So You Want To Sell
Your Brighton Home?
Are you a home owner in Brighton and Hove who is thinking of selling? If so, we've got good news - there is always someone who will want to buy it!
Whatever level of the property market it’s in, which part of
the city it's located, even the condition of the building itself - buyers come
in all shapes and sizes. The demand in Brighton is always high and covers all
bases.
There are those who are able to pay top of the range prices
and want to move straight into a high-spec living environment. Then at the
other end of the spectrum there is the classic doer upper ready for someone
looking to take on a challenge and restore a home to its former glory.
Essentially, there are buyers out there who are looking for a home in Brighton and Hove that is exactly like yours.
At Maslen Estate Agents we cover all of Brighton and Hove from our office located on one of the city's main central thoroughfares. We help people across the entire range of our local property market and that's why we know there can never be a 'one size fits all' approach to selling homes.
Why are you selling?
People want to sell homes for many different reasons. A growing family that needs more space, empty nesters who are thinking of downsizing, people moving to a new area for a change in job, or others who may have inherited a property that now lies empty.
These examples alone show how each seller requires a personal approach and it's by no means a definitive a list.
A problem that often crops up is that the larger 'brand name' chain estate agents treat everyone the same - but not in a good way! For them it's all about fitting YOU into THEIR check-boxes, working to a format laid out by central office that must always be adhered to.
Even smaller agents that have been bought out by a chain and might still act under their old name operate in the same way, because they have to. The ONLY estate agents that give you a bespoke, personalised service are the truly independent ones - and that's what we are and what we do.
What's it worth?
Everyone wants to know how much their home is worth even if
they're not thinking of selling it. But when you do decide to put your property
on the market getting the price right is of key importance when it comes to
achieving a sale.
You might think that you can initially take a gamble and put it on for a slightly inflated price just to test the waters. Take it from someone who knows, it just doesn't work like that.
For one thing, an asking price that is too high will put off potential buyers who might otherwise be good for you. Another is that if you have to reduce the price after a few months your home has become 'stale' because it's already been on the market for so long.
A further complication is that some estate agents might tell you what they think you want to hear and give you an inflated valuation and unrealistic expectations. They might simply need your business because they don't sell enough property - and now you know why they don't!
So how do you get the right market assessment? The only way to be sure is to ask an independent local estate agent who knows the area and has a successful track record of sales.
Again, that's us...
The Rightmove data from February 2026 shows that year on year we have been the first placed estate agents for 'sales agreed' in the following 13 postcodes: BN1 1, BN1 2, BN1 3, BN1 4, BN1 5, BN1 7, BN1 9, BN2 0, BN2 3, BN2 4, BN2 5, BN2 6 and BN2 9.
That 'first place' is out of more than 120 other estate agent offices.
Perhaps the single most important thing a seller wants to know is that we attained 98.76% of final asking prices*.
It all comes down to experience, skills and local knowledge that has been built up over more than a quarter of a century.
If you'd like to know more call 01273 677 001, email [email protected] or come into our office at 39 Lewes Rd BN2 3HQ to meet us in person. We'd love to help you.
