Thinking of selling your home this summer?
Whether you're based in Reading, Woodley, Lower Earley, Tilehurst - or any of the beautiful surrounding villages - there are a few key things you should know before putting your home on the market. A smart approach now can make all the difference in getting the result you want.
Selling Smart: It’s Not About Speed, It’s About Strategy
- Maybe you’ve been planning this move for a while.
- Maybe the idea of being settled into your next home by autumn now makes perfect sense.
Whatever your motivation, if you're looking to sell in Reading or nearby locations like Earley, Spencers Wood or Theale, remember: Selling well isn’t about moving fast - it’s about making the right moves first.
The difference between sitting unsold and securing a strong offer usually comes down to the decisions made before the sign goes up.
Summer: More Than Just a Season - It's a Feeling
- Summer lets your home shine.
- Longer evenings, natural light flooding through windows, gardens at their best. Viewers step outside and start picturing their summers in your home.
That’s not just a viewing - that’s a connection. And when people can imagine the next chapter of their life before they've even made an offer, things start to move.
But price it too high? That moment passes. Viewings dip. The home lingers. Suddenly you’re looking at price drops just as autumn approaches.
It’s like trying to sell a summer dress in September.
Selling a Flat? Same Season, Different Story
If you're selling a flat or leasehold property in areas like central Reading, Winnersh or Calcot, it’s not harder - it just needs a tailored approach.
Buyers may be first-time movers, downsizers or professionals relocating. They'll have questions about lease length, service charges and mortgage requirements.
That’s where we come in - getting ahead of the detail and guiding the process with confidence.
Don’t Just List - Launch With Real Demand
At WhiteKnights, we don’t just list and wait.
We use advanced AI-matching to connect your property with buyers already searching in a chosen location, whether that be as broad as anywhere in Reading, or a niche as Twyford, Swallowfield or Mortimer etc.
Not browsers. Not daydreamers.
Real people, ready to move.
Your home goes direct to them - before it even appears on the portals.
Cheap Fees. Expensive Mistakes.
When it comes to choosing an agent, lowest fee doesn’t mean best value.
If someone’s quick to slash their own commission, what happens when a buyer wants money off the price of your home?
Saving £500 on a fee can feel smart - until you lose £5,000 on your sale.
The best agents don’t just upload and forget.
They pitch. They present. They prep.
And they negotiate - with backbone.
Before You List, Look at Their Listings
Not all agents are the same - and neither is their marketing.
- Do their photos stop the scroll?
- Do their listings tell a story, or just tick boxes?
- Do they sell what it feels like to live there - or just list what’s in it?
And most importantly - do they have a plan beyond Rightmove?
With WhiteKnights' Heads-Up Property Alerts, we already know who’s actively looking in your area - from Purley on Thames to Riseley, Hurst to Pangbourne.
Your home is seen first. Not forgotten on page three.
