Selling with Denisons

FIGURING OUT FINANCES
First, you need to figure out your finances. If you’re considering buying a more expensive property you should find out how much you can borrow. Those within existing mortgage terms may be eligible to transfer to a new property and be sure to take into account stamp duty and other moving costs. 

VALUATION
Setting the right asking price for your property is crucial. A property valued too high risks putting people off and too low means you could end up selling for less than what you could have achieved.  Our valuers have many years local experience valuing property and can give you real evidence of how we have reached your valuation. Not only that, but Denisons consistently achieve the sale price expected by our Vendors. 

CHOOSING AN AGENT 
When it comes to selecting an agent, you want to know that the they are experienced and trustworthy. We have many years combined industry knowledge of selling in the local area and an award-winning track record. When you instruct Denisons to sell your property you can be assured of an unrivalled marketing service.

PREPARING YOUR PROPERTY
First impressions count, the presentation of your property is critical to a successful sale. Consider addressing outstanding DIY jobs, adding a fresh coat of paint where necessary and decluttering to make rooms appear larger. We can offer advice on how to improve your property to increase its value and completely oversee the project on your behalf. 

VIEWINGS
Many of our viewings are accompanied by our experienced staff and our offices are open seven days a week to accommodate every viewer’s needs. After all, the weekend provides the most opportunity for potential purchasers to search for that perfect new home. 

OFFERS
Once you have received an offer, you may need to be prepared to negotiate. This is where the skills and expertise of Denisons staff come to the fore;  checking whether the potential purchaser is paying cash, requires a mortgage, has a property to sell and can fit in with your timescales, all of which may affect your decision whether to accept an offer or not.

OFFER AGREED 
After you accept an offer, we will ask for your solicitor’s details, prepare a memorandum of sale and write to all parties to confirm the agreed price. Your solicitor will send out a draft contract to the buyer’s solicitor. At this stage you may agree on dates for the survey, exchange of contracts and proposed completion date.. Communication is key and we will keep you informed every step of the way. 

EXCHANGE OF CONTRACT 
Exchange of contracts occurs once initial enquiries following receipt of draft contracts have been satisfied, evidence of ownership has been proven, any issues highlighted in the lease are answered and local search queries are received. A list of the fixtures and fittings to be included in the sale is also agreed and the buyer’s mortgage offer is confirmed. There are no legal obligations until contracts are signed and exchanged. 

COMPLETION 
Once the contract has been signed, the deposit will be transferred by the buyer’s solicitor to your solicitor. The completion date is then set by mutual agreement. Completion occurs when the residual monies are transferred from the buyer’s solicitor to your solicitor’s account who will call you when this has been done and will instruct us to release the keys to the buyer.
