When you decide to sell your house, you have to think of a number of different considerations. For example, you have to know what your property is worth, and what you can reasonably expect to get for it; how much time you have to sell it and how flexible you can afford to be over offers.

Selling a house can be a tricky business, and it's crucial you make all the right moves to make the procedure as straightforward as possible. That's where our professional expertise can make all the difference.

Here's how we can provide a helping hand:

Inspection
Your house is inspected by our very experienced staff. We discuss the details of the property, the viewing arrangements and the marketing strategy with you. One of our solicitors obtains and checks your title deeds and is ready to deal quickly with any offers.

Price
Your asking price must neither undersell or overprice your property. We have experience in selling many properties, and have extensive knowledge of current market trends.

Advertising
We can help you decide on the most suitable form of advertising, taking your budget into account.

Enquiries and Feedback
We take the time to deal with any inquiries, so that potential purchasers have the information they need to make an informed decision. We follow up viewers and give you regular feedback on your sale.

Negotiations
This is the most sensitive area of the sale, and our experience and expertise will count. When you are faced with decisions about whether or not to accept a lower offer with an earlier entry date, or an offer subject to survey, or whether or not you should fix a closing date, you'll find there is no substitute for our negotiating skills.

Missives
Once you have received and agreed an offer in principle, the conditions must be negotiated and accepted in writing before there can be a binding contract. This correspondence, called "missives", is carried out on your behalf by your solicitor.

Titles
Once you have a binding contract to sell your house, we carry out all the necessary legal work so that the house title is transferred into the purchaser's name, your mortgage is repaid and cleared from the Land Register, and any necessary searches are conducted.
