The most important bit of advice for selling privately are the 3 P's Price, price it correctly and on a Rightmove price bracket, never list a property not on a price bracket. Presentation, Ensure your home is market ready, never list with jobs not completed or need doing (if an agent tells you its fine, it's not and they just want the instruction). Promotion, Make sure the agent is on Rightmove and Zoopla, if they are not on both or not included in the fee that you are paying don't use them, your initial 6 weeks of marketing are the key to both selling and getting a good price.
