Selling your property doesn’t have to be stressful. This guide outlines our approach, but our experts are ready to provide more detailed information and personalised assistance.
Obtain a Detailed Market Valuation
Certainly! Here’s a revised version:
Experience shows that setting the right price is crucial. If the price is too high, it can deter potential viewings and offers, as informed buyers are only interested in properties they believe are fairly priced. Overpricing and then reducing the price later can lead to a lower final sale price than if it had been correctly priced from the start. Our strategy is to get it right from the outset, optimising both the sale price and speed. Contact us today to discover the true value of your property.
Chooseing the Right Agent
Selecting the right estate agent is essential to a successful property sale. The agent you choose can significantly impact both the price you achieve and the speed of the sale. It’s important to work with an agent who understands the local market, has a proven track record, and offers a tailored approach to meet your needs.
At Marv Estate, we pride ourselves on our expertise and commitment. Our team provides a detailed market appraisal, employs effective marketing strategies, and maintains transparent communication throughout the process. Choosing us means partnering with professionals dedicated to achieving the best results for you.
What Will It Cost to Sell My Home?
Our fee is a percentage of the final sale price, plus VAT, which will be deducted from the sale proceeds by your solicitor upon completion. You will also need to cover legal fees to your solicitor, which can generally be arranged in advance. Based on our experience, we recommend choosing a skilled local solicitor rather than opting for a less expensive, high-volume conveyancing service. We are happy to offer guidance on this.
All marketing materials, the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), and premium listings are included in our fee, with no additional costs.
There are no additional costs; all marketing material, EPC and premium listings are included in our fee.
Tenure and Planning Overview
To maximise your property’s value, it may be necessary to extend your lease or obtain planning permission. The best approach depends on your specific situation. We have dedicated surveyors and solicitors who specialise in these areas and can offer expert advice tailored to your needs.
Preparing Your Home for Viewings
We can provide guidance on whether any home improvements are needed before showcasing your property. Generally, addressing those small tasks you’ve been postponing is a good idea—buyers are likely to notice them. To maximise your chances of achieving the highest price, it’s best to minimise any issues that might arise for potential buyers. A thorough declutter and a fresh coat of paint can also significantly enhance the appeal of your property.
Attracting Potential Buyers
We ensure your property receives maximum exposure to attract the right buyer. Our extensive marketing campaign includes showcasing your property on our website, sending email alerts to our database of registered applicants, displaying it in our shop window, and listing it on major portals such as Rightmove and Zoopla. We leave no stone unturned in our efforts to find the perfect buyer for you!
Offers
Here’s the exciting part! We will present all offers to you in full, including any conditions, so you can make a well-informed decision. If your property is competitively priced, we might receive several offers and move to a best bids process. This enables you to choose the buyer whose offer and funding arrangement are most advantageous for you.
Exchange and completion
Accepting an offer is just the start. Ensuring a smooth sale requires a dedicated and experienced agent to manage every detail. We are proactive and ready to tackle any issues that arise, keeping in close contact with both solicitors to provide regular updates and ensure progress.
Contracts are exchanged once all queries are resolved and a completion date is agreed upon. At this point, the buyer pays a deposit (usually 10%) to your solicitor. We will handle the key handover on the completion day, once the final payment has been received.
