The process of selling a property

Selling a property? We’re here to help

The process of selling a house doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. We have helped thousands of property owners successfully sell their property and get on the move, and we can help you too. In our guide to selling your property in Horsforth and the surrounding areas, we share the key steps and the legal process of selling property in England.

Step One

Book your free pre-sale property valuation with one of our knowledgeable and experienced professional valuers at a time that suits you. An accurate initial asking price is key to a speedy sale, higher valuations are always tempting but you should always seek comparable information to substantiate the asking price figure suggested.

Step Two

Choose the right agent for you. We provide a committed and professional service with extensive and comprehensive local knowledge. We put you first and give you a tailor-made first-class service; with your own dedicated negotiator. This, combined with an excellent high street presence, eye-catching For Sale boards, quality colour brochures, floorplans, and professional photography. Our comprehensive database of applicants, press advertising, and comprehensive advertising on the country’s largest and most popular property portals including Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket.com, in addition to our own state-of-the-art website, give you all the ingredients to agree an incredible early sale.

Step Three

Book a mortgage appointment with our independent knowledgeable and experienced mortgage and protection specialists to find out all you need to know about your existing mortgage and new mortgages available on the market. Our advisors pride themselves on providing friendly and uncomplicated advice to ensure this process is as stress-free as possible.

Step Four

Our team of specialist-accompanied viewers will assist you with your viewing appointments to ensure you maximise each viewing appointment and obtain that all-important offer as soon as possible. If you conduct your own viewing appointments, always be sure to highlight all the positives about your property and always tell prospective buyers the good things that they are unlikely to know such as good neighbours, information about the local community, and all the benefits of your outside space.

Step Five

Our highly experienced industry-qualified staff will professionally negotiate, on your behalf, to achieve the best possible price for your property. We always ensure that we have all the necessary information regarding your purchasers’ circumstances including qualification of their financial situation and all other connected properties involved in order that you are able to make an informed choice of the right buyer to proceed with which suits your timescales and needs best. We will then progress your sale, alongside our panel of local professional and friendly solicitors, all the way through to completion.
