We Help With All Aspects Of A Property Sale In London

Valuation
Firstly, if you are selling, you will require a valuation. We can offer you a free, no obligation factual and accurate appraisal of the current market value of your home. We will provide you with a valuation based not only on our in depth knowledge of the area, 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 floorplans.

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 all viewings will be accompanied by one of our senior negotiators.

For Sales Board – This is the most simple and effective marketing tool, 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 within 24 hours of receiving your instruction.

Website
Our exclusive web site laurenceleigh.com is updated daily and full colour details of your home are placed on our website within 24 hours of being placed on the market. Besides the exposure on our own web site, we will feature your home on both Rightmove, primelocation.com and findaproperty.com.

Advertising
We provide regular prominent advertisement of your property in both the London Property Magazine and the Wood & Vale.

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.

Agreed Sale
At this point (if you have not already done so), you will need to instruct a solicitor and, should you require assistance, we will only be too pleased to recommend local 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, it 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 completion date can be agreed upon for the exchange of contracts.

Completion
Upon the completion date, we will always be on hand to try to ensure the smoothest possible handover of your property to the new purchasers.

Updating on Your Sale
We pride ourselves on our conscientious 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.
