make your home-buying experience as easy and problem-free as possible.

    After finding a home you like, which can take anything from a few days to many months, the process from having your offer accepted to completion of the sale takes about 12 weeks. This is about twice as long as in many other countries - home-buying in Britain is a notoriously drawn-out business.

    It is important to have a good understanding of the process as it will help you to avoid some of the most common hazards of home-buying. Home.co.uk has prepared an introduction to the home-buying process to help you to understand how it all works, how to plan it and what to watch out for. After reading this you should have a better idea of what to expect and how to set out to buy a home feeling prepared and ready to go!

    The Buying Process: A Step-by-Step

    1. Work Out How Much You Can Afford
    2. Get a Mortgage Agreement in Principle
    3. Choose Your Home
    4. Hire a Solicitor
    5. Make an Offer
    6. Have a Survey and Valuation Done
    7. Do Any Necessary Legal Work
    8. Arrange for Life Assurance
    9. Finalise Your Mortgage
    10. Exchange Contracts
    11. Organise Your Move
    12. Finalise Your Contract Details
    13. Move In!

      I cannot rate Bernards highly enough.
      I cannot rate Bernards highly enough. The service from start to finish was amazing. From the initial contact with the Agent at our home through to completion, the team couldn't do enough for us.Diamie is a credit to the company- she chased things up for me that she didn't need to constantly, gave me advice when I needed it and was just a star!Another special mention to Harvey- professional, polite and lovely when showing us round a property in Drayton and every time I spoke to him on the phone. Very personable and made me feel like I was never being too much trouble even when I was being a pest! Will defiantly use Bernard's if I sell again.
