What to Do Next

Buying or selling a home? Do you require a valuation? Please contact our sales team for advice or request a valuation.

 

In the meantime, here are a few guidelines which we hope will assist you:

 

Valuation

 Firstly, if you are selling, you will require a valuation. At Jeffersons we can offer you a free, no obligation, factual and accurate appraisal of the current market value of your home. Our experienced property valuers will provide you with a valuation based not only on their in-depth knowledge of Central London and the surrounding areas, but also utilising our extensive database of recent properties sold.

 

Instruction of 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 and, if required, we can also set up a computerised 360 degree/virtual tour to feature on our website.

 

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 Jeffersons and accompanied viewing can also be arranged to show prospective buyers around your home, should you be unable to do so or if you would prefer us to handle that aspect for you.

 

Your property is now ready to market and we offer the following services to get that done:

 

The "For Sale" Board - This is the most simple and effective marketing tool. It stays right outside your property and is available 24 hours a day.

 

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 and within 24 hours of receiving your instruction.

 

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 is updated daily and full colour details of your home are placed on our website within 24 hours of your instruction to us.

Besides the exposure on our own site, Jeffersons is also affiliated with the following national property websites which will feature your home: Rightmove, Zoopla, and OnTheMarket. We also utilise Social Media hubs such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to promote your property to a wider audience.

 

Updating You on Your Sale – At Jeffersons, we pride ourselves on our conscientious approach to sales management. We aim to keep you regularly appraised of your sales 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 acceptable offer has been agreed.

 

Should you require your sale to be completed by a certain date, this is when you should notify us and we will endeavour to satisfy your request wherever possible.  At this stage, you should also provide your list of "Fixtures and Fittings" which will be negotiated separately between the solicitors and forms part of the final contract.

 

Agreed Sale – At this point (if you have not already done so), you will need to instruct a solicitor and, should you require assistance, Jeffersons will only be too pleased to recommend firms.

 

The solicitors will then write to all parties and the buyers will instruct a surveyor to conduct a survey of your property (the “agreed sale” is subject to the contract and any survey) and the buyers’ mortgage offer (if required) will also be subject to the results of the survey.

 

The sellers’ solicitors will request the TITLE DEEDS from the lender (if appropriate) or yourselves as the seller and the FIXTURES AND FITTINGS form must be completed at this stage.

 

The solicitors draw up the DRAFT CONTRACT which sets of the Terms of the Sale and sends it to the buyers’ solicitor together with all relevant documents. Any enquiries will then be raised, the Title Deeds and Lease (if applicable) will be checked and LOCAL SEARCHES carried out.

 

Once the draft contracts have been approved, they can be signed by both parties.

 

Exchange of Contracts – As long as the mortgage offer has been received and cleared funds placed with your buyer’s solicitor, a mutually convenient date can be agreed upon for the exchange of contracts.

 

Completion – The completion and your actual house move can take between 7 to 28 days depending on the buyers, sellers and their respective solicitors. You can rest assured that we'll be right there with you to help in any way we can.
