Professional Market Valuation

We will visit your property to provide a considered and accurate market appraisal. During this visit, we will discuss pricing, positioning, and the most effective marketing strategy, along with a clear explanation of our fees and terms.

Preparing Your Home for Viewings

Presentation is key to maximising appeal and value. Carefully preparing your home helps create an immediate emotional connection with buyers. We provide guidance on how best to present your property to ensure it makes a lasting impression.

Marketing Your Property

Once all relevant details and photography have been completed, we will prepare high-quality marketing materials for your approval. Your property will then be promoted through a carefully selected mix of online platforms, property portals, social media and direct communication with suitable buyers from our database.

Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

An Energy Performance Certificate is required before marketing your property. Further details are provided below.

Viewings

Viewings are arranged collaboratively between ourselves and you, ensuring complete flexibility and discretion. They may be conducted by a member of our experienced sales team, by the owner, or jointly, depending on your preference. This tailored approach allows each viewing to be handled in a way that best suits your property and your schedule, while ensuring prospective buyers receive a professional and considered introduction to your home.

Offers and Negotiation

All offers are promptly communicated to you both verbally and in writing. Where appropriate, we will negotiate on your behalf, drawing on our experience to secure the strongest possible terms and price.

Legal Representation

Once an offer is agreed, you should instruct a solicitor or conveyancer to manage the legal process.

Legal Process

We prepare and circulate a memorandum of sale to all parties. Your solicitor will then issue a draft contract, after which the buyer’s solicitor will carry out searches and enquiries until all matters are satisfactorily resolved.

Progressing the Sale

Throughout the process, we remain closely involved, maintaining regular contact with solicitors, buyers, and other agents to ensure momentum is maintained and the transaction progresses smoothly.

Exchange of Contracts

Once all legal work is complete and the buyer’s finances are in place, contracts are signed and formally exchanged.

Completion

Completion takes place when the balance of funds is received and ownership transfers to the buyer. Keys are then handed to us and released to the new owner.

Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs)

An EPC provides information on your property’s energy efficiency, environmental impact, and potential improvements. While marketing may begin before the certificate is ready, it must be available within 28 days and included in all marketing materials. EPCs are carried out by accredited Domestic Energy Assessors and are typically completed within two to three days.

Preparing Your Home for the Market

Exterior Presentation

First impressions are crucial. Consider how your property appears from the street. Lawns should be neatly cut, borders tidy, bins discreetly stored, and entrances clean and inviting.

If driveway space is limited, parking elsewhere during viewings can help create a greater sense of space. Seasonal planting or well-chosen flowers can also add colour and charm.

Interior Presentation

Major renovations are rarely necessary before selling. Instead, focus on presentation and maintenance to reflect the care taken with your home. Light, neutral décor creates a calm, elegant backdrop that appeals to a wide range of buyers.

For viewings, all rooms should be clean and uncluttered, with particular attention paid to kitchens and bathrooms. Subtle fragrance, soft lighting, and a warm atmosphere help create a welcoming and refined feel.

If appropriate, carpets and curtains may benefit from professional cleaning. Removing excess furniture and personal items allows rooms to feel more spacious and enables buyers to imagine the home as their own.
