MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION
Preparing your property for the market
A fresh coat of paint can make a world of difference for the internal aspects of a property and can also be relatively inexpensive. Neutral colours are usually best. “Spring-cleaning” the interior of the property by tidying and removing clutter from each room can create a fresh atmosphere for viewings and show off the space that exists.
Loose door handles? Dripping taps? Scuffed paint? Fixing the small jobs is vitally important to show your attention to detail. Present your property at its best whilst always remembering that it is a working household at the same time.
WHAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU
Viewings
Before we place your property to the market we will discuss what works best for you with regards to viewings and whether an open day is preferred so that all your viewings are completed in one day.
Open viewings are extremely popular as they minimise the interruption to your busy lives
A representive will accompany all your viewings so you can vacate your property safe in the knowledge that they are being handled by a professional.
Helping you to make the right decision
Receiving offers
We will discuss all aspects of the purchasers with you, such as current buying position, mortgages and time frames. All of this information will help you make an informed decision on the buyer that you will eventually proceed with. We will advise and guide you along the way, remembering that the final decision can only be yours.
Securing the sale of your property
Sale Agreed
Monitoring the progress of the sale is vitally important to avoid any unnecessary delays. It is also imperative to keep all relevant parties updated, so they understand the transaction and can act upon information.
Our experience when liaising with other professionals such as solicitors and surveyors means that the chances of success are higher than average.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Selling a House
We’ve compiled a list of the most common questions when selling a property. For further expert advice, talk to us.
How much does it cost to sell a house? + -
When you sell a house through us, you won't pay us any agency fee until you complete the sale. We are open and honest about what we charge, with no hidden fees. When selling your home, there are other costs to consider — solicitor’s fees, moving fees, any tax you may be liable for.
How do I get my home ready to view? + -

How long does it take to sell your house? + -
The average time from when a property goes up for sale to when an offer is accepted is around 2 weeks — but it can vary dramatically. Our expert valuations ensure that your asking price is realistic and your property sells for the best price possible.
What if I want to sell my house quickly? + -
If you’re trying to sell your home in a hurry, then the right price point and proper marketing are the best way to get there. We can get your property on the market quickly and make it clear that you’re a motivated seller.
How do I find the market value of my house? + -
We offer a number of different ways for you to value your home. Our instant valuation uses some basic information about your home to give you a quick estimate. But if you want a more accurate idea of the market value of your home, it’s always good to have an in-person valuation. We offer valuations with a property expert for free, with no obligation to sell with us.
How can I add value to a house? + -
Improving the core features of a property is always a safe bet. A solid roof, a new boiler and a modern kitchen or bathroom will save a buyer money in the long-run. Decorating is also a cost-effective way to make your home feel fresh and modern and add value during the sale process
Do I need a solicitor to sell a house? + -
The amount of legal jargon and paperwork to go through can be a lot to take in and, without a solicitor, you’re at risk of missing crucial checks and searches. a solicitor protects your interests throughout the sale and can help with any negotiations that come up.
Do I have to pay stamp duty when selling a house? + -
No. Stamp duty is only for buyers, however if you are buying and selling then your most consider the costs of buying your new property when selling your current home.
How much tax do you pay when you sell your house? + -
if you’re selling your only property (or your main home), you won’t pay any capital gains tax on the profits of the sale. If it’s a second home or you’re a landlord, you’re likely to have to pay capital gains. These taxes aren’t on the entire cost of the property, but on any gains it’s made since you bought it. Always check with a professional to ensure that you are paying the correct taxes for your sale.
