1. Buyer demand increases

The warmer Spring months with lighter, brighter days tend to be more appealing for property hunting than the heat of the Summer or the freezing cold of the Winter. With an increase in demand for properties, it makes sense for sellers to take advantage of the selling opportunities and put a property on the market.

2. Schooling

A lot of families want to have their children in certain school catchments in readiness for the new term.

3. Kerb appeal

The lighter, brighter days of spring can significantly help to boost the kerb appeal of properties. The days tend not to be as dark and dreary as they can be during the heart of winter (bar the occasional weather decline!) and better natural light helps improve the exterior view of properties. For example, it can bring out the natural colour of stone or bricks or make architectural features look better.

4. Spring naturally aids internal photography 

In the same way that improved natural light aids exterior kerb appeal, so too will it help aid the interior photography of your property. Good photos are a key element of successfully selling your property and it definitely makes a difference when there’s better natural light in which to take them. They’ll be less time-consuming editing involved to get them up to scratch and, in theory, it could be quicker for your agent to get your property listed.

5. It's better weather for moving

On a practical note, for those that are thinking of moving, Spring is a more appealing time to do so. The weather tends to be a lot more appealing with longer days and shorter nights.

If you’re thinking of selling your property to take advantage of the Spring boost in sales, don’t forget to get your property looking its best first. A good spring clean can freshen up your interior and a quick lick of fresh paint on your front door can make the world of difference and improve the look and feel of your property – those first impressions really count!
