Steps to Selling Your Home

The first step in the process is to find out the market value of your home. Our objective is to secure you the best possible price for your home, without providing unrealistic expectations. An agent from Gordon Hughes will call to your property at a time of your choosing and assess the value of your home based on a competitive market analysis.

Once you have made your decision to sell your home we advise appointing your solicitor. Your solicitor will deal with the legal formalities around selling your home. Use our legal checklist below and discuss the details with your solicitor to help your sale run smoothly.

This is completed by an independent assessor who will visit your home. The BER is broadly similar to the labels now provided with domestic appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines. All homes being marketed for sale require a BER certificate – we will be unable to market your property without a BER certificate.

First impressions count! Our expert agents will discuss recommendations, if any, at your appraisal.

Our extensive marketing package ensures your home reaches all potential buyers.

Prospective purchasers will be accompanied by appointment with an agent from Gordon Hughes, at a time of their choosing. We will hold on going private viewings and hold open viewings where appropriate.

When a satisfactory offer is accepted a booking deposit will be paid by the purchaser. A sales advice notice is then issued to your acting solicitor to issue contracts. After pre-contract enquiries are dealt with by your solicitor and a satisfactory survey report, the purchasers will sign the contracts and pay a binding 10% deposit. After signing is complete and the contracts are exchanged a closing date will be agreed and the purchaser’s solicitor will drawdown/transfer the balance of funds on that date.
