As an experienced Romford agent, I know selling your home can be a daunting experience, especially if you’re looking to move by summer 2023. But with the right preparation, you can ensure your home is sold in a timescale that suits you and for the best price possible.
Here’s what you need to do if you’re looking to sell by summer 2023:
Set a timeline – typically the process can take 4-6 months starting from preparing your home, marketing it, agreeing a price and then progressing the sale through to completion. If you want to be in your new house by summer, starting the whole process as soon as possible will give you the best opportunity.
Prepare your home – before marketing your home, it’s essential to make sure it’s in the best possible condition. This may involve cleaning, making repairs and decluttering. Take a look at this short article about preparing your home for sale.
Preparing your home for sale
Market your home – Once your home is ready, it’s time to market it as widely as possible. This should include professional photography (not an agent with an expensive camera), a 3D virtual tour, a property walkthrough tour and extensive social media advertising. It’s important to make sure your home is presented in the best possible light both online and in person to attract the best buyers.

Receive offers and progressing the sale – Once we start to receive offers for your home, they are likely to vary in terms of price and timescale so we will help you consider the pros and cons allowing you to choose the best buyer. Once a sale is agreed, it’s then progressing the sale through to exchange of contracts which is the legally binding agreement to sell your home.
If you’re looking to move but haven’t registered yet, you can use our ‘Heads Up’ property alerts. This service allows you to add specific streets and areas you want to live in and be notified before they appear on Rightmove. This ensures you’re the first to know about new listings giving you a head start over other buyers.
