Valuation
To request a free valuation of your property you can either:
Processing your property
Once confirmation of your instruction has been received, one of our valuers
will process your property. From just one visit, we will be able to take
the time and effort to present your property in the best possible light
and place it in the local media quickly, professionally and efficiently.
Once the property is on website you will find floorplans, 360° tours,
colour photographs, location maps, and a printable colour brochure for
nearly every property.
In order to secure a property, we recommend an early viewing.
Legal
A solicitor will be required to handle the legal paperwork involved in
transferring ownership of your property to the new buyer (conveyance).
It is advisable to have an idea of a solicitor at the same time as putting
your property on the market.
On the market
When you instruct David Lee to sell your property you automatically benefit
from our unrivalled, comprehensive package of marketing services. These
are designed to achieve maximum exposure for your property in order to
obtain the best price quickly and efficiently
Viewings
David Lee will accompany all viewings if required, however if this service
is not needed then all viewings will come via the office where we can
arrange a mutually convenient time.
Receiving an offer
As soon as an offer is received we will notify you both verbally and in
writing.
Agreeing to sell
We will advise you and negotiate on your behalf throughout this process,
keeping you informed every step of the way until the right price is achieved.
Drafting contract and supporting paperwork
Once the transaction is agreed, your solicitor will send out a draft contract
to the purchaser's solicitor who in turn carries out preliminary enquiries
and orders a Land Registry search. They will also organise all the supporting
paperwork (where applicable) i.e: title deeds, copy of Lease, fixtures
and fittings list, seller's questionnaire, planning consent, guarantees,
copy of building regulations and share of freehold certificate.
Service charge accounts & building insurance (in general this is not
applicable to freehold properties)
We recommend that you forward copies of your service charge accounts over
the last three years, estimates for the forthcoming year, and building
insurance certificates, to your solicitor the moment a sale is agreed
on your property.
Alternatively, in the case of apartment blocks, you can ask your solicitor
to collect these documents from the Managing Agent.
Contract approval
This occurs when all preliminary enquiries from the draft contract and
local search queries have been settled.
Exchange of contracts
Most buyers require mortgages. Once the mortgage offer has been confirmed,
the purchaser is ready to exchange contracts with the seller. The contract
is signed by buyer and seller and the deposit, is either telegraphically
transferred or paid in the form of a bankers draft by the buyer's solicitor.
The completion date is set at this stage.
Completion
This is generally set a few days to a few weeks after exchange of contracts,
depending on the personal requirements of the buyer and seller. The residual
monies are transferred from the buyer's solicitor to your solicitor's
account.
