Your Property Just Won’t Sell
You can do something about it : Here are 6 Steps to Sell a House That Won’t Sell.
- Consider Re-pricing
This is one of the most important considerations while trying to sell a property. It is possible that you only think that it is reasonably priced, but it may be more expensive as compared to other similar ones. If it is so, reconsider bringing it down to match the market trend.
In case it is not so, you may try offering a 5% cut. It usually helps but only at early stages. Later, it may sound only desperate.
- Reconsider Your Estate Agent
The mandates with the agents usually end only for three months. If your agent fails in closing a deal within three months, you get entitled to approach other agents. And when you do so, and if you can spare some extra money, you may consider hiring more than one. This will give you a fresh and a holistic perspective. It could become a re-energized process thereon.
- The Advertisement could Be the Thing
It is of essence that the way you present your property be appealing. Chances are that your advert may not be doing so. So, review it, become a bit creative without being fancy. In short, get it out of that stale rut.
- Revamp if Necessary
Yes, the molded grout, the old cisterns, worn our carpet could only be some things that may be repelling buyers. If it takes a little expense, be open to making that investment to revamp the property like new.
- Go to the Street and Gauge the “Curb Appeal”
Yes, packaging makes the first impression. Go outside your house and see what needs repair and maintenance. Get the exteriors cleaned, paint the walls, tend to the garden a bit and voila! your curb appeal will be back in place, attracting more buyers and better prices.
- Do This when All else Fails
If all else fails, just exit the circuit for a while. Unsold properties that have been listed for too long tend to create a negative impression on the buyers. So, go off the grid, and come back after a few months, or in the next season. A fresh lot of interested buyers is sure to be waiting.
Keep in mind that you will need to produce necessary documents like a copy of the title deed of the purchase, utility bills like electricity bill, water bill, IBI, community fees, etc. Also required will be a copy of NIE certificates and passports, the Energy Efficiency Certificate and the updated Land Registry history of your property in Costa del Sol. So, keep them handy.
