Selling a property involves multiple stages, each requiring careful planning and expert oversight. Our structured approach ensures you understand the process, feel confident in your decisions and achieve the best possible result. Below is our step-by-step guide to selling your property.
Preparing Your Home for the Market
First impressions matter. Addressing minor maintenance issues, refreshing décor and presenting your property well can significantly improve buyer interest. An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is required before marketing and remains valid for ten years.
Choosing the Right Estate Agent
Selecting an experienced agent with strong local knowledge is key to a successful sale. Look for proven results, professional marketing and clear communication all of which are central to our approach.
Marketing & Viewings
Once your property is live, we manage enquiries, arrange viewings and provide regular feedback. Our goal is to generate strong interest while keeping you fully informed.
Receiving & Negotiating Offers
We present all offers clearly and professionally, advising you on price, buyer position and timescales. Chain-free or cash buyers may offer faster progression, even if price differences are small.
Accepting an Offer
Once an offer is accepted, we issue a Memorandum of Sale and liaise with solicitors to begin the legal process.
Conveyancing Process
Your solicitor will handle contracts, enquiries and searches, while the buyer’s lender arranges valuation and surveys. We stay closely involved to ensure communication remains clear and progress continues.
Exchange of Contracts
Contracts are exchanged once all enquiries are satisfied. A deposit (usually 10%) is paid, making the transaction legally binding.
Completion
On completion day, remaining funds are transferred and ownership passes to the buyer. Once keys are released, the sale is complete.
