Guide to Selling

Home Selling Guide to Selling

1. Instruct a professional agency

Choosing the right agency to sell your property is a crucial step in the process. We offer a free no obligation consultation, so as you can make sure we are the right agency for you.

We are honest and clear in our advice, providing you with realistic opinions on value and direction to help you to maximise value.

2. Instruct a solicitor

Having the right people in your team can make all the difference. Finding a solicitor that is experienced and efficient is key to ensuring the sale process is handled with care, speed and professionalism.

Smart move can provide recommendations on which solicitor to use, but we would always recommend our clients to undertake their own research prior to making an appointment.

3. Precise open market valuation

Our commitment is to achieving the maximum result for our clients. That means selling your property at the highest possible price in a time frame that meets your expectations. We work with third party consultants qualified and experienced in the practice of valuation.

Through our knowledge of the market and their expertise, we are able to provide our clients with an extensive knowledge of property values.

4. Professional photography and floorplans

Perfect presentation is essential to a successful sale. We are experienced in assisting you with presenting your property in an attractive manner, offering advice on cosmetic improvements, and de-cluttering in order to make your property appear spacious.

We will compile a comprehensive sales pack including floor plans, professional photography and a detailed dossier of your properties attributes.

5. Marketing and PR

Visibility is key when marketing any property and in order to generate positive levels of interest you need to be sure that your property will benefit from comprehensive marketing and maximum exposure.

Working with Smart Move to sell your property guarantees that you will benefit from a premium marketing package. Our brand new website provides a fantastic platform from which to market your property, along with providing high profile adverts on national and internationally recognised property websites, social media and recognised property press.

6. Accompanied viewings

We accompany all prospective buyers on viewings, ensuring we are on hand to answer any questions they may have, point out key attributes and advise on the local area. We work later during the week and open on weekends to facilitate viewings after office hours and 6 days a week.

7. Receiving an offer

Timing is everything and we realise that agency is urgency. We will inform you as soon as we receive an offer both verbally and in writing. We will also provide our advice as to whether we feel the offer is worth progressing.

We will advise you of and explain any special conditions attached to the offer, as well as ascertaining the prospective purchaser’s ability to proceed.

8. Offer agreed

 Following acceptance of an offer we will;

  • Confirm to all parties in writing the agreed sale price.
  • Prepare a memorandum of sale.
  • Ask you to confirm your solicitors details.

The stages that follow will include your solicitor drafting a contract and sending it to the purchaser’s solicitor. They will arrange and oversee preliminary enquiries, agree survey dates, exchange of contracts and a preliminary date for completion.

Our role throughout the process is to facilitate the sale by continually negotiating and driving the transaction forward on your behalf, ensuring minimal time and complications in completing.

9. Completion

Completion takes place when the residual balance of monies (typically 90%) are transferred from the buyers solicitor to your solicitors account. You will receive confirmation from your solicitor that they are in funds and this will trigger the release of keys.
