The Valuation
Free market valuationWe will visit your home initially to assess its true market value based on comparable evidence and market conditions determining a realistic selling price. We will confirm our proposed market valuation figure verbally and in writing to you.
Explanation of sales contract
We will explain our sales contract, making you aware of the fee we will charge for selling your property and of our obligations to you, giving you the time to consider our proposition.
Obtaining property details
Once you have instructed us to proceed with the marketing of your property, we will make a detailed assessment of your property so that we can present your home in the best possible way. This will include taking photographs, room dimensions, floor plans and recording any special features.
Since 14 December 2007 every home put on the market, no matter what size, must have a Home Information Pack. It brings together valuable information at the start of the process - such as a sale statement, local searches and evidence of title - which could save you money, time and stress. The Pack also includes an Energy Performance Certificate that contains advice on how to cut CO2 emissions and fuel bills.
HIPs provide key information needed by buyers and sellers at the very start of the home-buying process, making transactions more efficient and less likely to fall through between offer and exchange. HIP documents give consumers a clear, up front picture of what they are buying and selling. We can assist you in arranging a HIP by instructing one of our many registered HIP Providers, whom we have negotiated discounts with for our clients. Provided that the pack has been requested in writing (and is accompanied by the appropriate payment or an undertaking to make the payment) and it is expected to become available within 28 days - we can start to market your property immediately.
