LEGAL ADVICE

Once you decide to sell your property, choosing the right solicitor in advance can help you save time, money and in some cases, your sale. We can offer recommendations if required.
Instruct a solicitor at the same time as you put your property on the market. Your solicitor can then apply for the title deeds at an early stage, avoiding delays when we receive an offer. Choose a local solicitor who works with your local council and specializes in conveyancing, these will aid a faster selling process and ensure everything goes more smoothly. Always return documents to your solicitor promptly and try to stay as actively involved as you can in the conveyancing process.

We’ve prepared a checklist of useful tips designed to deliver better viewings when selling a property:

Do tidy up before a viewing
Do let the viewer have freedom to wander around your property and don't follow potential buyers around
Do answer questions at the end – it’s a good idea to think about what might be asked and prepare your answers

BREAKING THE CHAIN

After surveys and local authority searches, chains are the main cause of delays and hiccups in any property sale. What's more, the longer the chain, the greater the potential for problems. Anything you can do to limit the problems caused by a chain of sellers can help you sell more quickly, easily and occasionally at a better price. If you haven't got your next property lined up, we recommend that you consider an alternative option such as renting. That way, you're in the strongest possible position to take advantage of the best offer.
