Start with the timing

Write down the desired sale date, the next-home date, the people who need to move and the amount of overlap your household can carry. A short timeline helps you ask better questions of an estate agent, lender, notary or adviser.

Prepare the property record

Gather ownership papers, permits, energy information, renovation invoices, service-charge details and known maintenance issues. Keep a note of what is confirmed, what needs inspection and what still needs an adviser’s view.

Connect the two decisions

The sale and the next purchase can affect cash flow, financing, moving dates and temporary housing. The costs page helps you list one-off and recurring items. The buyer page gives you a short set of questions for the next home.

Keep claims in proportion

An asking price is a starting point for discussion. Compare similar homes, record the date of each figure and leave room for condition, location and negotiation. Use the contact page for questions about this website’s content, and keep private documents out of a general form.
