When tenants move out, it’s not just about handing over the keys and advertising the property again. The period between tenancies is a crucial window for landlords in the UK to ensure the property is legally compliant, safe, and attractive to new tenants.

Thinking of selling soon? Setting the right asking price can make or break your move. Here’s why overvaluing your home, even with the best intentions, can actually reduce its true market value and slow your sale.

Overvaluation is one of the most common pitfalls sellers in the UK face, and it can turn what should be an exciting move into a long, frustrating process. In this guide, we’ll explore what overvaluation really means, why it happens, how to spot the warning signs, and what you can do if your home has been priced too high.

At first, it might seem like a purely practical decision — after all, moving furniture can be expensive and time-consuming. But in reality, it’s also a strategic choice that can influence how quickly your property sells and the price you achieve.
