INSIGHT
How you can make the most of the sunshine when selling your home in London
Our summer wardrobe is out, and our slightly rouge tones will suggest that we have been loving this beautiful weather we have been having. There’s been no slowing down of the property market over the last few weeks, so you will often seeing us dashing from one appointment to another. We have loved meeting so many wonderful local people wishing to fulfil their desire to move home, whether that’s to upsize, downsize or buy for the first time. The sun has a way of adding a touch of sparkle to a home, which is why it is crucial to make the most of that glorious sunshine when selling your home in London.
Let them shine
Whilst you are busying making sure your home’s interior is perfect, there are often little jobs that can get missed, and one of them is your windows. As the ground is so dry, there can be a lot of dust around, which will often migrate, leaving your windows with a bit of film of muck. If you have a window cleaner regularly, you have nothing to worry about. If you don’t, you may want to increase their visits or start instructing one, so your windows always look crystal clear; this is very important to make use of all this gorgeous natural light.
Let is pour in
With your windows shining, you want to make use of all the natural light that pours into your home. You may have been keeping blinds closed to keep your home cooler, but for a buyer, a dark or grey room is not as attractive as one filled with an abundance of natural light. Ensure all your blinds are open entirely and tie your curtains back so they will not be flapping around in the breeze.
Let in some air
After months of stuffiness due to the not so nice weather, isn’t it fantastic to be able to open your windows and doors and have your home filled with fresh air? It’s also a great way of helping to get rid of slight niggly odours and adds a sense of calmness and that all-important feeling of home. On the day of a viewing, open your windows, and ensure your estate agent has all the keys to open the doors, so your home is beautifully ventilated.
Let summer appear
Our homes are an extension of our personal style and tastes; how you’ve decorated yours will be different to your neighbours. Neutral tones are always preferred when selling your home, and at this time of year, add some fun summer shades as accents. Warm winter tones with fluffy textiles are great for those colder months when we all wish to snuggle, but at this time of year, clean, fresh and fun is the look you are going for, as this will appeal to this season’s buyers.
Let colours pop
It isn’t just inside your home where you need to think of colour; focus on the outside of your home too. From your front door to your hanging basket to the flowerbeds or pots in your garden, you need to get busy wherever you can add colour. There are many places you can buy plants of all shades for your home; remember to add something to the front of your property and the back, so all areas feel loved and cared for.
Check out the local allotments, garden centres and even on Facebook page’s, as there are a wealth of choices for all budgets.
Let the sun help to sell
It’s easy to let the sunshine help sell your London home this summer, but even though properties are selling quickly, if you want the best possible price, you must do all you can to make your house looks and feels its best.

Why do I need an estate agent when selling my home in London
Hot, hot, hot! We’re not describing the weather we had a few days ago (but hasn’t it been amazing?), we’re talking about the UK property market right now. With a fast and vibrant market such as this, it could be easy to believe that any home will sell as long as you put it on Rightmove – right? And with so many choices when it comes to selling your home, you may be thinking – why do I need an estate agent? But there is a big difference between finding a buyer and selling your home, so let us tell you why you need an estate agent and, more importantly, why you need us.
What an experienced seller knows
Experienced home sellers completely understand the value of choosing an estate agent such as us over a ‘post and pray’ agent who presses the upload button on Rightmove and waits to see what happens. Whilst they are uploading, we’ve already been working our magic to find a buyer – and Rightmove is only one tool in our sales kit.
When it comes to marketing any product or home, you want to use a range of sources, whether that’s online, social media, in print format, or a good agent’s secret weapon – word of mouth. We invest in the right places, such as professional photography, video content, and personally calling those local buyers that have expressed an interest in a home like yours. At Right Now Residential we put huge effort into marketing your home and creating a strategy that is specifically designed to find you the right buyer and the highest price possible.
You can’t beat local
When you’ve worked in the local property market as long as we have, you gain an in-depth understanding in how it works and moves. This knowledge is invaluable, as we can give you honest and realistic advice throughout your sale. One thing about the local market in London is that you need to know the streets: the value of similar properties can vary depending on the location, and this is where an agent outside the area relying on generic data could fall short. If your home is not valued correctly, you can end up either underselling your home and missing out financially, or if your home is overpriced it will appear undesirable and you will again lose money in the long run.
Remember that an estate agent such as ourselves doesn’t get paid until your sale completes. For every hour we spend with you, we will have worked on average nine hours behind the scenes on your behalf – and we haven’t even got started yet! Not all estate agents work the same way, so it’s worth getting to know how each agent plans to sell your home so that you can make the right choice for you.
Keeping you informed
Communication is vital, and no one likes the sound of silence when selling a home. You want to know how your buyers are doing – is the chain in good shape and, more importantly, how quickly are things moving? At Right Now Residential you will never be ‘on mute’, from the moment you list your home with us. We don’t believe in numbers; we may sell houses but we are a people business and love getting to know the lovely homebuyers and sellers we meet every day. No matter who needs our help, we are just a call, a WhatsApp message, or an email away.
Once you have found a buyer, that’s when the real works begins for an estate agent, as the sales process can be filled with highs, lows, and nerves. Yes, finding a buyer may be easy in this market but keeping your sale on track and your chain together? That takes work. Delays and frustrations can cause fractions within chains and it’s our job to smooth everything over and keep the process moving.
It can be hard to comprehend work that you cannot see, and you may not even be aware of everything we’re doing. When you decorate your home, for example, it’s so visual that you appreciate the result straight away, but having a damp proof course done, though it’s not something you can see, will protect your home for the long term.
Your advocate
Being your estate agent means we become your advocate. Not only do we provide you with all the support you need during the sale process, we also protect your interests. From managing the negotiations so we can achieve that amazing sale figure from the right buyer, to accompanying every single buyer as they view your home, sharing your passion for the property, we will be your voice within the chain and help turn those home moving dreams into a reality.
Let’s get started
Whether you’re buying for the first time, or are in need of an upgrade, we’re ready to help you glide smoothly from one home to the next. Give our team a call today on and let’s get you started on the road to your new home.

Classic fibs we tell ourselves when buying a home in London
Welcome to the emotional ride that is buying a home in London. When you are spending so much money, you want to make sure you choose the right investment. The process is exciting, complicated and, let’s face it, a little bit scary at times. Your mind is bound to be racing with so many things – wants, needs, location and lifestyle, compromises and must-haves. We all have those little fibs we tell ourselves to make things feel a little easier. Here are some fun classic fibs that many homebuyers tell themselves when looking for a new home.
1. I’m going to keep below my budget
You know that it’s essential to establish your budget before you start looking at houses. For one, you don’t want to be disappointed should you be able to afford less than you thought, but also if you have a mortgage in principle this places you in a stronger position when it’s time to make an offer. With your budget in hand, we know many home hunters have a deep desire to stay below that figure, but the reality is many don’t. Now this isn’t through lack of trying, they just discover that those extra pennies can often get them the home they really want.
One strong word of warning: if you know that your budget will be stretching you financially, lower it to something you are more comfortable with. You may have to make a compromise or two but you will be happy you did when you feel more financially stable.
2. It’s fine if they don’t accept my offer
This is such a typical way of trying to prepare yourself for disappointment, because deep down you know that you absolutely want this house and you will be shedding a tear or two if you don’t get it. But telling ourselves a fib like this makes us feel a little better, as does the relief when the offer is accepted and we can finally be honest!
3. I’m happy to do some work
It is always tempting to look at properties that need some work because, at the end of the day, you can turn them into exactly what you want and add value along the way. But what you think you’re up for now may not be the reality. We have seen many cases over the years where would-be renovators end up standing inside a project house looking like bunnies caught in the headlights. Be honest with yourself, when you say, “I’m happy to do some work”, do you really mean, “I don’t mind painting the walls but knocking one down and doing any kind of building is a little out of my depth”?
4. I’m not in any rush
Now we wouldn’t say searching for a new home can become addictive, but it’s funny how you start off with intentions of not rushing – and then suddenly that changes. You avidly check any new listings daily – okay, maybe hourly – to try and get in there first, calling the agents quickly to arrange a viewing because you don’t want to miss out by only sending an email. Pretty soon your ‘not in any rush’ mentality is replaced by a quest that you can’t seem to walk away from.
5. The house will still be available in a few days
Or will it? We would love to tell you that you have some thinking time after a viewing, time to see other properties and check out the location, but the fact is, in the current market, waiting is a sure-fire way of missing out on a property you love. Houses are flying right now, but that doesn’t mean you should make a rash decision. Try and do your research on the location and similar properties and understand what it is exactly that you need, so that when you attend a viewing on a property that gives you the overwhelming feeling of being your future home, you are ready to act, and act fast.

We know the area intimately, can help you drill down to what’s important in your next home, and explain the best way to approach the sales process.
