Home owners choosing January as the month to begin marketing their property with one of Halesowen's most respected estate agency practices, Challinors White & Billingham, stand to receive a boost of up to £200 towards improvements to their new home. 

Challinors White & Billingham is giving home owners up to £200 of Homebase vouchers, depending on the market value of their property, if they instruct the practice to market their property before the 31st January 2012.

Jonathan Cooper, the practice's Estate Agency Manager, comments: "January is traditionally a busy time, with many home owners eager to sell and be in a new home before the summer months. We are introducing this special offer to give our clients an extra boost to help them put their own mark on their new home once they sell, and what better way than with vouchers for DIY and home improvements retailer Homebase!"

In the current market, Jonathan advises home owners to look at ways of making their property stand out from the crowd: "There continues to be a healthy stock of properties available to buyers so the key is taking action to make your property 'stand out from the crowd'. Always ensure it is presented well and is clean and tidy and where possible light and airy and ready for viewings. This kind of attention to detail goes a long way towards making it the one property home buyers feel they have to view and then fall in love with. 

"In addition, savvy home sellers can gain a real competitive edge by understanding the local property market in Halesowen and the surrounding area to ensure their property is priced appropriately for its location and accommodation, and therefore becomes a true and realistic contender for buyers."

He adds: "Interest rates are expected to remain low for 2012, which will help support the property market, so long as locally we can ride out the low levels of mortgage lending."
