Your Comprehensive Guide to Selling a Property in the UK with Highwood Estates
Step 1: Property Valuation
Highwood Estates begins the selling process with a thorough property valuation. We provide both a marketing price and a realistic price we expect to achieve. Our objective is to fetch the highest possible price within your desired timeframe. We also discuss the selling process, our fees, and our marketing strategy, showing you comparable properties we’ve sold to validate our valuation.
Step 2: Marketing Your Property
Upon your instruction, we’ll prepare an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) and arrange for professional photography and a detailed floor plan. These form the basis of our compelling marketing materials. We’ll provide you an opportunity to review and approve these before your property is listed on various platforms and shared with prospective buyers.
Step 3: Instructing A Solicitor
The success of your property sale can rely heavily on the efficiency of a solicitor well-versed in conveyance and with a good understanding of the local area. We recommend choosing a solicitor before listing your property. Highwood Estates can provide recommendations to ensure a smooth transaction.
Step 4: Preparing Your Property For Viewings
First impressions are vital. Ensure your property is tidy and well-lit. Address any minor issues beforehand. Highwood Estates team is on hand to offer advice and suggestions for presenting your property in the best light.
Step 5: Sales Viewings
Our experience shows that viewers often prefer to view a property without the owner present. A member of our sales team will always accompany prospective buyers, arranging viewings at times convenient for you. After each viewing, we provide feedback via email or phone call.
Step 6: Receiving And Negotiating An Offer
Upon receiving an offer, Highwood Estates communicates it to you in writing, along with any specific conditions. We also verify the buyer’s ability to proceed by examining their buying position and financial situation. Our expertise allows us to negotiate effectively, often achieving a higher sale figure and agreeing on a completion date that suits your requirements.
Step 7: Exchange Of Contracts
Once the buyers’ financial arrangements are confirmed and all inquiries are satisfied, contracts are signed, and a completion date is agreed upon. The solicitors then exchange contracts, and your sale becomes legally binding.
Step 8: Completion Day
Completion occurs when the remaining funds are transferred from the buyer’s solicitor to yours. You’ll be informed once the transaction is complete, and at this stage, your keys can be released to the buyer. Congratulations, you’ve successfully sold your property!
