1: Preparation:
When deciding to sell property and once you're sure this is the right time, we will be with you every step of the way
Choosing an agent:
The first decision that you will need to make is to select an agent; you will most likely want to get two or three agent's opinions as the market appraisal is crucial to the success of selling your property.
Our appraisers are experienced in the local market and will take account of market conditions and your needs to establish the best marketing price. You will need to consider what kind of marketing your property will receive and how and when the agent will conduct viewings of your property.
The most important aspect you require is someone you will be able to trust and get on with throughout the entire process.
Instruct a solicitor:
When you decide to put your property on the market it is best to instruct your solicitor at the same time, this will give them time to start preparing the necessary paperwork so that they are all set to go as soon as you accept an offer for your property.
Mortgage advice:
If you are looking to buy once you sell, now is the time to start seeking mortgage advice. A broker will be able to advise how much you would be able to borrow and let you know about the current deals available.
2: Marketing:
Software
The software we use to manage our properties automatically ties in with our Website, this enables us to add your property to our database and it is instantly and automatically available on our website (which then automatically makes it available on a number of different avenues).
Website
Our website is constantly updated to ensure that the information is relevant and that it works on all devices. Our website also ties into a number of different social media pages; so we only update our database and it is persisted across a number of different potential sales routes.
Boards
Our boards are unique, prominent and immediately recognisable, even from a distance; they really do stand out from the crowd.
Presentation
Presenting your home to potential purchasers is obviously important and has an effect on price and the speed at which a sale can be achieved. At Jacksons Lettings and Sales we can assist with the decisions on making your home desirable.
Lasting impressions are formed before the buyer even steps into your home. Think objectively about how you can best present your property inside and out to create that all-important first impression.
Viewings
At Jacksons Lettings and Sales we accompany all viewings where possible as we have found that this is the most effective way to achieve a good sale price for your property. Our trained sales negotiators are able to highlight the best features of your property, taking into account the requirements of the viewer and we will also contact you and provide you with feedback after each viewing we conduct.
3: Offers:
Once an offer is received we will contact you to give you as much information as possible so that you can decide whether to accept it or not.
Receiving an Offer:
- All offers will be reported both verbally and in writing.
- All offers will be properly checked.
- If a mortgage is required this will be verified.
- If there is another sale the entire chain details will be checked.
- If more than one offer is received we will advise you what to do.
- We will always act in your best interests.
- We will always try to achieve the best possible price for your home.
- We will match buyers to your property and your requirements.
- We will liaise with you at all times.
4: Completion:
Accepting an Offer:
Once accepted and solicitors instructed we will chase the progress of:
- The purchaser's mortgage application.
- The survey date and its outcome.
- The purchaser's mortgage offer.
- The entire legal process.
- We will liaise with you at all times.
- During this period either party can withdraw from the transaction.
A Binding Sale:
Once the mortgage offer has been confirmed and the contracts have been approved the purchaser is ready to EXCHANGE CONTRACTS (a binding sale). The contract is signed by both parties and the purchaser pays a deposit to their solicitor (usually 5 or 10%). The completion date is agreed at this stage and during this period, we will liaise with you at all times.
