Selling Advice
One of the most important steps when selling your property is getting a realistic valuation. We will try and achieve the best possible price for you whilst taking the stress out of the sales process. We will examine your property and carry out a valuation however we will also find out your expectations, your intentions and priorities and the time scale you envisage. The more we know the more satisfactory we can make the sale process for you. It is important to choose an agent that you feel you can trust. If you choose London Residential as your agent we will explain how we work and how to get the best outcome from the sale and give you all the information upfront. Proceeding to sale we will take professional photos, prepare a floor plan and write a description. We will advertise on our web site and also other property portals. ‘Link to where we advertise’. Specialising in the area we will also send the information to all our registered applicants. If you prefer keeping a low profile we may still be able to achieve a sale with a reduced level of publicity. We have sold many properties in this way.
We recommend that you instruct a solicitor once you decide to put your house on the market this may save time once we have found a buyer that makes an acceptable offer. We can offer recommendations if required. When an offer is made we will present it to you in writing and represent your interest in obtaining the best possible price. We will define a timeline and proceed to exchange of contracts and completion. Once you accept an offer we will write to all parties confirming the agreed price and ask for your solicitors details. Throughout the latter stages we are the intermediaries between all parties. This is where sometimes problems may arise and at this point you will truly appreciate the skill and experience we can bring to the table.
Exchange of contracts occurs when preliminary enquiries following receipt of draft contracts have been answered, evidence of good title is obtained, buyers have applied for local search enquiries, the fixtures and fittings form has been completed and the buyers mortgage offer is issued. Once this is done both parties may sign the contracts. At this point you will be in a position to ‘exchange contracts’ and the deposit ( normally 10%) is transferred from the buyers solicitor to your solicitor. At this point a completion date is set by mutual agreement.
CONGRATULATIONS! Your property is now sold. You are ready for a new chapter in life. When you complete the residual monies (usually 90%) are transferred from the buyers account to your solicitors account. Once the money has cleared we will arrange a convenient time for the buyers to pick up the keys.
