Decide when the best time to sell is

You’ll need to consider your finances, how motivated you are to move and the current property market - our experts are happy to advise on that one!

Make sure the type of home you’re looking to buy next actually exists in your target location, desired size and budget.

Searching for a ‘unicorn’ will make it impossible to complete on the sale of your home.

Choose an Estate Agent

As Houghton le Spring’s & Seaham’s leading Estate Agents, we use our experience to add maximum value for sellers and achieve the best possible outcome.

We’re experts at getting more eyes on your property, which means we can often generate more offers for your property than what you’d get with a cheaper fixed price agent who only cares about securing the sale rather than what price you achieve.

Find out what your property is worth

Book a FREE valuation to see what price point your property could achieve.

We’ll use our experience to give you a realistic valuation and offer recommendations where applicable to help you achieve a higher price point.

Always choose a quality agent who have a track record for delivering on what they say they will.

Instruct us to sell your property

As soon as we get the go ahead, our customer care team will take it from there, you’ll sign an agreement, and we’ll progress with a smooth sale of your property.

You’re in great hands with our team, you’d struggle to find a more talented bunch of property experts!

Instructing a solicitor

You will need to instruct a solicitor to handle the sale of the property. We can obtain quotations for your legal costs from experienced local solicitors if we have not already done so.

You can pick your own or use one of our trusted partners. CLICK HERE for a conveyancing quote.



If you are only selling with no follow-on purchase, then proceed to step 7.

Mortgage

If a mortgage is required on your new purchase, then you will need to arrange to see a financial/mortgage advisor or bank/building society to apply for a mortgage.

We can recommend our trusted partners Silvergate Group who provide expert mortgage advice. CLICK HERE to request mortgage advice. 

Viewings will take place

Whenever a buyer shows interest in your property and wants to book a viewing, we’ll always check to see what position they’re in (house to sell / sold / first time buyer and also are they cash byers, require a mortgage etc) and inform you of their position.

It’s totally up to you if you’d like to carry out the viewings yourself, or if you’d like someone from our team to show potential buyers around on your behalf.

Sales Negotiation

Once you’ve had viewings on your property, you’ll find that the offers start to roll in. We’re experts in making sure your home is properly priced and marketed to achieve the best price, and we’ll always use our experience to offer you advice on which offers to accept.

Rest assured that you’ll receive quality support and advice from our teams of dedicated specialists to ensure you get the best outcome from your sale.
