Property Value On The Market Is Rising – How To Compete

The total value of property currently for sale in Britain stands at £117bn, so there is great activity in the housing market, and at Prestige & Village, we are here to help rural homeowners connect with willing buyers.

There is great demand for rural homes, and even if there is competition in the local area, we are on hand to assist you.

How you can make your home stand out for all the right reasons

Homeowners often ask how they can make their property more appealing to buyers and encourage higher offers. There are a few key things homeowners can do to help their property stand out:

Keep the property clean and tidy both inside and out. This first impression will go a long way with potential buyers.
Make sure all repairs are made before putting the house on the market.
Stage the property in a way that is appealing to buyers. This can make a big difference in how quickly the property sells.
Pay attention to curb appeal. This is the first thing buyers will see when they pull up to your house and it can be a make or break factor in their decision.
Price the property competitively. This will help to generate interest and ensure that you get the most value for your home.

What can rural homeowners do to encourage house buyers to consider their home?

There are a few key things rural homeowners can do to encourage buyers to consider their property which are specific to homes in a village or countryside setting.

Promote the local area. Buyers will be interested in knowing what the village or countryside has to offer in terms of amenities and activities.

Highlight the property’s unique features. This could include anything from traditional features to stunning views.

Emphasise the peace and quiet. This is a key selling point for rural homes as buyers are often looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life.

How does a good estate agent help rural homeowners connect with house buyers?

A good estate agent will have a wealth of experience and knowledge when it comes to connecting rural homeowners with house buyers. They will be able to promote the key selling points of the property and the local area, as well as highlighting any unique features which may be of interest to buyers. An experienced estate agent will also have a network of potential buyers, which they can tap into when marketing a rural property. This gives homeowners the best chance of connecting with the right buyer for their home.

Colby Short, Co-founder and CEO of GetAgent.co.uk, commented: “The housing market is yet to show any signs of running low on steam and it seems as though every week there are reports of property values reaching new record highs. This house price performance is being driven by a sustained level of market activity from the nation’s homebuyers and this demand, coupled with a lack of stock, is the driving factor behind house price inflation. So when you consider that there are almost 380,000 homes currently listed for sale across Britain, worth a huge £117bn in the current market, and this still isn’t enough, it really does put our appetite for homeownership into perspective.”
