Moving Guidance & Checklist
Moving Checklist
The Austin Hawk team is here to expertly guide you through the sale of your property. Your experience is our priority, and we go above and beyond to make sure it is as seamless and stress-free as possible, achieving the results you’re looking for. We understand moving house may seem overwhelming. However, breaking things down can help make it feel less daunting and easier overall.
Putting Your Home on the Market
Putting your home on the market is a big step, and one that you might not have done before. It’s always good to put your property on the market before you fall in love with one you want to buy, or your offer may not be accepted.
Check whether your EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is up to date and get a new one if not. We can help you with this. Consider if you want to make any improvements before getting a new EPC. Fill in the estate agent’s ‘Property Information Questionnaire’ as the more buyers have before they make an offer, the more likely your sale will be successful. Provide paperwork and complete any regulatory requirements, such as an identity check to meet money laundering regulations. Don’t forget to instruct a conveyancing firm on the day of or before you put your house on the market.
When you put your home up for sale you may want to have a big clean and tidy up before any viewings – you want your home to look spacious. If needed, give it a lick of paint to freshen it up. Fix anything broken!
