We are often asked to help "sell my Northampton home" by homeowners who have a huge emotional attachment to their homes, so the expert team at Horts has some tips to point you in the right direction.
Have The Principles Changed Since I Last Sold?
Although you may find the idea of selling up rather daunting, it’s important to remember that the principles haven’t changed since the last time you moved home. You still need to choose the best estate agent in Northampton to market and present your home well, ensure an appropriate asking price, and get an excellent conveyancing solicitor to work with you.

What Are Some Tips To Help Me Pack Up And Sell My Northampton Home
When you live in a house for any length of time, you accumulate a lot of items! It’s essential to have your home tidy and clean when prospective purchasers view it. Therefore, it makes sense to start removing any items you no longer need before listing your home for sale. At Horts, we can advise you on how to best present your property in Northampton for sale.
How Do I Deal With My Emotions As I Sell My Northampton Home?
One element that may surprise you is how emotional your move may be. As you pack away your belongings and clear each room, you’ll find items with sentimental value and must decide what to do with them. Whenever possible, ask relatives or friends to help you with this process. Schedule some time every day to complete this task so you can overcome your emotions and feelings by the time your moving day arrives.
What if I Haven’t Found A Property in Northampton To Move To Yet?
We are often asked, "Can I sell my Northampton home if I haven't found a new place to buy?" You may believe you can’t start the selling process if you haven’t found another home to move to. However, that isn’t the case. You could find it easier to secure another property once you’ve already sold your existing home as some sellers may not want to wait for your sale to go through.
There is a high demand for property in Northampton, so there’s never been a better time to list your home for sale. Should you make a quick sale, you’ll still have several months before the transaction is complete. During this time you can negotiate the terms under which you’re happy to leave your property. Keen buyers will mostly be prepared to wait.
