Wow, that bedroom and kitchen will now sell your house! What a drastic difference. You may get away with that kitchen ceiling/light as many forget to look up when they're viewing. Make sure the light is on - ie don't turn it on or it'll do that flashy thing they do and draw attention to it. Still a tiny bit of improving that could be done, but that now looks fabulous!

I seriously had to go back to my last notes as I couldn't see what possibly could have been wrong with it last time. Small but effective improvements.

Well done, and thanks for listening to everyone and taking stuff on board

Good luck! Crossing fingers!

Called them. I have rang several times to ask how many hits our house was getting on rightmove they didn’t know if they could do this ?
They didn’t put our property in the window or on there own website to advertise. They are a small independent estate agents. I’m not sure if they are doing everything by the book as the new estate agent made us sign a contract, got the ball rolling with solicitor so we are ahead if we get a buyer and has organised for an EPC ASAP.
I’m not sure I’ve never sold a house before but could tell the difference in professionalism between the two. ����!♀️

Good luck with your viewings.
One word of caution...you mention the new estate agent got the ball rolling with a solicitor, was this one they recommended or one your chose independently? You are best off getting quotes from several solicitors and deciding which you chose to go with. This way the solicitor is independent and working for you, not for the estate agent.

We actually have to use the solictior recommended by the new build company we are using which I didn’t realise but they pay the fees! Thanks though for your advice .

Would definitely have used an independent solicitor, even if it meant paying extra fees.

Me too
The solicitors fees would be a small price to pay for assurance in what is a very large purchase.

No. You really don't.

The EA would like you to use their recommended solicitor because they will be on the their side, not yours.

The solicitor you choose should have your best interests as their primary motivation, not be concerned whether or not rocking the boat will lose them a massive contract. If this means paying yourself then so be it, it's definitely worth the extra security on what will be the biggest purchase of your life.

I mean the the house we want is a new build currently getting built when we went to the sales office she said we use their appointed solicitor as they pay £750 towards the fees.
New to all this as never sold a house before.

We understand.

It's your choice, but some of us would not agree to that. We'd want a fully independent legal person to examine the contract and title documents, not someone who's in the pay of the builder.
