Starting Your House Selling Journey in Liverpool: A Guide from the Experts
At David Michael Properties, we're often approached by homeowners in Liverpool who are considering selling their homes, asking me whether they should secure a new home before putting their current one on the market. My advice, rooted in years of local market experience, is that you should kick off your house-selling process before zeroing in on your new home.
Curious why? Keep reading for more insights.
Boost Your Negotiating Power with a Listed Property
In the dynamic Liverpool housing market, sellers tend to be hesitant to accept offers from buyers who have a house to sell that is not yet on the market. When you put your house up for sale, it signifies your serious intent to move. If you've already secured a buyer for your house, your negotiating position is even stronger. You can confidently make offers on your preferred properties, knowing that your house-selling plan is well underway.
Moreover, if you don't immediately find a house you love, there's no need for concern. With your house listed for sale, you've already taken a significant step forward. You can take your time to sell, especially if you haven't yet found your new home. This also gives you ample time to explore new areas and plan your next move.
Contribute to Keeping the Liverpool Housing Market Vibrant
Imagine if everyone in Liverpool who wanted to move waited to find their next home before listing their current one for sale. That would result in a lack of available homes for purchase, leading to a significant slowdown in the local housing market. This in turn could affect property prices and delay the moving process for everyone. By listing your home for sale early, you're helping to maintain a healthy and fluid local property market.
Before You List Your House for Sale: A Checklist
The first step if you're considering a move is to get a valuation of your current home. This will help you plan your budget and finances for the move. After that, consult with a mortgage advisor who can assist in finding the best mortgage deal for your needs. Once you have all this information, it's time to list your property for sale.
Here are some key steps to take before engaging an estate agent to market your Liverpool property:
- Research potential areas and types of property for your next home
- Keep up-to-date with the Liverpool property market
- Obtain mortgage pre-approval or a Decision in Principle (DIP) to demonstrate your serious buyer status
- Find a trustworthy Liverpool estate agent to list your home on the market

Highly recommend. Contacted David after a friend recommended him after selling a family members house. Excellent communication from start to finish. Prompt valuation and subsequent advertising- with an offer on my property within 2 days. Seamless process from start to completion. His knowledge in his field is second to none. David goes above and beyond with communication and was always available for a chat to talk through any queries I had. Amazing service and nothing was ever too much trouble.
Would highly recommend to anyone looking to sell their property.

After talking to a number of agents and auction companies, we chose David Michael Properties to help with the sale of our investment property in Liverpool. As we are based in the South-East we were looking for a hassle-free option that would maximise the sales price.
David provided an amazing personal service, liaising with the auction company who managed the sale, conducting viewings and anything else we asked for including taking meter readings, etc. In the end, we managed to bring home a little more than our initial expectations, so all good there as well.
If you want a great personal service that takes the hassle out of the sales process, while achieving the true sales value of your property, I would highly recommend David Michael Properties.
