advice for sellers

We will ensure your property is marketed to the widest range of buyers thereby maximising the opportunities to gain the best possible price in the shortest timeframe. Below we have highlighted some useful tips and information when selling your property.

prepare

• Clean Up - Clear out cupboards, lofts, garages & sheds; what isn’t needed or wanted should be thrown away or given to charity. Tackle those minor DIY jobs like boxing wires but resist refurbishing the whole property; unless advised to do so by your agent.
• Have one of our Agents come to view and evaluate your property. Many estate agents will over value the property merely to gain the instruction, however this is a false economy as it often leads to less interest in the property and therefore lower offers. Our staff at Chromes have good local knowledge and will get the best price for your property.

on the market

• Your property will be posted on all the top property portals, such as Rightmove, Primelocation, Propertyfinder, Findaproperty and many more. We also run regular local newspaper advertising campaigns.
• We carry out accompanied viewings, so one of our Agents will help sell your property to potential buyers and answer any questions about the area.
• Viewings will be arranged on dates and at times that are at your convenience.
• Quality before quantity, our screening process is thorough, we won’t waste time showing your property to buyers who do not fit the match criteria.
• We endeavour to close deals as quickly as possible causing little disruption or undue stress to your every day life.
• Constant communication is maintained, you have 24 hour access to your sales negotiator via email and telephone. We will keep you updated through every stage of the selling process.

offers

Consider all offers on their individual merits and try to reach decisions swiftly. Do not make decisions before first discussing it with your Agent. Allow your Agent to guide you, the first offer is not always the best. Our agents are here to negotiate deals for you.

sell it

After accepting an offer we set a preferred timescale and recommend that you aim to exchange contracts as soon as possible. This process can be lengthy and frustrating so we keep a careful eye on progress and liaise with both parties to minimize any delays. We can also provide you with excellent contacts for finance, conveyancing, surveying, storage and removals.
