Selling

Selling your home can be stressful so it is important to choose an agent you can trust who will make this process as smooth as possible. BM Properties aim to eliminate the stress and make the experience as easy as possible.


What to Do Next

Selling a home? Do you require a valuation? Please contact BM Properties for advice or fill in the valuation form.


In the meantime, here are a few guidelines which we hope will assist:


Valuation

BM Properties will offer you a free, no obligation factual and accurate appraisal of the current market value of your home.

 

Note: due to current conditions we are also available for on-line Valuations.

Instruction of the Agent/Property Details

Having received your valuation, and provided that you are satisfied with it, we will then proceed to prepare full sales details of your property with the aid of professional photographs and, if required, we can also set up a computerised 360 degree/virtual tour to feature on our website and the main property portals. (Rightmove, Zoopla,On The Market & Primelocation).


Marketing

Once you have seen and approved our particulars, you will then be in a position to receive prospective buyers. Appointments to view your property are made by BM Properties and accompanied viewings will be arranged to show prospective buyers around your home. Your property is now ready to market and we offer the following:


FOR SALES BOARD (If permitted)


EMAIL – Wherever possible, all prospective buyers who register with us are asked to provide email addresses in order to ensure that they are notified of any new properties as soon as possible within 24 hours of receiving your instruction.


MAIL SHOTS (and telesales) - We will contact registered prospective buyers as soon as possible after receiving your instruction and your details will be forwarded to any new registered buyers immediately.


WEBSITE – This is regularly updated and full details of your home are placed on our website within 24 hours of being placed on the market. Besides the exposure on our own site, BM Properties is also affiliated with the following national property websites which will feature your home: Rightmove, Zoopla, On The Market and Primelocation.


UPDATING ON YOUR SALE – At BM Properties, we aim to keep you regularly appraised of your sales process right through to completion and liaise with your purchaser, the legal representatives, surveyors and mortgage lenders in order to ensure that your sale is progressed as smoothly and as stress-free as possible.


OFFERS – Any offers we receive are promptly verbally notified and then followed up in writing. Our competent sales team will negotiate between you and your prospective applicant in order to achieve the strongest buyer.


AGREED SALE – At this point you will need to instruct a solicitor. BM Properties highly recommend Starck Uberoi Solicitors (www.starckuberoi.co.uk) The solicitors will then write to all parties and the buyers will instruct a surveyor to conduct a survey of your property and the buyers’ mortgage offer (if required) will also be subject to the results of the survey. The sellers’ solicitors will request the TITLE DEEDS from the lender (if appropriate) or yourselves as the seller and the FIXTURES AND FITTINGS form must be completed at this stage. The solicitors draw up the DRAFT CONTRACT. Any enquiries will then be raised, the Title Deeds and Lease (if applicable) will be checked and LOCAL SEARCHES carried out.


EXCHANGE OF CONTRACTS – As long as the mortgage offer has been received and cleared funds placed with your buyer’s solicitor (normally 10%), a mutually convenient date can be agreed upon for the exchange of contracts.


COMPLETION - Remaining funds to be transferred to your solictor.
