Selling

WHAT TO DO NEXT - a 6 stage process

  • Property Valuation
  • Meeting/Co-ordination of the team
  • Manage your presentation & marketing choices
  • Manage your sale
  • Negotiate your price
  • Follow the sale through to completion

You will require a valuation. At G & S Properties we can offer you a free, no obligation factual and accurate appraisal of the current market value of your home. Our experienced partners will provide you with a valuation based not only on their in-depth knowledge of Glasgow and Central Scotland, but also utilising our extensive database of recent properties sold.


Please contact us for advice or fill in the valuation form.


INSTRUCTING THE AGENT


PROPERTY DETAILS

Having received your valuation, and provided that you are satisfied with it, we will then proceed to prepare full sales details of your property. Bearing in mind the importance of presentation, we will ensure that your sales details highlight the vitally important aspects of your property and ensure that your home is shown to its best possible advantage with the aid of full colour photographs, drone aerial photography and, if required, we can also set up a computerised 360 degree/virtual tour to feature on our website.


SURVEY

The next step is to obtain the home report, as required by law. This will be conducted by a Chartered Surveyor acting on your behalf. The report consists of three parts

  • Single Survey
  • EPC – electric performance certificate
  • Property Questionnaire
  • We will arrange this on your behalf

MARKETING

Once you have seen and approved our particulars of your home, you will then be in a position to receive prospective buyers. Appointments to view your property are made by us and accompanied viewing can also be arranged to show prospective buyers around your home should you be unable to do so.


Your property is now ready to market and we offer the following:


FOR SALES BOARD - This is the most simple and effective marketing tool, available 24 hours a day.


OFFICE AND WINDOW DISPLAY – External and internal photographs will be prominently displayed in our premises in order to optimise exposure to the marketplace.


EMAIL – Wherever possible, all prospective buyers who register with us are asked to provide email addresses in order to ensure that they are notified of any new properties as soon as possible within 24 hours of us receiving instructions from the vendors.


MAIL SHOTS (and telesales) - We will contact registered prospective buyers as soon as possible after receiving your instruction and your details will be forwarded to any new registered buyers immediately.


WEBSITE – This has a live feed and is updated immediately, and full colour details of your home are placed on our website within hours of your approval.


We also produce videography, making virtual viewing easy from the comfort of the buyer’s home.


Besides the exposure on our own site we are also affiliated with the following national property websites which will feature your home:


Rightmove
S1homes

UPDATING ON YOUR SALE – At G & S Properties, we pride ourselves on our conscientious sales management. We aim to keep you regularly appraised of your sale process right through to completion and liaise with your purchaser, the legal representatives, surveyors and mortgage lenders in order to ensure that your sale is progressed as smoothly and as stress-free as possible.


OFFERS – Any offers we receive are promptly verbally notified and then followed up in writing. Our competent sales team will negotiate between you and your prospective applicant in order to achieve the strongest buyer.


We will inform you of the position of the buyers and liaise with you until an accepted offer has been agreed.


Should you require your sale to be completed by a certain date, you should notify us, and we will endeavour to satisfy your request wherever possible.


AGREED SALE – Once we have received an offer or we have set a closing date we will report to you on our opinion of the value of the offers or offer for your decision and take instructions to accept or decline the offer


You are not under any obligation to accept an offer at any stage.


Once we have your instructions, we will confirm with the purchaser and their solicitor that you wish to accept their offer and that we will forward this to their solicitor for formal acceptance and completion of the missive which will bind both parties to the contract and legally commit to the settlement at the price and on the day stipulated.


We cannot stress enough the necessity to have a fixed completion date, as without it the buyer can pull out of the contact at any stage. We would suggest that you have your arrangements in place for the move either to your new home or into temporary accommodation.


Once we have given our word to the buyer, on your behalf, and their solicitor that their offer is acceptable (subject to a formal missive), although not contractually bound in writing, a verbal contract will exist between the parties.


COMPLETION – The completion and your actual house move can take between 3 and 4 months depending on the buyers, sellers, and their respective solicitors. In some instance where the sale property is empty, we can demand that the deal is arranged for an early entry, this will depend on the number of interested buyers and whether it becomes a seller's requirement.
