Why September Could Be a Good Time to Sell Your Property

September can be an good time to consider putting your property on the market in the UK. With the transition from summer to autumn, this often-overlooked month could offer some surprising benefits for homeowners ready to sell. Here’s why this time of year might work in your favour and how to prepare your home for potential buyers.

There are active buyers with families looking to move with view to submitting applications for their child’s school and some looking in the hope that they can move in before Christmas. This year with the news that interest rates have been cut and added to the fact that rents are on the increase, there is an added appetite for buyers to get on the ladder or move.

Steps to Get Your Property Ready for Sale

  • Kerb Appeal: Make sure your home’s exterior looks inviting by tidying up and adding some seasonal touches.
  • Declutter: Create a neutral space by removing excess items and personal belongings to help buyers imagine themselves in the home.
  • Refresh: Consider a fresh coat of paint, thorough cleaning, and small updates to make your property feel more appealing.
  • High-Quality Photos: Work with your estate agent to take professional photos that showcase your home online, attracting more potential buyers.

Thinking of selling soon? Setting the right asking price can make or break your move. Here’s why overvaluing your home, even with the best intentions, can actually reduce its true market value and slow your sale.

Selling a family home is about more than moving, it’s about managing a transition with clarity, care and confidence. Here’s how to approach your move in early 2026 with less stress and more ease.

Your online valuation was a great starting point, but it’s only a rough guide. Algorithms can’t walk through your home, see the upgrades you’ve made, or understand the demand we’re currently getting from buyers. That’s why in-person valuations are always more accurate.
