Selling your property? How to make sure your dream home isn’t a buyers worst nightmare.
With the current property market proving tough for estate agents and sellers alike, when the perfect buyer is harder to find than a mortgage, what more can we do to achieve sale success?
If ‘why won’t our house sell?’ is a question you are regularly asking yourself - or your estate agent - and you need some inspiration on how to get smart and active in the property market then the hit Canadian show The Unsellables is essential viewing.
It has captured the imagination of Sofie Allsopp who, from a family of property experts (sister Kirsty), has turned her skills to helping homeowners sell their properties across the pond giving us in the UK the opportunity to learn from their chintz mistakes.
Brought to the UK by Real Estate TV, The Unsellables tackles the most unsightly and ‘unsellable’ listings on the property market. From dated décor and filthy interiors to cluttered closets and messy bedrooms, it encourages desperate homeowners to prepare for a sale.
Battling with homeowners’ questionable personal taste and long-standing attachments to household clutter, Sofie and her co-host Anthony Sayers cajole eleven people across thirteen episodes into giving up the mementos and vivid decoration, in order to appeal to the right buyers. From crowded to dated, and dog-eared to drab – it guides, revamps and restores properties to their full glory. But will the owners take the advice to achieve the sale?
The Unsellables is on Mondays at 10pm on Real Estate TV at Sky Channels 273 and 274 or view the series on demand at Virgin TV and at www.realestatetv.tv.
