Q.

Can my property be marketed immediately after instructing an agent?

A.

The law states that there is a duty on the person acting on behalf of the seller (the estate agent) to be satisfied that an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) has been commissioned before commencing marketing. If required we can assist you with the preparation of the EPC and this can normally be secured within a couple of days.

Q.

Should I take my property off the market once I have accepted an offer?

A.

Your buyers will usually expect you to remove the property from the market whilst they arrange for their survey and mortgage valuation. There are circumstances when it would be considered prudent to continue marketing the property, if for example the buyer’s dependent chain was incomplete, but we would always recommend informing the buyers of your intentions.

Q.

I’m looking for a quick sale - how quickly can a buyer be found?

A.

We will always endeavour to introduce a buyer as soon as possible, but it is also important that we establish the buyer’s position with regard to funding and dependent transactions, as well as their ability to accommodate your ongoing plans.
