Instruct your agent, agree to fees, sign your Agency Agreement, and supply your ID.
Our Selling Timetable
2. Marketing
We will supply a full-colour brochure, with professional photographs, EPC and 3D Floorplans to show your property in the best light. There is also exposure through our branch displays and Internet advertising through Rightmove.
3. Viewings
We will always conduct accompanied viewings on your home. It is a known fact that viewers generally feel more at ease with an agent, rather than the actual owner. Additionally, of course we will establish your potential buyer’s ability to buy and try to obtain an offer or constructive feedback.
4. Offers
Once we have received an offer from a potential purchaser, we will feed this information and their suitability straight back to you.
5. Offers Accepted
If the Offer is acceptable to you, it will then be agreed and we will proceed as follows.
6. Instruct a Solicitor
If you already have a Solicitor, now is the time to speak with them. If you wish us to recommend a Solicitor from our trusted panel of local companies then we will do this for you.
7. Draft Contract
One of the first things your Solicitor will do is draw up a draft contract to be sent to your Purchasers Solicitor and the legal process of conveyancing can be started.
8. Enquiries
Once your purchaser’s Survey results are back, and they have paid for their searches to be done, enquiries will be raised to your Solicitor. Once these have been answered/settled by your Solicitor then the next two stages are the most easily recognised.
9. Exchange
Exchange is when both sets of Solicitors physically exchange signed contracts between both parties, the buyer and the seller. It is at this point that normally a deposit is forwarded to your Solicitor to be held until completion and it is now a legally binding contract.
10. Completion
Completion is when all the monies for your property are paid over to your Solicitor. You will be required to move out and vacate your old property, releasing the keys to your purchaser.
