Ready to Sell in Time for Easter? A Seller’s Spring Checklist
With Easter just around the corner, now is a strategic moment to prepare your home for market before buyer demand peaks and properties begin to move at their fastest.
As we move into early 2026, the UK housing market is showing clear signs of renewed momentum following a quieter end to 2025. Recent transaction figures indicate residential activity is picking up, with the highest monthly sales volumes recorded since March last year, a clear sign that buyers are returning to viewings and agreeing sales again.
For sellers, timing matters. Launching your property by Easter positions it in front of motivated spring buyers, benefits from longer daylight hours for viewings and allows you to capitalise on one of the strongest seasonal windows of the year.
A Back-to-Basics Timeline
To hit an Easter 2026 launch date, here’s a practical timeline many successful sellers follow:
Now – Mid-February
✔ Agree your selling strategy
✔ Obtain a market price assessment informed by accurate local data
✔ Order floorplans, EPC and arrange photography and videography on a bright, clear and sunny day
Late February – Early March
✔ Review and approve marketing materials
✔ Final preparation including decluttering, repairs and staging where appropriate
Mid-March – Easter
✔ Launch your property to our exclusive database and social media channels, followed by the major property portals and property websites
✔ Agree a marketing review date and an accompanied viewing strategy
Preparing early avoids last-minute pressure and allows you to take full advantage of peak seasonal demand.
Why Presentation and Pricing Still Count
Homes that sell quickly tend to be accurately priced and professionally presented. Overpricing can cause a property to stagnate and the longer a listing remains on the market, the fewer fresh buyers it attracts, often leading to reduced offers or extended marketing periods. Current market insight continues to show that properties launched at the right price, supported by expert local knowledge and factual comparable evidence rather than generic online estimates, achieve faster sales and stronger outcomes.
