1. Valuation

Initial Property Appraisal:

2. Preparing for Sale

Property Presentation:
First impressions are everything. To maximise appeal, consider decluttering, deep cleaning, and making minor repairs where needed. For homes in Manchester North, showcasing local attractions and benefits can be a unique selling point.

Energy Performance Certificate (EPC):
It’s a legal requirement in the UK to have an EPC when selling your home. This certificate provides information about your property’s energy efficiency. If you don’t have a current one, we can assist you in obtaining it.

3. Marketing Your Property

Exposure Matters:
Belvoir Manchester North employs multiple channels to advertise your property. From listings on top property portals to social media promotions, we ensure maximum visibility. Our professional photographers capture your property in its best light and detailed descriptions highlight its unique features.

4. Viewings

Coordinating Potential Buyers:
We understand the importance of coordinating viewings around your schedule. We offer accompanied viewings where our agents showcase your property, answering any questions potential buyers might have and highlighting key selling points.

5. Receiving and Negotiating Offers

Expert Guidance:
Once offers start coming in, Belvoir Manchester North will communicate these to you promptly. Our team is skilled in negotiations, ensuring you get the best possible price for your property.

6. Sale Agreed

Progressing the Sale:
After accepting an offer, we will prepare a memorandum of sale, informing both solicitors. Our team is proactive in liaising with all parties involved, ensuring a smooth progression towards completion.

7. Legalities and Conveyancing

The Legal Pathway:
Conveyancing refers to the legal process of transferring property ownership. While it can be complex, having an experienced solicitor can make a difference. Belvoir Manchester North can recommend trusted solicitors who are familiar with Manchester property sales.

8. Surveys and Mortgage Valuation

Understanding the Checks:
Most buyers will require a mortgage valuation, and some might also opt for a detailed survey. These assessments ensure the property is a good investment and highlight any potential concerns.

9. Exchange of Contracts

Sealing the Deal:
This is the pivotal moment when both parties commit legally. Once contracts are exchanged, the buyer pays a deposit, and the completion date is set. From this point, the sale is legally binding.

10. Completion and Handover

Finalising the Sale:
On the completion date, the balance of the payment is transferred from the buyer’s to the seller’s solicitor. Once confirmed, keys can be handed over, and the property officially changes ownership.
