Selling a property

Once you have a guide as to how much you are likely to achieve, depending on your financial needs, the next step will be to look into your finances for any onward purchase. How much mortgage will I need? How much will it cost me monthly? Any forward purchase will depend on the outcome of these first 2 steps, so it is vitally important to collate all the facts before marketing your home.

Now you have all the information you need to bring the property to the market.
Whilst your preparation for marketing is taking place, Sillars can be preparing the property particulars, ordering the energy performance certificate, creating the floor plans and the virtual tour. For you as the seller, showing your home as best you can is important. If you have any small jobs you wish to finish before marketing, get them done. Prepare your home for viewings as best you can, first impressions do count.

Sounds like an odd question maybe, but we at Sillars are very keen to make sure you are happy at all stages as we are both working towards the same thing, selling your home. Are you happy with the photos? Is there anything you would like us to re-word in the description for your house? Make sure that it you have any concerns you let us know, any questions, give us a call, we will happily go through as much or as little as you want us to.

As our agents, we are constantly looking to provide you with honest feedback, not just from viewers, but from the market as a whole. With the internet playing a vital tool in the sale of homes, we can accurately track how many people are looking at your property, how the interest in your property compares to other properties we have on our books and what needs to be done to improve the number of buyers coming through your door, if necessary. Sometimes even just adjusting the order of the photos has resulted in a sale.

The best offer on your home can come in the first week of marketing or after a number of weeks. The important thing to do is take time to consider your options. Is this an offer I am happy with? Can I make this offer work to achieve the property I am looking to buy?
Sillars will always offer advice to you at point of receiving an offer, but the decision is ultimately yours to make. If you are still to find an onward purchase, buyers are often accepting of this and will offer you reasonable time to find.

After accepting an offer, The next step is to find a solicitor or conveyancing firm to handle the legal process on your behalf. Legal representatives, like estate agents will vary considerably on cost and effectiveness at progressing your sale through to completion. Take time to pick the right company, ask friends or relatives for recommendations. Sillars will offer guidance as to who we believe will be able to offer the service you require for your particular circumstances.
At Sillars we offer a complimentary sales progressions service to help assist the process through to completion. This service by no means replaces solicitors but is there for advice and to liaise between parties to bring the transaction to a swift conclusion

Often the most stressful part of moving home.
Agreeing a moving date with all parties, arranging removals, packing etc. try in advance to suggest a couple of target moving dates. If everyone does this, hopefully there will be a date that everyone can agree on with the minimum of fuss.
Please remember that although you may agree, nothing is formerly agreed until exchange has taken place and if there is a delay it could affect the completion date. Best advice is to not book any removals until exchange has taken place.

Legal completion can take place at any time of the date agreed to move, from 9.30am to 5pm. Make sure that you are ready to move for the earlier time, again this will avoid any undue stress in the final leg of your move.
