Selling your property can feel like a big step, but understanding the process makes everything easier. Our selling timeline explains the key stages, from valuation and marketing through to offers, conveyancing, exchange and completion.
Instruct your agent, agree to fees, sign your Agency Agreement, and supply your ID.
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.
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.
Once we have received an offer from a potential purchaser, we will feed this information and their suitability straight back to you.
If the Offer is acceptable to you, it will then be agreed and we will proceed as follows.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
It is worth noting that we have a full sales progression system in place.
We will be with you every step of the way right through to completion of your property. Our service standards will ensure that we assist you. This is sometimes where other agents fall down and as a consequence sometimes sales can fall through.
Because we have such a wealth of experience of not just property but the financial/mortgage/legal conveyancing processes, we will guide your sale through to a swift and satisfactory conclusion.
We rely on repeat business and satisfied customer referrals and your satisfaction is of utmost importance to us.
From your initial valuation to handing over the keys, we’ll guide you through each stage of the selling process with clear advice and support along the way.
1. A completion date is agreed through solicitors, yourselves and the purchasers.
2. Upon completion the outstanding balance is transferred into your solicitors account.
3. Once all monies have reached your bank account you will be advised of completion and keys are exchanged.
