If you are trying to work out the best time to sell a house, spring is often a sensible starting point in Cardiff, but it is not automatically the right answer for every property. Buyer activity, competing listings, mortgage conditions, how your home presents and your own moving plans can all matter more than choosing a particular month. If your property is ready before the traditional spring period,...
If you are wondering how to choose an estate agent, look beyond the highest suggested asking price or the lowest fee. Compare their local experience, pricing evidence, marketing quality, communication, contract terms and approach to managing the sale once an offer is accepted. A good agent should be able to explain why they recommend a particular strategy and how they will represent your home to...
Once your offer has been accepted, choosing a home survey is one of the next practical decisions.

A house sale rarely happens in one clean movement. It moves through a series of stages, from preparing the property and setting the price to finding the right buyer, progressing the legal work and handing over the keys. So, how long does it take to sell a house? As a realistic guide, many sellers should allow around five to six months from going on the market to completion. Some homes move more quickly....
