As the year draws to a close, homeowners in East Preston, Littlehampton, Angmering, and Rustington are taking time to reflect and plan ahead. December is an ideal month to prepare your property for the new year. While the market may quieten slightly during the festive season, this is a great opportunity to get ahead and position your home for a successful 2026 sale.
1. Get Ahead of the Spring Rush
Spring is traditionally the busiest time in the property market. By preparing your home now, you’ll be ready to list early in 2026, giving yourself a competitive edge and the best chance of attracting motivated buyers.
2. Present Your Home at Its Best
The festive season can highlight your home’s charm. Now is the perfect time to declutter, refresh, and stage your property so it looks its best to potential buyers. Even small improvements can make a big difference when it comes to first impressions.
3. Understand Your Property’s Current Value
