Top tips for finding your perfect home this summer
Moving home is becoming more streamlined and less stressful, especially during the summer months. The relaxing vibe, longer days, and better weather make it an ideal time to find your perfect home.
What do you want from your next move?
Consider what you want in your next home. A larger garden might be on your priority list, so as you browse the wide range of properties available in summer, create your own list of must-haves. This might include location, the number of rooms, or the type of property. Stay open to new ideas and possibilities—sometimes the perfect property is one you hadn’t initially envisioned.
Talk to a local property expert to find your perfect home
The UK property market is highly varied, with conditions changing from one street to the next. Local knowledge is important for a successful move. The market you are leaving will be different from the one you are entering, and your needs are as unique as the properties available. Spend time with a local property expert to discuss your requirements; this is a key step in finding your perfect home.
Book a valuation
Planning your moving budget starts with a home valuation. Your property’s value may have increased more than you expect, opening up possibilities for better properties. Ensure you get a thorough, in-person valuation to determine the true value of your home without unrealistic pricing, which can negatively impact your sale.
Look at recently sold prices
Don’t rely solely on your agent for market insights. Looking at the selling prices of recently sold properties or similar homes can help you understand the market better. This summer is marked by stability, offering good equity growth for sellers and reasonable pricing for buyers.
Maximise viewings with longer days
Summer brings an abundance of properties to the market, so book as many viewings as possible. With quieter roads during school holidays and better weather, you can take more time to view properties. A good agent can help you find that special “I’m home” feeling.
