Why November works
- Stock is up vs last year but pricing is measured—good homes still move fast when launched right (Rightmove shows October asking prices +0.3% MoM with activity above 2024). (rightmove.co.uk)
Your 3-week Sharpes plan
Week 1 (Prep & Positioning)

- Fix the small stuff: silicone, paint touch-ups, handy-man hour.
Week 2 (Assets That Sell)
- Pro photography + Matterport + floorplan; benefit-led copy (transport, schools, green space).
- “Coming soon” to Buyer-Match + social teasers.
Week 3 (Go Live & Negotiate)
- Multi-channel launch + Saturday open-house; daily micro-optimisations.
- Clear offer deadline; verify AIPs and proof of funds; progress swiftly to memorandum of sale.
Seller checklist
- EPC and docs ready; solicitor instructed; preferred survey slots pencilled in.
