3. Step Three: Instructing your Solicitor
It’s important at this stage to notify your solicitor of your intention to sell. The successful sale of your property is reliant on your solicitor dealing with the legal issues in a timely and efficient manner.
4. Step Four: Precision Marketing

5. Step Five: Presenting your Property
We say, when you are selling your house, the first impression really matters.

The moment a potential buyer walks through the front door of your property, their first impression really does matter, a good first impression is key to selling your property. Recent surveys have shown that 84% of buyers agree, that if they get a good first impression, they more likely to buy the property. The smallest of changes can make a huge difference and they can be done at a relatively small cost in proportion to the increase in value.

We can discuss this at our first meeting and provide you with simple advice on how to get your property in the best possible shape.

6. Step Six: Viewings and Offers
We will conduct viewings at a time that suits you, we can work around your schedule and try to conduct viewings with minimal disruption giving you 24 hours advance notice.

When an offer is made, we will call you directly to discuss it. It is your decision whether or not you want to accept an offer. We will be there to advise you on whether it’s a good offer or whether there might be room to negotiate.

7. Step Seven: Sale Agreed
Once you have accepted an offer, your property will go sale agreed. We will then request a booking deposit from the buyer which is normally between 2% – 5% of the purchase price. This booking deposit is fully refundable up until the point of contracts being exchanged. We will then send you and your solicitor a confirmation sale letter which will outline the agreed purchase price, any conditions of sale, this enables the draft contract to be issued to the buyers solicitor. The estimated signing and closing dates will also be agreed at this stage.

The buyer will also need to organise a structural survey of the property and valuation survey carried out by their own Bank.

8. Step Eight: Exchange of Contracts
The exchange of contracts occurs when the following have been confirmed and agreed:

  • Preliminary enquiries following receipt of draft contract.
  • Evidence of good title.
  • Specific issues highlighted in the Lease, if applicable.
  • Local search queries.
  • Fixtures and fittings to be included in the sale.
  • The buyers mortgage offer.

A binding 10% deposit less the booking fee is then paid to your solicitor when the contracts are exchanged. Once a suitable completion date is agreed and both parties have signed the contract, the remaining 90% of the funds will be transferred to solicitor

Throughout this period, which could take between 6 – 8 weeks, it is a good idea to keep in regular contact with your solicitor to ensure any queries are being handled efficiently.
