Your Home, Your Future- Let’s Get It Right
At Critchlows, we know that selling your home is more than just a transaction, it’s about making your next move with confidence. Our expert team, innovative strategies, and market-leading technology ensure your property is seen by the right buyers at the right time.
Thinking of selling?
Start by checking finances (mortgage, costs), getting a valuation, sorting an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), preparing your home (declutter, kerb appeal, neutral decor), choosing an estate agent and solicitor, marketing effectively, handling viewings, negotiating offers, and managing the legal exchange and completion, all while budgeting for fees and potential repairs.
Phase 1: Preparation & Planning
Finances: Calculate your equity (value minus mortgage) and budget for fees (agent, solicitor), repairs, removals, and potential Stamp Duty if buying again.
Mortgage: Check for Early Repayment Charges (ERCs) if you need to switch or pay it off early.
Valuation: Get professional valuations from local agent to set a realistic price.
EPC: You need an Energy Performance Certificate before marketing, notes GOV.UK.
Paperwork: Gather key documents like your property title, lease details (if leasehold), and service history.
Phase 2: Marketing Your Home
Declutter & Depersonalise: Remove clutter to make rooms feel bigger; depersonalise so buyers can imagine themselves living there.
First Impressions (Kerb Appeal): Tidy the garden, check paintwork, address obvious maintenance, and ensure the entrance is welcoming.
Choose Your Agent: Get quotes, compare fees (fixed vs. percentage, VAT), marketing strategies, and their local market knowledge.
Market Price: Set a competitive price to attract early interest.
Phase 3: The Sale Process
Conveyancing: Hire a solicitor or licensed conveyancer to handle legal work early on, advises GOV.UK and HomeOwners Alliance.
Viewings: Be flexible, keep the house clean, well-lit, and tidy; consider leaving during viewings
