Buying and selling over Christmas

Top Selling tips from the Guild of Agents

Many people think that trying to move house over the festive period is a mistake, but that is no longer that case. People have more free time and motivation to make a change in the New Year, so it can be a great time to buy and sell. Guild agents share their top tips.

Make your property visible online 

If you are selling, your home needs to be listed and visible on all the major property portals (like Rightmove) over Christmas. People have more free time and will start to browse properties online over the festive season. 

Alisa Mather from Andrew Coulson says: "We are listing a number of properties now because statistically, property portals show that there is a substantial spoke on Boxing Day. We appreciate Christmas is a busy time for families, so we operate a 'Do Not Disturb' policy. that is clicking on the propery on the market just before Christmas but refraining from viewing until after the New Year.
