Set your asking price with evidence. Check recent local sales and comparables, decide a launch date, and agree your must-have/best-case outcomes.
Get photo-ready: declutter, fix snags, touch up paint, deep-clean, and stage rooms. Book a floor plan / virtual tour and professional photos. Gather manuals & warranty info.
Line up the essentials your solicitor will ask for: EPC ordered or on file, gas/electrical info to hand, and your HM Land Registry Title Register & Plan.
Create your listing. Add the address, write a benefits-led description, upload 10-20 good photos plus a floor plan, and highlight schools, transport and standout features. Preview before publishing.
Go live and maximise exposure. Use Premium Boost to place your listing higher and get more views, then share the link, post to portals/social, alert your contacts, and respond quickly. Line up the first viewing window straight away.
Run viewings efficiently. Use bookable slots, auto-confirmations and calendar invites. Give access instructions, capture feedback, and close or add capacity as needed.
Triage enquiries. Prioritise buyers with proof of funds or a Mortgage in Principle and a clear timeline. Invite the best-fit viewers first.
Record every offer in one place: amount, buyer details, mortgage/chain and notes. Check ID/proof of funds. Compare side-by-side, accept/counter/decline in one click, and keep a full audit trail.
Instruct a conveyancer/solicitor. Complete client care/ID checks, fill the property information forms, and get your contract pack ready to issue promptly.
Contracts are signed and the buyer pays the deposit. As the seller, you confirm the completion date, sign your contract, and line up removals and insurance (responsibility usually switches at exchange).
Completion day: take final meter readings, hand over all keys/fobs, leave manuals/warranties and useful notes. Use the handover sheet to make it simple, and notify utilities/council of the move.
