Thinking of Selling Your Home in Flitwick, Ampthill, Barton-le-Clay, Luton or the Surrounding Villages?

When it comes to selling your home in Bedfordshire, there’s no shortage of advice – but much of it is based on myths, guesswork, or old wives’ tales. Friends and family may mean well, but when it comes to property, you need guidance from local experts who understand the market inside out.

At Love Homes, our experienced team has helped hundreds of sellers across Flitwick, Ampthill, Barton-le-Clay, Luton and the surrounding villages achieve the best possible results. We’re here to cut through the noise and give you clear, professional advice that actually helps you move.

Below, we’ve highlighted some of the most common home-selling myths – and why you shouldn’t believe them.

 

7 Common Myths About Selling Your Home

1. Overpricing Your Home Gets You a Better Offer
Overpricing usually backfires. Buyers search in set price ranges, and if your property is inflated, it risks being overlooked and sitting on the market longer. A fair, realistic valuation helps attract serious buyers quickly and can even spark competition.

2. A Quick Offer Means You Priced Too Low
Not true! Often, buyers have been waiting for a property just like yours. A fast offer usually means your home has been priced correctly and is highly desirable.

3. A Better Offer Will Come if You Wait
Timing is everything. The first buyer might be the right buyer. Waiting unnecessarily can lead to lost opportunities.

4. The Cheapest Estate Agent is the Best
Low fees don’t guarantee the best service. A good agent supports you every step of the way, from marketing to negotiation – often making you more money in the long run.

5. Major Renovations Always Pay Off
Not every buyer wants (or values) big renovations like conservatories or pools. Focus on improvements that make your home attractive and well-presented rather than costly additions.

6. Don’t Bother Fixing Anything Before You Sell
Small improvements like tidying the garden, fixing broken items, and refreshing décor can boost your home’s appeal and increase offers.

7. Online Valuations Are Always Accurate
Online tools are helpful but can’t replace local expertise. They don’t factor in condition, improvements, or unique features. A professional, in-person valuation is always best.
