Instruction
Once you instruct us to sell your property, we will:
- Create draft sales particulars for your review and approval.
- Arrange professional photographs and floor plan production.
- Market your property across our website, property portals, and window displays.
Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)
By law, most properties require a valid EPC before being marketed. If an EPC is not available within 28 days, all marketing must cease. A valid EPC remains effective for 10 years.
Need assistance with your EPC? We can help arrange it.
Viewings
We offer flexible viewing schedules, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends.
- If certain times are inconvenient, let us know, and we’ll rearrange.
- Many sellers provide a key for convenience, but we always notify you before every viewing.
- All potential buyers are accompanied during viewings, ensuring security and professionalism.
Handling Offers
When an offer is made, we will confirm it both verbally and in writing.
- If you receive multiple offers, we provide expert guidance to help you choose the right buyer, ensuring a smooth transaction at the best price.
- With years of experience, we help you navigate this critical decision-making process.
Offer Accepted
Once you accept an offer, it’s time to instruct your conveyancing lawyer. If you don’t have one, we can recommend trusted professionals.
- We notify all parties, including solicitors for both the vendor and purchaser.
- Future marketing plans are discussed; allowing viewings for a potential reserve buyer is often wise.
- We actively progress the sale, keeping you informed at every stage.
Exchange of Contracts
At this stage:
- The purchaser’s solicitor finalizes all enquiries and obtains the mortgage offer (if applicable).
- Both parties sign their contracts, and the buyer transfers a 10% deposit to their conveyancer.
- Contracts are exchanged, making the sale legally binding.
Completion
On the completion day:
- The purchaser’s conveyancer sends the remaining balance to your solicitor.
- Once funds are confirmed, we release the keys to the buyer.
