Be prepared for Q&A about your home in St Neots and the surrounding area

You can often tell whether a viewer is keen on a property from the questions they ask.

In our experience, the more specific the question, the warmer the prospect. When it comes to preparing for a sale the more information that you can share with your agent, the better. Here are five typical questions to get you thinking.

What are the neighbours like?

Your viewer is envisioning living in your property. Help them do this by letting your agent know the demographic of your neighbourhood. A good agent will assess the viewer’s preference and highlight those neighbours; accordingly, families, elderly people, professionals, students, etc

Where are the closest bus stops?

Go a step further and provide information on the bus routes and the frequency of the service. If it’s only a ten-minute ride into town, or there’s a direct service to schools, let your agent know.

Which way does the garden face?

For those with outside space, most people want to know which way the garden faces. If you’re unsure there’s a helpful app called Lumos, which will point you in the right direction. Garden furniture purposely positioned in sunny spots will show potential buyers where they can sit and catch some rays.

Where do the kids next door go to school?

It’s good if you can let your agent know which school catchment your property sits in. It’s great if you can tell them where the local kids go. Parents’ school preferences vary, with some prioritising the same school as local friends over Ofsted reports.
 
Which takeaways deliver here?

If a buyer is wedded to their weekly teatime treat, this will be essential information. If you have a recommendation, let your agent know, you might tempt prospective buyers with new or unique culinary delights in your local neighbourhood.

If you’re thinking about a property move, it’s definitely worth collating a list of questions to ask your agent.
