Before you get a real estate agent through the door, check the prices of homes sold over the past 12 months with online agents such as Nethouseprices, Rightmove and Zoopla to give you a rough idea-see our free guide to estimating house prices for more information.
Compare your property with similar sizes and specifications. You can do this quite accurately with Rightmove, which shows original property listings (including photos) at the point of sale. Be realistic and don't let stubborn pride in the state of your property cloud your judgment and lead to inflated prices.
With a clear view of sales in the recent past, you can accurately evaluate your home. By looking at the ones currently on sale, you can price your home competitively. Remember: very few properties are sold at the asking price – I hope yours will cost more, but don't be disappointed if it sells for less.
