New Year, New Home: Property Resolutions for 2025
Happy New Year from all of us at Walker Wylie! Whether you’re looking to sell, buy, or simply prepare for future moves, here are some resolutions that can help you make the most of your property goals this year.
BUYERS
Get Financially Fit
Start the year by reviewing your finances. Checking your credit score, reducing debt and planning towards a deposit are great ways to be ready when the time comes to buy. Check out our own mortgage service on our website and get in touch to find out more.
Do Your Research
Get to know what is on offer in the area so you have a solid feel for what you are looking for. Draw up a list of must haves and be prepared to stick by it when you are actively looking. Give us a call and we will happily chat to you about the current market and properties available to make sure you have as much information as possible to help you in your search.
Think Greener
With the Scottish government’s push toward greener homes, considering energy efficiency can be a smart future proofing decision. Many buyers now prioritise properties with modern heating systems and strong energy ratings, as this can reduce future bills as well as help retain a property’s value going forward.
SELLERS
Maximise Your Home’s Appeal
Declutter, deep clean and consider minor upgrades like a coat of paint. First impressions matter, and a well-prepared home can sell faster and at a better price. Don’t forget to highlight eco-friendly features like double glazing or heat pumps. We can help advise you on what your home needs to be market ready – give us a call for a chat.
Set the Right Price
Accurate pricing remains key when creating demand and finalising a sale. With decades of experience selling homes in our area, we are skilled at setting the right price for your property and offer a no obligation valuation.
Plan Ahead
Selling a home takes time, so start early. Be ready for viewings, paperwork, and negotiations. With expert guidance, you can navigate the process smoothly and focus on your next adventure and we would be thrilled to work with you to help you do this.
A Trusted Partner
As one recent review put it: “Walker Wylie was fantastic from start to finish—transparent, knowledgeable, and always approachable. They made a daunting process so much easier!”
