Finding an Estate Agent is relatively an easy process, however finding the right estate agency that will help you achieve a fast property sale for the best current market value of your home is a different matter altogether.
Here are some questions that’s you should ask any possible estate agent:

- What percentage of houses do they sell compared with the number they have on the market?
- What type of houses do they have on the market?
- How long does it take for them to achieve a sale?

Once you have selected us as your Estate Agent, we strongly advise that you instruct a Solicitor or a Licensed Conveyancer, either of which can support you with the sale of your Property. If you would like we can recommend a Solicitor to you.
The Legal advisor acting for you will be able to ensure that any queries a prospective buyer may have can be addressed ensuring a swift sale of your home. In certain instances, your Solicitor may highlight possible delays in respect of your title, a restrictive covenant, a charge on your property and it may be prudent to resolve any of these issues at the early stages so that once a Buyer is found there are no outstanding issues to delay matters from your side.
Your Solicitor, will be able to liaise and deal with any lenders you may have, and as such work directly with you making sure that a completion date is set to correspond with a date that is suitable to both parties.

Even if you accept the offer, we will continuously follow up the Buyer and their Solicitor and Financial advisors, ensuring that we get to a speedy exchange of contracts and completion.
Once you have accepted the Offer on your Property, we will prepare and send out a Memorandum of sale to all parties concerned, setting out the agreed price together with any special conditions. A copy of which will go to both sets of solicitors acting for the Seller and the Buyer.
Once preliminary enquiries have taken place and the Buyers Solicitor is satisfied with the replies to Sellers Enquiries and reply to searches and requisitions and is in receipt of a Mortgage Offer then the Buyers Solicitors can agree a date to exchange contracts.
Exchange of contracts is a Legal Agreement that binds the Seller and the Buyer and upon signing the Buyer will normally pay a deposit and a completion date will be set to a mutually agreeable date.
Completion is when the balance of monies is received by the Sellers Solicitors. Your solicitor will then contact you once he has received the monies and will inform you to release the keys.
