If you’re ready to sell your home here is a step-by-step guide going through the whole process of selling a house and what to expect.

Selling your home is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make in your life therefore you want to make sure you get it right first time.

Step 1: Valuation

Choose the right agent. We advise you book a few different agents to come and value your property, make sure you do your research on these agents before-hand,

getting a few different agents to come and value your home can give you more of an idea on who would be better to sell your home.

Step 2: Choose your agent

Make sure you weigh up your options when choosing an agent.

I would be aware If an agent takes 20 minutes or less to negotiate a fee they are probably not doing their job properly. Establish the values of the company with your values.

Step 3: Market

Viewings are the key to selling a property. If someone wants to buy your home without viewing the property, different agents carry out different ways of viewings.

We carry out viewings when the owners aren’t in the property, this helps the viewers be able to view the property like it’s there’s. It will also affect the sale of your home!

Step 4: Offer

Once you have accepted it can take up to 10-12 weeks to exchange and completion. You will have plenty of paperwork to do and enquiries to answer.

We advise you that you answer enquires straight away, this will prevent the sale slowing down and aggravating the buyer.

Step 5: Exchange & completion

Exchange is when you exchange contracts to legally complete on your home. This is usually on an average of 5 days between exchange and completion; however,

it is completely up to you. It can sometimes be on the same day. Once solicitors has confirmed completion buyers will be able to collect their keys from their estate agents.
