Selling your property with Hawes & Co

Any time. It may sound like a cliché but there is no ‘best’ time of year to sell a house. While some houses may be more appealing during certain times of year (a house with a great view of the countryside may photograph better in the summer, for example), we can sell your property at any time. Buyers aren’t seasonally dependent, and we can connect you with the right one whenever you need to sell.

This can depend on a lot of things, from your property type to the housing market and what type of people are looking to buy at that time. We generally estimate that it can take anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks to complete the sale.

When it comes to the selling price, our experienced agents will look at a number of things, from local house prices to trends in the market, and come up with a number that is both competitive and realistic. Ultimately the decision on what to set your selling price at is up to you, we can only offer our expert advice and support you through the process.

As well as our website, we will advertise your property through the main portals including Rightmove and Zoopla. We also maintain a large database of registered buyers who we are able to quickly match to your property via phone, email and property alerts.

First impressions matter when it comes to selling a property, which is why home staging is so important. There are lots of little things you can do that will make a big difference to potential buyers.

To make your rooms feel bigger, tidy away and put into storage as much as you can. If it's winter time, change your light bulbs so they're as bright as possible to make the rooms feel more welcoming. Update your covers and throws, perhaps in light, neutral colours, to try and appeal to more viewers.

We operate in South West London and currently have branches in Raynes Park, Surbiton, Wimbledon Broadway and Wimbledon Village.
