The amount of time that it takes to sell a house in North Wales can vary, depending on the specific circumstances involved. The average timescale from first marketing the property to completing the transaction will usually take somewhere between three to six months.

However, if there is a long chain of people buying and selling properties that all depend on each other, it can take significantly longer for everything to be arranged and the transaction completed. On the other hand, if the chain is shorter, or you are selling to a cash buyer, it can be a much shorter process in some cases.

The value of houses can change over time for a number of reasons, including the economy, demand for homes like yours in your area and even future local development plans. The best way to find out how much your house is worth now is to get a valuation by an experienced estate agent.

At the Big Estate Agency, we give honest valuations, based on our many years of specialist experience in the local market and taking all of the other factors into account.

Whether you should redecorate your home before selling it will depend on the current condition of the property and which kind of buyer you are trying to attract. Sometimes, giving a property a makeover can make a huge difference to attract buyers but in other situations, a buyer might want to put their own stamp on things and will redecorate anyway.

Our team can give you tailored advice when we do a valuation of your home to help you best prepare your property for sale.

While there is no harm in looking at some properties before you put your own home on the market, to gain an idea of what you can get for your money and what is available in the area you’re interested in. However, until you have an offer on your current property, you are not in a proceedable position so there is less chance of a potential vendor accepting an offer, especially if there are other interested parties who are able to proceed at that point.

It can be heart breaking to find the home of your dreams and lose out on it due to not yet being able to sell your current property in time. The exception would be if you don’t require the funds from selling your current home in order to buy your next property.

We can give you advice on your specific situation but we generally advise to get your home on the market before seriously looking for a new property.
