Valuation & Home Report
- One of our experienced estate agents will carry out a free, no-obligation valuation to give you an idea of your property’s value in the current market. This will involve meeting at the property to look around and researching comparable sales in the area.
- Our estate agents are experts in the field and may also give you some tips on what you can do to make your property more attractive.
- A Home Report is a legal requirement when selling your home and allows buyers to know exactly what they are buying.
- We work closely with surveyors and will arrange for the Home Report survey to take place.
Photos
- Our professional photographer will attend the property to capture some images/videos which will show-off your home online and in brochures
- It is important that your home is picture-ready and we will happily provide you with some helpful tips if required.
Marketing
Your property will be advertised on our website, as well as social media, the ESPC, Rightmove, Zoopla and On The Market
Offers
- You should soon begin to receive offers on your property. Whilst price is usually the most important, sometimes the date of entry suggested or the buyer’s position may outweigh price, depending on your situation. Our estate agents are there to talk you through each offer and give you advice, but ultimately it is your decision whether to accept an offer or not.
- When there is a lot of interest on a property, you may wish to set a Closing Date. This is a “full and final” offers situation where all interested buyers are encouraged to submit their best offers before a predetermined date/time.
Conveyancing
- After you have accepted an offer, your solicitor will discuss with you and then issue a formal Qualified Acceptance. The Missives will continue to be progressed in this manner back and forth with the buyer’s solicitor.
- Once your Missives are concluded, you are in a legally binding contract and cannot withdraw from the sale.
- Post-settlement, the seller’s solicitor will submit paperwork to the Registers of Scotland to legally change the property title.
