It is always important to make an informed decision before putting your property onto the market - as you need to know exactly:

• Market size : how many competing transactions have historically taken place and will be taking place around your property during your marketing period,
• Correct pricing : what the average price achieved has been during the last quarter and year and what the correct price will be to put your property onto the market - to be able to compete effectively with all the other properties in the specific area and price range.
