Selling your house in the current market generally means waiting a long time to find a buyer. But there are ways to speed up this process.

The Financial Times yesterday printed a “practical guide to selling property”. Whilst a number of points are mainly common sense I thought it was worth repeating them:

• Know the current situation in the housing market
• Price your property realistically
• But don’t go too low
• Smarten up your place to attract a buyer
• Beware of guzundering (where buyers pull the price down at the last minute)
• Avoid delays in the selling process
• Wait for a firm offer on your property
• Eliminate the problem
