Step by step to selling property
Whether you’re downsizing, buying a second property, or simply seeking a fresh start, selling a home can often feel overwhelming. NeonLock is here to make the process straightforward and stress-free. This guide breaks the journey into clear, actionable steps, highlighting how we can assist you every step of the way.
1. Getting a Precise Valuation
Before you plan your next move, it’s crucial to understand the value of your property. Knowing your home’s worth will help you set realistic expectations and be prepared when offers start coming in.
Our property experts use market data and local trends to provide a detailed valuation. If you want to get ahead, consider arranging a pre-sale survey to gain deeper insights into your property’s value and avoid last-minute surprises.
At NeonLock, we pride ourselves on delivering reliable and informed valuations. Try our free valuation tool or book an appointment with one of our specialists today.
2. Picking the Right Agent
Partnering with the right estate agent can make all the difference. The ideal agent will work in your best interests, ensuring your property achieves the best possible price while guiding you through the process easily.
At NeonLock, we’re dedicated to offering a personalised and professional approach, ensuring your selling experience is smooth and successful.
3. Appointing a Solicitor
Choosing a solicitor early in the process can give you a significant advantage. When you agree on a sale, having one in place ensures the legal side moves forward without delays.
NeonLock collaborates with trusted local solicitors who bring extensive experience and a deep understanding of the property market. Many offer “no sale, no fee” terms so that you can feel confident in their support.
4. Marketing Your Property to Buyers
Properly marketing your property is key to attracting serious buyers. A strong marketing strategy generates more interest, which increases the chances of a quicker sale.
At NeonLock, we advertise properties on major platforms like Rightmove and combine this with our growing online presence. Our team also uses local knowledge to showcase your property’s unique features, from nearby schools to great transport links.
Reviewing and Accepting Offers
When offers come in, we’ll notify you promptly in writing and over the phone. We’ll also verify the buyer’s financial standing, whether they’re paying with a mortgage or outright, to ensure they’re in a position to proceed.
Once an offer is accepted, we’ll coordinate with you, your solicitor, the buyer, and their solicitor to confirm the details. Remember, offers are not legally binding until contracts are exchanged. We’ll keep you informed every step of the way, ensuring everything progresses smoothly.
Finalising the Sale
The final step in selling your home is completion. After contracts are exchanged, a completion date will be agreed upon. On that date, the buyer’s solicitor will transfer the remaining funds to your solicitor.
Once the payment clears, your solicitor will notify you and NeonLock, and we’ll release the keys to the buyer.
Congratulations—you’ve successfully sold your property!
