Successful launching of your property

Successful launching of your property

When you’re ready to sell your home, how your chosen agent launches your property to the market is incredibly important. Interest can peak in the first few weeks of coming to the market so it is vital that everything is in place to secure the very best launch, ensuring you reach the widest number of buyers and achieve the best price.

Here are our tips for a successful launch:

1. Presentation

Insist on professional photography to create the very best first impression of your property online, in your property brochure and in the window of your chosen estate agent.

2. Portal Reach

Choose an agent that uploads their properties to the major property portals – Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket – to maximise interest in your property online.

3. Social engagement

Ensure your property details are shared on your chosen agent’s social media platforms – Facebook and Instagram are particularly important. Share the agent’s link to your property on your Facebook/Instagram pages too. Social media is a great way of attracting interest in your property from passive buyers – opportunist buyers who aren’t actively looking.

4. Viewings

It’s always advisable to let your agent show your home as they are the experts – they will know what to say and what to highlight to elicit the most interest in your property. Consider an Open Viewing to launch your property – your agent will block viewings together on one specific day (Saturdays work best) to create a sense of urgency and competition between buyers. This is the best way to achieve the best price.

Buying your first home is an exciting milestone, but it can also feel overwhelming. With so much to consider—budgets, mortgages, legal paperwork, and finding the right property—it’s easy to feel lost in the process. This guide outlines the key things every first-time buyer should know before taking that first step onto the property ladder.

Autumn may not be the first season that comes to mind when people think about moving, but it can be a surprisingly strong time to sell. Buyers who are still active at this stage of the year tend to be serious about completing before Christmas or the new year. With the right preparation, your home can stand out and attract motivated buyers even as the nights draw in.

Choosing a new home isn’t just about the property itself – the neighbourhood plays a huge role in your quality of life. From schools and transport links to local shops and community spirit, here’s what to look out for when deciding if an area is right for you.

As the golden tones of autumn settle over the South Cotswolds and Vale of the White Horse, it’s a good time to reflect on how the local property market is evolving. In this seasonal update, our Managing Director, Phillip Bishop, shares insights on current buyer behaviour, market conditions, and how to position your home for success this autumn.
