Do Not Sell Until After Emergency Budget

With the general election finally over and the formation of a Conservative - Lib Dem government, this is an uncertain time for the UK economy.

There are only a few certain things that will come out of this, and that is change and hopefully for the better.

Now a word of caution one thing that has been announced is an emergency budget in around 50 days, and although we have just had a budget no one really knows what will happen until after this budget and mainly the new government having some time to govern.

So my advice is to take the time between now and the emergency budget to fix up your home, make the most of the weather, and remember such things as kerb appeal, first appearance and workings if you want to sell your home.

As for the actual sale, it is a safe bet that something will come out of this budget to help the economy and that will help house sales, whether this is directly connected to home sales or simply an increase in buyer confidence. So do not actually put your house on the market until after the new government has had time to adjust and the emergency budget is over. Doing this you will stand to make a better profit on your house, with a lot less hassle.

If its broke. Fix it!

Got a dripping tap or a cracked tile? These will send the wrong message
to potential buyers. Getting all problems fixed before you put your
house on the market is a smart idea.

This might be something simple like tacking carpet back down, or repairing a loose door or fence post, up to getting that tap int he bathroom repaired or even replaced.

Remember repairing your home with not ass value to it, but it will make it easy to sell and for you to get the sale value you want.
