Everyone has an opinion of value when it comes to real estate and often parties have a vested interest in the result so it may be prudent to obtain a valuation by a Certified Professional Valuer.

There are many reasons why a formal property valuation may be required. There may be a legal requirement or independent advice from a Certified Professional Valuer may be obtained prior to placing a home on the market. Alternatively you may wish to obtain independent valuation advice prior to purchasing a home.

When buying a property you are in a stronger negotiating position if you can offer an unconditional or a subject only to finance contract.

A contract subject to the sale of your home or investment property creates uncertainty for the seller. If your property is not sold within the time appointed the seller will then have to place their property back on the market. Sellers may not accept a subject sale condition.

If you sell your property first you will be in a stronger negotiating position, but be aware that you may have to secure alternative accommodation if the settlement of the property you sell and the property you buy don’t occur on the same day.

Alternatively, if you buy before selling your existing property, you should carefully examine the financial costs of holding both properties for a period of time. Also consider that the price you may hope to achieve selling your property may be less than you expect, so build in a buffer. Get professional advice before you act.

Historically spring is the best time to sell. After a long cold winter, spring brings out better weather and we become more active and positive. Spring flowers make our gardens look bright and colourful. As a result more sellers place their homes on the market as buyers become more active.

The reality, however, is that we all move house for different reasons and have different needs, a job transfer, building a new home, downsizing and so on, all occurring at various times during the year.

Other factors such as financing issues and tax implications for investment properties all complicate the timing of the sale .

Always remember that regardless of the time of the year, if you are buying and selling in the same market it should not matter if the market is rising or falling.
