Selling your home is often a long and tiring process.
It can take months or even a whole year to finally sell your home on the market.
If you’re currently planning on moving property, experts Louisa Fletcher and Andrew Montlake have revealed their top tips.
The gurus often share their advice on a podcast called The Property Show.
Louisa says if your home has been on the market for a while and hasn’t had many viewings, it could be that it’s overpriced.
And she claims sellers need to tell their estate agents from the beginning to avoid disappointment later down the line.
She added: “Everything, be it on a flight path, a main, busy noisy road, whether it’s got a train line in the back garden, you will be able to sell it, you’ve just got to price it right.
“That’s it. If you want to sell in a reasonable time frame, it’s all about the price. Tell your agent that upfront.
“Explain that you understand the time to sell is relative to it being priced realistically and just be straight about what your expectations are.
“Quite a lot of people think their home is worth more than it actually is. That’s normal, I get it.”
She continued: “But if you’re serious about selling, you do need to take the advice of a good agent because they will know what it’s worth.”
Louisa also says if you’re looking to sell for “top dollar” then you may miss out on the type of properties you want to buy.
The property guru adds if you’re selling then you should trust the advice of an estate agent.
Estate agents will give advice and it’s important to take it on board, but Louisa warns there’s one thing you should never say to them.

She detailed: “The worst thing you can do is say to an agent, ‘I want you to put it on for this price because I believe it’s worth this much’. It [your home] will just sit there.”
Andrew agreed and claims estate agents are experts for a reason.
He added: “You wouldn’t tell a pilot how to fly a plane.”
