82 Days to Sell a Property in Frome
Whether you are a Frome landlord looking to liquidate your buy-to-let investment or a Frome homeowner looking to sell your home, finding a buyer and then getting the legal work done can take a frustratingly long time.

Independent research shows that, in the last 12 months, every estate agent in the UK has taken on average, 67 days from the property coming on the market to be sold subject to contract (STC) and then 113 days to get to completion. That's nearly 26 weeks from the board going up.

The 5 Step Process to Decluttering Your Frome Home to Sell
This is our five-step decluttering guide to greatly aid Frome homeowners in both enhancing their living space and boosting their property's appeal to potential buyers.
Here’s our structured plan that progresses from simple to more challenging tasks:
Step 1: Start with Surface Clutter
Begin by tackling the visible clutter on surfaces such as tables, kitchen worksurfaces, and shelves. This initial step creates immediate visual improvement and sets a positive momentum. Remove any items that don't serve a functional or aesthetic purpose in the room. Consider implementing storage solutions like decorative baskets or trays to neatly organise everyday items. This phase not only simplifies your space but also makes it more inviting to potential buyers of your Frome home, showcasing the property's true potential without distractions.
