If you’re planning to sell up in Wolverhampton, don’t leave it all to luck. House prices in the city have been stable despite wider market uncertainty, and buyers are still active – but they’re looking for value and presentation.

Whether you’re in Tettenhall, Penn, Wednesfield or Whitmore Reans, these five simple steps can help you boost your asking price and sell quicker.

Before you price your property, take a look at similar listings in your area on Rightmove, Zoopla and local estate agent sites. Check what’s just come on, what’s gone under offer and what’s been reduced.

Once you’ve got a sense of where you stand, it’s worth getting a proper valuation. Purplebricks offers quick, free valuations from local West Midlands experts who know the patch street by street.

That first impression counts, whether it’s a semi in Bushbury or a terrace near Chapel Ash. Clean the front path, sweep away any leaves, and add a few potted plants to give it a fresh feel. GardeningExpress has budget-friendly bundles to brighten up small spaces.

A coat of paint on the front door can do wonders too – Dulux has a guide to help you pick a standout colour.

Buyers in the West Midlands love homes that feel bright and roomy. Open the curtains, give everything a good clean, and move out any oversized furniture.

If you’ve got too much stuff to hide, short-term storage with Safestore can help get it out of the way while your home is on the market.

Feeling like your place needs a style boost? A few new lamps, cushions or curtains from Dunelm can freshen things up without much effort.

You’ll need a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) before you can sell. If yours is out of date, you can book a new one at EnergyPerformanceCertificates.co.uk.

Also pull together any guarantees or receipts for new boilers, windows or kitchen fittings. It gives buyers confidence – and can help your home stand out.

The city’s market moves quickly and varies from street to street – so pricing it right is key.

Purplebricks is one of the best-known names in online estate agency, but others like Yopa also offer fixed-fee listings and local experts. It’s worth comparing what you get before deciding who to go with.

Wolverhampton’s property market is steady, but presentation, price and paperwork are still key to getting sold quickly.
