Getting the price right from the start is crucial. Begin with a professional property valuation in Cardiff from an experienced estate agent like Fortis.
Our valuers analyse:
Recent sales of similar homes
Current Cardiff housing market trends
Your property’s size, condition, and unique features
This ensures your property is priced competitively to attract buyers while achieving the best possible selling price.
In most cases—yes. Tackling obvious issues can increase your home’s appeal and potential value.
The best improvements to make before selling include:
Fixing leaks
Repainting walls in neutral colours
Replacing broken fixtures, fittings, or panes of glass
Focus on changes that offer a strong return on investment and improve first impressions.
The average time to sell depends on:
Your specific area within Cardiff
Current demand and market conditions
Your home’s price point and condition
While some properties sell within weeks, others may take several months. Our team can give you an accurate estimate based on current Cardiff market data.
Traditionally, spring and early summer are the busiest and most successful selling periods. Late summer and the Christmas period tend to be slower.
However, the right time to sell also depends on your personal circumstances and the local market.

While you can sell privately, using an experienced Cardiff estate agent like Fortis provides major benefits:
Accurate pricing
High-quality marketing
Vetting potential buyers
Professional negotiations
Guidance through legal processes
This support often leads to a faster sale and a higher selling price.
Presentation is everything when selling a property. Before viewings, make sure to:
Declutter and deep clean
Add simple staging touches (fresh throws, flowers, lighting)
Improve kerb appeal by tidying the garden, entrance and driveway
A well-presented home helps buyers imagine themselves living there—often resulting in stronger offers.
Be aware of the following expenses:
Estate agent fees
Conveyancing or solicitor fees
Potential mortgage exit fees
EPC (Energy Performance Certificate)
Removal and moving costs
At Fortis, we explain all expected costs upfront so you can plan confidently.
Not always. Every offer should be discussed with your estate agent. We’ll assess:
Whether the offer reflects current market conditions
The buyer’s position (chain-free, cash buyer, mortgage approved, etc.)
Your personal timeline and goals
Sometimes waiting can secure a considerably better price.
To sell a property in the UK, you’ll need:
An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate)
Title deeds
Completed TA6 Property Information Form
Additional transaction forms handled by your solicitor
Hiring an experienced conveyancer is essential to ensure a smooth, compliant sale.
Small improvements can have a big impact. Boost your home’s appeal by:
Creating a bright, clean, welcoming atmosphere
Refreshing décor with new paint or modern fixtures
Highlighting key features such as garden space, parking, or storage
Buyers are drawn to homes that feel well-maintained and move-in ready.
Selling a property is a major decision, but with the right support, it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. At Fortis, we provide accurate valuations, expert advice, and a clear marketing strategy to help you achieve the best possible result.
