How much storage space is there?

Your home’s storage solutions could be a hot topic for buyers, especially if your demographic consists of first-time buyers or young families leaving behind the confines of rented accommodation. Having your home professionally staged to showcase its space-saving features is a great way to prepare your home for this question.

How long has the house been on the market for?

Prospective buyers may ask how long your home has been on the market, but this shouldn’t be viewed as an attempt to catch you out. Finding out how long the home has been listed for sale might help the buyer gauge whether they need to act urgently. If the listing is new, this might encourage them to place their offer right away before another buyer comes in.

What’s the area like?

Committing to a home also means committing to new surroundings and a different community. Having an agent who is well-versed in the dynamics, conveniences and amenities of the local area is paramount in attracting the right buyer.

Is the property freehold or leasehold?

The property’s tenure largely dictates its future resale value, so this is an important question for buyers to ask. If your property is freehold, your agent will be able to utilise this as a key selling point. If there is a shorter lease attached to the home, you may consider extending it to attract a buyer and a higher sales price. However, if you don’t plan on extending your short lease, your agent will know which demographic to market to, such as buy-to-let investors.

What is included in the sale?

Certain fixtures and fittings may attract buyers to your home, so it’s important to clearly outline everything that is included in the sale price so that there is no room for confusion. Buyers may also be willing to offer a higher price to have certain fittings included in the sale, which leaves you in a strong position to negotiate.

Have any major renovations been made?

Finding out if any major reconstruction work has taken place allows the buyer to fully understand the property’s condition and value. As a seller, you will need to provide legal documents relating to any major work completed on the home, so it’s important to be prepared for this question from the offset.

Do you have planning permission?

Planning permission is a highly attractive feature for many buyers and applying for planning permission to add an extension or an extensive remodel only costs around £170 depending on your location. This is a small price to pay when you can add thousands to the value of your home if your application is granted.

What is the energy rating of the property?

The energy rating of a property is crucial to assessing the potential long-term costs of maintaining a comfortable living environment. When preparing your home for a sale, your agent will advise you on any areas of improvement which might help bump up your EPC rating.

Just completed upon my mum’s bungalow in Horbury Wakefield. This was a complex sale (Shared Ownership Scheme) involving Landlord, their Solicitors & Managing Agents working in conjunction with my Solicitors and the Purchasers Solicitors. It was extremely challenging and demanding but was successfully orchestrated and managed by their Senior Property Consultant Mandy Bennett based in their Ossett Agency. We fully recognise and appreciate this was only achieved through the hard work and persistence of Mandy supported by her fellow colleagues in the local area. We were always kept up to date at all stages and would highly recommend Richard Kendall’s Estate Agents. Steve 15/04/2025
From the outset it was a privilege to converse with Karen Marijewko. She made the whole process very straightforward. The Richard Kendall software system updating me regularly with viewings was extremely good. Overall a simple, clear and efficient process. Highly recommend this company and Karen. Mr Snow 15/04/2025
We would like to thank Catherine and Shireen for working so hard in our selling/buying. They were so knowledgeable, polite and extremely helpful. They gave us lots of support. All the other staff were helpful too, especially Margaret. Thank you so much. Kind regards, Sue and Keith. Sue 15/04/2025
Excellent service. Can't rate Leah enough at Ossett branch. She went above and beyond to get our completion through before the end March. Alan 15/04/2025
Richard Kendall Estate Agents guided us through a tough buyer’s market when other agents pushed us to drastically lower our property’s price. Despite our urgency to sell, they advised against a steep reduction, suggesting a modest drop instead. Their insight—that finding the right buyer takes time—proved spot-on. Within a week of the adjustment, a couple fell in love with our home and bought it, leaving us wondering if we’d undersold. Alison and the team were professional, communicative, and strategic—focused on value, not just a quick sale. Highly recommend! David 15/04/2025
