01

Make the description defensible

Before a house is advertised, confirm the property type, room count, location, included fixtures and current occupancy. Gather the documents a serious buyer will ask to review. An asking price needs a clear basis in comparable properties and condition rather than a figure chosen only to attract attention.

02

Show the real property

Recent, authorised photographs and a straightforward floor description save everyone wasted inspections. Repair obvious issues you intend to repair and disclose work that remains. Keep a simple viewing plan: who has keys, when can buyers visit and who answers technical questions?

  • Confirm the exact address and access instructions.
  • Document fixtures included in the sale.
  • Agree how enquiries and offers will be recorded.
03

Protect the handover

Decide the proposed handover date, how outstanding utility or service charges will be handled and which adviser will prepare transaction documents. Success Property Managers can help package the listing and manage enquiries, while the seller keeps the facts and authority clear.

“Buyers kept asking what came with the house. I would settle that list before posting the property again.”
A sample voice illustrating the question in this guide.
Illustrative scenario

A seller receives repeated enquiries asking whether a generator, kitchen fittings and furniture are included. The listing should answer those questions clearly. A short inventory, current photographs and an agreed viewing contact can turn vague interest into useful buyer conversations.
