Selling your home

You've loved your home but the time has come to move on or away.

• · Stand back and take an objective look around the house. Presentation is everything. Ensure the front of the house is clean, tidy and appealing. If you have bold decorative taste consider re-decorating in neutral tones for mass appeal.

• Now you are happy with your presentation you should get valuation figures.

• We generally recommend 3 valuations to give you a broad perspective; you may be surprised at the variations in the figures discussed.

• You should then instruct Quantum to market the property. You can discuss the final marketing figure at this time, we might advise an average of the valuations received.

• Make yourselves available for viewings and let your estate agent know your availability. If you prefer, Quantum can hold a key for your property to attend for viewings when you are unavailable.

• Consider any offers you receive carefully and take your estate agents advice at this stage.

• Once you accept an offer you will need to instruct a solicitor to deal with your conveyancing - choose a reputable firm, probably by recommendation. They will need key information from you straight away such as details of your mortgage account for access to the title deeds.
