The school summer holidays are well underway and people are now thinking about an Autumn home move.

September could be a great time to sell

Knowing when to put your property on the market can be a tough decision, but if you are looking for a pre-Christmas move, then September could be the best time to sell

• Schools' admission deadlines take place at the end of January/beginning of February. If you market your property in September, this gives a buyer potentially time to move into their preferred school catchment area in time. This is a key driver for people potentially moving to Bramhope – the primary school is Ofsted-rated outstanding!
• Once school summer holidays are behind us, people have time to focus more on moving home and starting up the selling process again.
• You could be celebrating Christmas with your family and friends in your new home. The Christmas deadline is a big driver for when properties are launched.
• Gardens are still looking lovely in early September. Once the leaves start to fall off the trees, this provides potential viewers with even better views. If you live in North Leeds, this is something really positive.
• Gardens are still glowing with flowers in full bloom, so still very photogenic.
• The evenings are still light until early October, making viewings easier to arrange.
• During September, people use the New Year as a goal for being determined to move by.

September could be a successful choice

There can be many contributing factors that determine the best time to sell your home, but September could be quite a successful choice.
