Every property and every sale is different. We start by understanding your circumstances, timescale and priorities before recommending a pricing and marketing strategy designed around your property.
We’ll assess your property alongside current local market conditions and comparable sales to recommend an appropriate asking price and marketing strategy. We believe in giving clear advice rather than suggesting an inflated figure simply to win your instruction.
Once instructed, Alto Residential can arrange professional photography, a detailed floor plan and an Energy Performance Certificate where required. We’ll market the property to the right audience, coordinate viewings and keep you informed of interest and feedback.
Our involvement doesn’t stop when an offer is accepted. We’ll remain in contact with you, the buyer and the respective solicitors to help keep the transaction progressing and make sure you’re kept informed along the way.
Mortgaged property
If you have a mortgage, check the terms before putting your property on the market, including whether any early repayment charges could apply. If you’re buying another property, you may be able to transfer your existing mortgage or consider alternative arrangements.
Alto Residential can provide details of a third-party mortgage adviser who may be able to advise on the options available.
Preparing for viewings
Presentation can make a real difference when bringing a property to market. Before photography and viewings begin, it’s worth making sure your property is clean, tidy and presented at its best.
Offers
When an offer is made, there’s more to consider than the figure alone. We’ll establish the prospective buyer’s position, including whether they require a mortgage, have a property to sell and their expectations around timescales.
We’ll handle negotiations on your behalf, provide clear advice and help you assess the strength of each offer.
Conveyancing
Once you’ve accepted an offer, you’ll need to instruct a solicitor or conveyancer to handle the legal process. Alto Residential can provide details of experienced conveyancing solicitors if required.
Exchange of contracts
Once the legal work is complete and both parties are ready to proceed, you’ll sign the necessary documentation and agree a completion date. When contracts are exchanged, the sale becomes legally binding and you can begin making your final arrangements for moving.
Completion day
On completion day, the remaining purchase funds are transferred and the sale is completed. Once your solicitor confirms completion, we’ll arrange for the keys to be handed over to the new owner.
If you’re contemplating becoming a landlord, the best starting point is to get an idea of the market value of your property. We are always happy to visit, at a time to suit and give you our professional opinion on price.
There is no charge or obligation whatsoever, and any discussions we have are in complete confidence.
