Selling

Step-by-step guide to selling 

​

​​

​

​

Accurate Evaluations:

Our experienced team knows the local area well. We'll base your property's valuation on factors like nearby comparable sales, current market and economic conditions, and the property's proximity to schools, public transport, and other local amenities. Rest assured; we'll work hard to ensure you get the best possible price for your property.

​

Choosing The Right Agent:

We take pride in our friendly, understanding, and professional approach, and we believe in clear, jargon-free communication, as shown in our Terms of Business. We provide weekly updates, offer expert advice, and regularly review the marketing and progress of your sale. Our goal is to find you the right buyer at the best price, making the selling process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Instructing A Solicitor:

We recommend that sellers appoint a solicitor early in the process to ensure a quick and smooth progression once a sale is agreed.

​

Marketing Your Property:

Our marketing team will arrange Professional Photos, EPC Documents, and Floor plans. We advertise on all major online portals, including Zoopla, onthemarket.com, and Prime Location, as well as on our website. We use large, high-quality photos to highlight your property's best features, along with information about local schools, amenities, and useful links to street views such as local transport links, gyms, and many more. We’ll highlight the details that resonate with buyers on a personal level, every promotion will reflect these unique touches to attract the right buyers.

​

Receiving Offers:

We’ll inform you of all offers verbally as soon as possible and follow up in writing within 24 hours.

Buyers will need to specify how they plan to fund the purchase, and we'll verify this by contacting their financial advisor, bank, or solicitor. We will carry out all referencing processes and procedures. We'll also establish a timeline for the exchange of contracts.

​

Accepting An Offer:

After you accept an offer, you have the option to decide whether we should continue marketing the property until contracts are exchanged. Remember, offers are not legally binding until this exchange takes place. We will reach out to you, the buyer, and both parties' solicitors to confirm the sale details. A Memorandum of Sale will then be prepared and distributed.

​

Contracts:

Once contracts are exchanged, the sale becomes legally binding for both parties. An exchange will only happen after the buyer has deposited cleared funds, typically 10% of the sale price, with their solicitor. Your solicitor will notify you first and then us once the exchange is complete. At that point, a mutually agreed-upon completion date will be set.

​

Finalizing:

Completion takes place when the buyer’s solicitor has transferred the remaining balance of the purchase price to your solicitor by the agreed completion date. After this transfer, your solicitor will notify both you and us, and we will then release the keys to the buyer.

​

Sab Estate Agents are required to comply with the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing, and Transfer of Funds (information on the payer) Regulations 2017 and be aware of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.

​

In order for the Sab Estate agent to comply, all clients must be identified and verified along with the contracting party and any beneficial owners. This also applies to companies, trusts, personal representatives, and offshore companies.
