How to prepare your property for sale

A clear, accurate listing starts with organised information and a well-prepared viewing. Check the property details, gather relevant documents and decide how enquiries will be handled.

Walk through the property and note its layout, condition and any details that need clarification. Gather the documents you already hold and ask the professionals involved which additional information will be required. Prepare photographs that show the rooms clearly and describe features accurately. Make a plan for viewings, including access arrangements and a point of contact. When the property’s availability, price or included items change, update the listing promptly. Good preparation does not guarantee a sale or a timescale, but it makes the information shared with prospective buyers more consistent.
