Selling

keys-to-the-door

<h2 class='intro_basic'>As London's number 1 estate agency brand*, Foxtons has the buyers, technology and expertise to sell your home quickly.</h2>
<p><small><small>*Source: TwentyCI data, 2024 v 2023 market share and market share growth of new instructions at a brand level.
</small></small></p>
<p>In the wider market, buyers might slow their pace now that stamp duty has returned to normal rates. But at Foxtons, we're confident we can get it done on your timeline. We are well prepared to get sales across the line this spring, and our pipeline of buyers remains strong. 

<p>At the same time, lenders are not sitting back and waiting for the mortgage market. They understand the need to incentivise buyers now that stamp duty is back, and they're coming out with innovative products to do just that (read: <a href='https://www.foxtons.co.uk/discover/2025/04/the-rise-of-lowdeposit-mortgages-opportunities-at-17year-high' target='_blank'>Low-deposit mortgage options are at a 17 year high</a>).

<p>But if you want a sale with real momentum this spring, there are things you can do too. We asked our sales team to provide their best recommendations for a quick sale, so here's what they recommend:

<div><p><small>Photo by Foxtons Specialist Video & Photography team</small></p>
<h3>1. Bring us a set of keys straight away.</h3>
<p>Your instruction signals our local teams to start ringing their registered buyers. So, if our local office has keys, we can book in viewings fast – as soon after you instruct as you’re ready for.</p></div>
</div>

<div class="news_list_item">
<a href="#" target="_blank"><img src="https://page-assets.foxtons.co.uk/news-images/2025/04/conveyancing/720.jpg" class="rsImg" data-rsTmb="" data-rsw="707" data-rsh="397" alt="" /></a>

<h3>2.	Get your solicitor sorted early doors. </h3>
<p>Being sale-ready means having all your paperwork in order before you find a buyer. <a href='https://www.foxtons.co.uk/sell/conveyancing' target='_blank'>Conveyan</a>, our panel of recommended solicitors, can ensure contracts are sent out the day you accept an offer.</p></div>
</div>

<div class="news_list_item">

<div> <p><small>Photo by Foxtons Specialist Video & Photography team</small></p>
<h3>3.	Make that first impression count. </h3>
<p>Most buyers first spot your home online – our brilliant in-house photographers will capture your property looking its absolute best. You can help rake in the viewing requests by making sure your home is as tidy and clutter-free as possible for those pictures.  
<p>Then, keep everything clean and tidy for viewings, and buyers will be able to see more clearly what your home offers.
</p></div>
</div>

<div class="news_list_item">
<a href="#" target="_blank"><img src="https://page-assets.foxtons.co.uk/news-images/2025/04/paint-rooms/720.jpg" class="rsImg" data-rsTmb="" data-rsw="707" data-rsh="397" alt="" /></a>
<div> <p><small>Photo by Foxtons Specialist Video & Photography team</small></p>
<h3>4.	Present a clean, bright space.</h3>
<p>When you're looking for a quick sale, it's not the time to get architects involved. Big renovations take time, but a simple fresh coat of paint and thorough spring cleaning works wonders. Open curtains to maximise natural light.</p></div>
</div>

<div class="news_list_item">
<a href="#" target="_blank"><img src="https://page-assets.foxtons.co.uk/news-images/2025/04/london-network-of-buyers/720.jpg" class="rsImg" data-rsTmb="" data-rsw="707" data-rsh="397" alt="" /></a>
<div> <p><small>Photo by Foxtons Specialist Video & Photography team</small></p>
<h3>5. Tap into our London-wide network</h3>
<p><b>To sell quickly, you’ll want to be sure you have as large a buyer pool as you can.</b> 
<p>If your agent is just looking for buyers who’ve registered their search in the local area, they’re missing an entire demographic. Foxtons agents can show properties anywhere – not just in their assigned patch – and are skilled at introducing renters to areas of London they’ll love. 
<p>So, using the latest market data from our entire network, we factor demand from across London into your pricing strategy. It’s why you’ll get more out of a Foxtons valuation.
<p><b>Thinking outside the postcode. That’s how we get it done.</b></p></p></div>
</div>

<div class="news_list_item">
<a href="#" target="_blank"><img src="https://page-assets.foxtons.co.uk/news-images/2025/04/viewings-hours/720.jpg" class="rsImg" data-rsTmb="" data-rsw="707" data-rsh="397" alt="" /></a>

<h3>6. Be flexible with viewings.</h3>
<p>Another way to increase your buyer pool is to be flexible when it comes to viewings. <b>22% of Foxtons viewings happen outside regular hours</b> - so, you’ll get more buyer interest if you let your agent show properties in the evenings.</p></div>
</div>

<div class="news_list_item">
<a href="#" target="_blank"><img src="https://page-assets.foxtons.co.uk/news-images/2024/03/auction1/720.jpg" class="rsImg" data-rsTmb="" data-rsw="707" data-rsh="397" alt="" /></a> 
<div><p><small>Photo by Foxtons Specialist Video & Photography team</small></p>
<h3>7. We get it done <i>fast</i></h3>
<p>If you need an even faster sale, try Foxtons hybrid auctions. Yes, these are auctions, but not as you know them. No auction houses, no secret bids – Foxtons Auctions are carefully organised to be transparent and user-friendly, specifically designed for the typical London homeowner to succeed. 
<p>And the best part? Our average time is 71 days – <b>that’s less than 2 months from listing to exchange</b>.*</p></div>

Legislation

eicr-renewal

<h2 class='intro_basic'>Remember April 2020? While the world was navigating unprecedented times, a crucial piece of legislation quietly came into effect for landlords: the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations. Fast forward five years, and for many, that initial Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is likely nearing its expiration date.</h2>


<p>Your EICR is the electrical health check for your property. It's a vital document confirming that your wiring, sockets, and other electrical installations are safe for your tenants. Neglecting this renewal isn't just a breach of the law – it could put your tenants at risk and leave you vulnerable to hefty fines and potential legal repercussions.

<p>"A valid EICR isn't merely a legal box-ticking exercise—it's essential protection for your property and tenants," emphasises Fran Giltinan, Managing Director of Property Management & Customer Experience at Foxtons. "For self-managing landlords especially, we recommend booking inspections promptly as technicians' schedules might fill quickly. Plan ahead to ensure your properties remain compliant without the last-minute scramble.”

<p>Read the full quote in our latest <a href='https://cms-assets.foxtons.co.uk/2025_04_Lettings_Market_Report_March_2025_LL_21961ec305.pdf' target='_blank'>Lettings Market Report</a>.

<h3>&#x1f4c8; Key numbers from the report</h3>
<p style="margin-left: 25px">• <b>Demand:</b> March saw an 11% month-on-month rise in applicant registrations. Year on year,
demand was stable, tracking just 2% below March 2024 levels.
<p style="margin-left: 25px">• <b>Supply:</b> March saw a 14% increase in new rental listings across London compared to February, marking the strongest month-on-month uplift so far in 2025.

<h3>Don't forget your EICR</h3>
<p style="margin-left: 45px; margin-right: 45px;"><i>"April 2025 marks five years since the Electrical Safety Standards regulations took effect, requiring rental properties to be inspected by qualified technicians. This document is typically valid for 5 years, which means many original EICRs are now due for renewal..."</i> </p>

<p>Fran shared an important reminder in this month's Lettings Market Report. For many landlords, it's time to renew your EICR to ensure your property is compliant and safe. 
<p>If you do not use Foxtons Property Management (who will organise this process for you) you need to know when your EICR is due for renewal and ensure you have a qualified engineer carrying out the checks. <b>Don't forget your EICR!</b>

<div class="panel">
  <p>ST: Right now, we are seeing renters view many more developments before making their decision. They’re comparing everything—from affordability to community and convenience—so your offering must be crystal clear. We’re seeing buildings with fewer amenities leasing quickly because operators can offer lower rents. And lower rents plus the BTR experience is a massive draw.
<p>Meanwhile, competition to reach renters is intensifying. March saw listings jump 14% from February—and yes, that's significantly higher than last year. But the real story is in the trend. Throughout Q1 this year, new listings have consistently outpaced 2022 and 2023. This is an entirely different market dynamic. So the strategies that worked 2-3 years ago won't cut it now.
<P>First and foremost, you’ll need to know how you stack up against your competitors. Particularly with London's cost pressures, affordability has become the make-or-break factor for most renters. A precise, competitive pricing strategy is essential. Your agent should be providing detailed market data to support your strategy.

<h3>Finding your home in East London</h3>
<p>The E20 postcode, born in 2011 for the Olympic Park area, has transformed into one of East London's most vibrant spots – and your home could be at the heart of it. Foxtons Build to Rent expert Amie Roberts explains why East London renters love this space:

<blockquote class='pullquote_right'>
<a href='https://www.foxtons.co.uk/buildtorent/coppermaker-square-e20' target='_blank'><img src='https://page-assets.foxtons.co.uk/news-images/2023/05/the-engine-25/480.jpg' alt=''></a><p>“Every time I visit the building, I have a <b>new favourite feature</b>…”
</blockquote>

<p style="margin-left: 45px; margin-right: 45px;"><i>“The E20 postcode was introduced in 2011 to cover the Olympic Park, Olympic stadium and the developments and districts planned to surround it. The freedom of space gave our Build to Rent clients an incredible opportunity to create entire communities within one development. 

<p style="margin-left: 45px; margin-right: 45px;">Coppermaker Square is one of my personal favourites, it has beautiful apartments with truly envious amenities and an incredibly friendly and accommodating onsite team who work hard to continuously impress Residents with their on-site events. 

<p style="margin-left: 45px; margin-right: 45px;">Every time I revisit the building I have a new favourite feature, the pet-spa facilities, the stunning pool in the wellness centre or sound-baths in the yoga studio…

<p style="margin-left: 45px; margin-right: 45px;">Residents join the community from all walks of life. 

<p style="margin-left: 45px; margin-right: 45px;">There are those moving to London new and wanting great transport links to discover the city. Professional sharers who appreciate the generous bedroom sizes and additional communal spaces. Retirees who are looking to downsize to an easier base, international students who study at the nearby UAL and creatives who love the co-working space and nearby cultural attractions at the East Bank in Stratford Cross.”</i>

<h3>East Bank: East London's culture crush</h3>
<p>This neighbourhood has a whole new vibe with loads of exciting things to do, and residents are loving it. Stratford Cross especially, which sits in E20 sits alongside Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. It features the emerging East Bank, which is aiming to rival South Bank with some seriously impressive London institutions:
<p style="margin-left: 25px;"> &#x2022 <b>The Victoria and Albert East</b> – the world-famous V&A is bringing its stunning collections of art, design and performance to E20, opening 31 May 2025 and already creating buzz among design lovers
<p style="margin-left: 25px;"> &#x2022 <b>London College of Fashion UAL and UCL East</b> – two prestigious universities bringing thousands of creative minds, cutting-edge research, and youthful energy right to your doorstep
<p style="margin-left: 25px;"> &#x2022 <b>BBC Music Studios</b> – imagine living where some of Britain's most iconic musicians will rehearse and record live, bringing the heartbeat of the UK music scene to your neighbourhood
<p style="margin-left: 25px;"> &#x2022 <b>Sadlers Wells East</b> – the legendary dance theatre is creating a new offshoot that will transform the performing arts scene in East London
<p>With these cultural powerhouses all in one spot, East Bank isn't just following South Bank's footsteps – it's creating something brilliantly unique for East London. And you could be right at the heart of it all.
