Understand and appraise
We start with the property and your circumstances. A visit and discussion help establish its character, condition, extent and likely audience. We review the evidence relevant to pricing and discuss the method of sale, proposed marketing and your preferred timing.
The instruction should identify the services to be provided, fees and agreed outlays. Appoint your solicitor early so that the legal preparation can begin alongside the marketing preparation.
Prepare and launch
We gather accurate particulars, arrange the agreed presentation and confirm how enquiries and viewings will be managed. A valid BER is generally required for sales advertising unless a recognised exemption applies; it is sensible to establish the position before launch.
You and your advisers should raise known matters affecting the property early. Where information remains outstanding, the description must make that clear rather than filling gaps with assumptions.
Viewings, feedback and offers
Interest needs to be assessed in context. We discuss viewing feedback and the terms of offers with you, including proposed timing and any conditions. An offer’s amount matters, but so does the buyer’s position and the practicality of the proposed transaction.
The decision to accept an offer remains yours. We pass on the information needed to consider it and communicate the agreed position to the parties involved.
Sale agreed, contracts and closing
Sale agreed is a stage in the process, not confirmation of a completed sale. The solicitors deal with contracts, title enquiries and the legal arrangements for closing. We remain involved in the agency aspects of progression and help keep practical questions moving.
Your solicitor confirms when the transaction becomes binding and when completion and release of keys may take place. Dates remain subject to the actual progress of the legal and financial work.
Your questions, answered.
How long will the sale take?
There is no reliable single timescale for every property. Title, planning, finance and the parties’ circumstances can all affect progress. We discuss the known factors rather than promise a completion date.
What happens if a buyer withdraws?
We review the position with you and your solicitor, update the marketing status accurately and agree the next step.
