Selling / Buying FAQ

Seller - What do I need to do to prepare my property for marketing?

Tidy up and de-clutter. That includes the front and rear gardens as well. We will then arrange for photos and floor plan to be taken. If you don’t have an EPC you will need to arrange one or we can do it for you. We also require our contract to be signed and the identifications from the vendor(s) and proof of address as required under The Anti Money Laundering Act 2003

Seller - What is an EPC?

Energy Performance Certificate. An energy assessor will come round to measure how energy efficient your property is and then will grade it. It will also show you what savings can be made if improved.

Seller - Do I need a board?

Some buildings don’t allow boards on the premises as it is either stipulated in the terms of the lease or is in an area where the council won’t permit. In the majority of cases one can have a board but is not a legal requirement. There are many benefits to having a board for the vendor. It enhances exposure, shows prospective purchasers how committed the vendor is.

Seller - Who conducts the viewings?

It is our aim to conduct as many viewings as possible. This is a) a security measure for you b) we have typically built up a rapport with the prospective purchasers and we can highlight their interests in the property. c) it enables us to give you proper feedback. And after all you are paying us.

Buyer - Do I meet an agent or the vendor (seller) when I view?

In the majority of cases the agent will be at the property. There may be an occasion where the vendor shows you if for example the viewing is outside office hours

Buyer - When should I speak to a mortgage advisor?

You should speak to an independent mortgage advisor prior to viewing. This is so you know how much you can borrow and therefore know what to look up to. There is no point in falling in love with a property to only find out afterwards you can’t afford it and likewise, you may be able to borrow more than you thought and therefore go for a better property.
