A guide to selling your home in winter

This guide will explore the advantages and limitations of selling your home over the winter period. If you are on the fence about moving, then this guide is a great place to start.

We’ve used our 90 years of experience of helping people in Warrington sell their homes to create this helpful guide for people thinking of selling this winter.

While the thought of selling a home when the skies are grey and the temperatures are dropping may seem daunting, it actually presents some significant advantages.

First things first: why is selling your home in winter different? Well, you’ll be dealing with variables that don’t typically affect summer sales – from shorter days and unpredictable weather to prospective buyers being more focused on Christmas pudding than property viewings.

But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Less competition and a more serious pool of buyers can lead to quicker and smoother transactions.

And let’s not forget a roaring fire or well-insulated living room can make your home look even more appealing.
In this guide, we’ll delve into the nitty-gritty details that make winter home sales unique. We’ll discuss how to add that wow factor to your home viewings and look at the importance of kerb appeal.

We’ll give you expert tips on seasonal staging, setting the right price and even the legal considerations that come into play during winter.

So, grab a cuppa, find a comfy chair and let’s get started.
