Valuation
All of our advice on selling your property
starts with our free appraisal. Our expert
valuers have an unparalleled knowledge of
your area and will deliver an accurate
valuation and suggest a suitable marketing
strategy. We will listen to your needs and
realistic price expectations and offer
honest and professional advice.
Processing your Property
When we receive your instructions to sell,
your very own property sales negotiator
will call you to discuss the next course of
action. Firstly, we will arrange a convenient
appointment to take any remaining
photographs that are outstanding. These
will carefully be taken and be used
throughout the marketing period within
your adverts, brochures and our own
Internet sites. A draft brochure will be
produced and sent to you for checking.
Your property will be advertised in the
appropriate media quickly and efficiently.
Please remember that before any marketing can begin you will require a
Home Information Pack. Bartons will take care of this as quickly as possible and with a minimum of fuss.
Solicitor
A solicitor will be required to handle the
paperwork involved in transferring your
property to its new owner when sold. It is
advisable to instruct your solicitor at an early
stage so that necessary documentation,
such as the deeds from a mortgage lender,
can be collected to avoid unnecessary
delays. We can offer help and guidance in
who to use and obtain quotes for your
consideration upon request.
Viewings
Viewings can be arranged by simply
contacting your relevant showroom. Our
opening times are: -
9.00 am to 5.30 pm Monday to Friday
9.00 am to 2.00 pm Saturday
We take care to collect all the relevant details
from your viewer in order to establish their
position. Once they have viewed we will
contact them to obtain their opinion and
provide you with honest feedback both
positive and negative. Accompanied viewings
can also be arranged by appointment. If you
prefer we can show your prospective buyers
around your property on your behalf. Please
ask for details.
Offers
As soon as an offer is received we will
advise you both verbally and in writing.
Never negotiate directly with a viewer or
prospective buyer as this can lead to
uneasiness and problems. We will carry
out a formal interview and obtain suitable
evidence of their ability to proceed in
terms of financial arrangements and advise
you accordingly if we have any doubts.
Agreeing the Sale
When we have established the suitability
of your buyer, we will agree with you on an
anticipated: -
Exchange of Contracts Date
Completion Date and
Confirm details of any extras included or
excluded from the sale
Draft Contract
When you have agreed a sale, your
solicitor will prepare a draft contract and
send it to your purchasers solicitor. He in
turn carries out preliminary enquiries as
well as contacting the land registry. They
will complete other supporting paperwork
such as title deeds, copies of the lease,
fixtures and fittings lists, planning consents
and copies of the building regulations.
Contract Approval
After all the issues following the preliminary
enquiries and local searches have been
satisfied we are ready to approve the
contract.
Exchange Contracts
You are almost there. If your buyer requires a
mortgage then this has to be confirmed.
Once this has been done we are ready to
exchange contracts. The contract is signed
by you and the buyer and a deposit, normally
10% of the purchase price, is transferred to
your solicitor having set a formal completion
date.
Completion
This is generally set a few days or weeks
after you exchange contracts. Residual
monies are sent to your solicitor and you can
release the keys.
