Selling your home can be stressful so it is important to choose an agent you can trust who will make this process as smooth as possible. We at Aston Gray, aim to eliminate the stress and make the experience as easy as possible. This is achieved by ensuring you are kept informed in an efficient and professional manner through all steps of the marketing and sales process.
WHAT TO DO NEXT
Buying or selling a home? Do you require a valuation? Please contact Aston Gray for advice or fill in the valuation form.
In the meantime, here are a few guidelines which we hope will assist:
VALUATION
Firstly, if you are selling, you will require a valuation. At Aston Gray, we can offer you a free, no-obligation, factual and accurate appraisal of the current market value of your home. Our experienced property valuer will provide you with a valuation based not only on their in-depth knowledge of the local area, but also utilising our extensive database of recent properties sold.
INSTRUCTION OF THE AGENT / PROPERTY DETAILS
Having received your valuation, and provided that you are satisfied with it, we will then proceed to prepare full sales details of your property. Bearing in mind the importance of presentation, our dedicated content writers will ensure that the sales details highlight the vitally important aspects of your property, its location and access to local amenities and ensure that your home is shown to its best possible advantage with the aid of full-colour photographs, floorplan and brochure.
MARKETING
Once you have seen and approved our particulars of your home, you will then be able to receive prospective buyers. All appointments to view your property will be accompanied by an Aston Gray representative.
Your property is now ready to market by the following methods:
WEBSITE AND PROPERTY PORTALS: Aston Gray will ensure that your property is advertised on the most popular property portals (including Rightmove and Zoopla) as well as our own bespoke website.
SOCIAL MEDIA: Aston Gray will utilise our strong presence in social media and selective and targeted marketing of your property to prospective buyers within the location, who are currently in the market.
FOR SALE BOARD: This is the most simple and effective marketing tool, available 24 hours a day.
EMAILS: We are constantly adding prospect buyers and investors to our ever-growing newsletter subscribers list. Our cutting edge software ensures all registered prospective buyers will receive details of your property within 24 hours of launch, which is followed up on the same day with a phone call to ensure any viewings are booked in as soon as possible.
OFFERS: Any offers we receive are promptly verbally notified and then followed up in writing. Our competent sales team will negotiate between you and your prospective applicant in order to achieve the strongest buyer. We will inform you of the position of the buyers and liaise with you until an accepted offer has been agreed upon.
Should you require your sale to be completed by a certain date, this is when you should notify us and we will endeavour to satisfy your request wherever possible.
At this stage, you should also provide your list of Fixture and Fittings which will be negotiated separately between the solicitors and forms part of the final contract.
AGREED SALE: At this point (if you have not already done so), you will need to instruct a solicitor and, should you require assistance, Aston Gray will only be too pleased to recommend local firms. The solicitors will then write to all parties and the buyers will instruct a surveyor to conduct a survey of your property (the “agreed sale” is subject to the contract and any survey) and the buyers’ mortgage offer (if required) will also be subject to the results of the survey. The sellers’ solicitors will request the TITLE DEEDS from the lender (if appropriate) or yourselves as the seller and the FIXTURES AND FITTINGS form must be completed at this stage. The solicitors draw up the DRAFT CONTRACT which sets off the Terms of the Sale and sends it to the buyers’ solicitor together with all relevant documents. Any enquiries will then be raised, the Title Deeds and Lease (if applicable) will be checked and LOCAL SEARCHES carried out. Once the draft contracts have been approved, it can be signed by both parties.
EXCHANGE OF CONTRACTS: As long as the mortgage offer has been received and cleared funds placed with your buyer’s solicitor, exchange of contracts can be conducted between the buyers and sellers solicitors and a mutually agreed date for completion is agreed at this time.
COMPLETION DAY: Your solicitor, upon receiving all relevant cleared funds, will contact Aston Gray to authorise the release of keys to the new owner.
