Okay so this might seem a little premature, seeing as were only just approaching Christmas with another 7-8 months of schooling to go.
Identify the your Market. Ask yourself who would this House appeal to ? Young, Old, Married, Professionals, Commuters. Couples, Singles, Sharers........
For example, would you a market a Bungalow at young Professionals ? Or a 5 Bed Detached Property at retired Couples ?
Your Agent should be aware of this and should be Marketing Accordingly. Pictures, Wording and Lifestyle Descriptions on the Brochures, Advertisements and Web-Listings should all be geared up to appeal to your Target Market.

You should now consider choosing a solicitor or conveyancer to deal with the legal work to transfer ownership of the property.
You could do this yourself, however this is not for the faint-hearted and should only be undertaken if you have a good understanding of Contract Law.
You may already know a firm through friends or family recommendation's, Word of mouth can be a good way of deciding, however peoples expectations vary so be wary!
You should decide which one you want to use before you agree the sale of your house, this will ensure delays are kept to a minimum. Obviously you can only instruct them once you have agreed an offer.
As well as a Traditional High Street Solicitor, there are now a number of Online Conveyance Sites available which can be a cheaper option.

Probably the most difficult decision when selling your home is trying to Ascertain what its worth and therefore what price to put it on the market for.
Its vital therefore that you do some research and get to know the local Housing market.
You can get a number of local Estate Agents to do an evaluation, but don’t necessarily go for the highest.
They may overprice in an attempt to get you to sign up for a long Contract and then spend the next few weeks asking you to drop the Price.
Also its important to remember that buyers will probably try to negotiate a discount, so be prepared and factor in a Small Percentage to allow for 'wriggle' room! 5% to 10% should be sufficient.
Just remember: your house is only worth what someone else is prepared to pay at the time you are prepared to sell.
If the two cases are the Same then you've potentially got a Sale!
So now the House is ready and looking sharp. So ask yourself who should I get to sell it ?
You can sell your home yourself, use a traditional estate agent, or an online estate agent. Each has its own advantages and Dis-advantages.
If you use an agent make sure you do plenty of research, but also decide if you want one Agent or multiple.
Having too many Agents may make you look a bit desperate, so you'd be better off choosing a good local Agent who is motivated, properly vets any prospects, will accompany all clients, but importantly gives good feedback on any viewings. Most Agents will work on a 'No Sale No Fee' Basis and will charge a percentage of the Final Selling Price.
Be wary of additional Extras (floorplans, glossy Brochures, Professional Photos etc) as these may require upfront payment.
Just make sure you know what your Getting for the money.
Online Agents are becoming more prevalent as they can offer savings over conventional agent, as long as you feel happy conducting viewings. Basically they will set you up for an upfront fee and then its down to you
Selling yourself is an option but only if you have the time, are organized and have a lot of Patience. Its not for the fainthearted !
