2. Preparing to go on the market

Property details obtained.
We visit to collect detailed information about your property so that we can present your home in the best possible way. This will include taking photographs, room dimensions, floor plans and recording any special features.

Produce a Home Information Pack
It is intended that eventually every property placed on the market will have a Home Information Pack that contains a number of documents that provide buyers with clear information about the property they are proposing to purchase. The introduction of Home Information Packs is being phased in commencing 1st August 2007 with properties that have four or more bedrooms.

In association with our partners, Enfields can provide you with a competitive and hassle free solution to getting a Home Information Pack produced. Our advanced systems means that all the necessary documents can be prepared by a registered Home Information Pack provider allowing your property to be legally placed on the market rapidly and with the minimum of fuss to you.

Instruct a Solicitor
This is a good time to think about who will deal with the sale of your property so that all the necessary documentation can be prepared. We can recommend Solicitors that have in depth experience in conveyancing matters.

Prepare your property for viewing
Make the most of your property to ensure potential buyers see your home in the best possible light. Some of Enfields top tips include:

• Create good kerb appeal - clean windows, freshen up external paintwork, clear paths and mow any grass.
• De-clutter – make the most of your space by packing away unnecessary items and pieces of furniture
• Create a comfortable ambience – make sure your home is clean and tidy and if viewing at night use lamps and soft lighting
• Think about your target market – speak to your Enfields representative about what features your target market look for in a home and adjust your property accordingly.
