Deciding when to put your property on the market to sell can significantly impact the success of your sale. Traditionally, spring is considered an ideal time when many buyers are actively seeking homes. However, local market conditions, economic factors, and personal circumstances also play crucial roles.

Speak to a local estate agent who understands your area and property type. Research your local housing market to understand trends and demand. Consider current interest rates and economic stability, as these can affect buyer activity.

Additionally, evaluate your own readiness to sell. Ensure your property is presentable for photos and to showcase your property to potential Buyers. If significant repairs or improvements are needed, factor in the time required to complete them before marketing your property.

Ultimately, the best time to sell is when it aligns with both market conditions and your personal position. Consulting with a local estate agent, can provide further insights tailored to your situation.

We would recommend at least 2–3 local estate agent valuations before deciding how many agents to instruct to sell your property. You should consider the following:

1. Compare valuations realistically - Different agents may suggest very different asking prices. One might overvalue to win your instruction, while another could undervalue for a quick sale. Getting 2–3 professional opinions will help you assess the range of prices/valuations.

2. Assess the agent—not just the price.
You’re not just choosing a number; you’re choosing someone to market your property. Use the visits to evaluate; the agents' local knowledge, marketing strategy, their confidence and professionalism. Don't be afraid to ask direct or specific questions to test the agents' position.

3. Check the agents' sole agency period - If you are considering instructing one agent only (sole agency), check the terms and length of the contract. The last thing you would want is to be stuck between the property not selling and unable to change estate agents due to the obligations of the contract.
