We pride ourselves on providing our clients with individual, high quality advice and service based on the wealth of experience of our local dedicated teams, so we’re honoured that you have chosen to work with us to sell your property. We love what we do, and with over 400 combined years of selling experience, we know what’s needed to sell your home.
Below, you will find a step-by-step guide to support you through the process of selling your home.
In today's market, having exceptional professional photographs is critical to the marketing of your home. When prospective buyers are looking at properties online, or in estate agent’s particulars, they often decide if they are interested in viewing in a matter of moments.
Preparing your property for photos will help it to look the best it can, resulting in more interest in your advert. This could then lead to higher offers and a quicker sale.
Click the preparing your home button below to see the relatively easy steps you can take to prepare your home for professional photography and help make a fantastic first impression.
Alongside best-in-class photography, a standout advert is essential to ensure your property gets noticed. Our marketing team crafts each listing to highlight the unique qualities of your home, presenting it clearly and attractively with easy-to-read floorplans.
Once approved, your property will be launched on our website and leading portals including Zoopla, Rightmove and OnTheMarket. Through our global network, homes may also be promoted on international platforms, connecting you with a wider pool of buyers.
Because every property is unique, our approach is always bespoke. Alongside professional photography, floorplans and tailored descriptions, we also use targeted social media campaigns, email marketing, branch window displays, carefully selected press placements and videography or drone photography where appropriate.
For some luxury homes, discretion is just as important as exposure. Clients may therefore choose an off-market sale, giving access to our network of qualified UK and international buyers.
Our Country & Village Homes division provides a more tailored, discreet approach for exceptional properties.
When it comes to selling a property, careful preparation can make a significant difference, not only in how quickly your home sells, but also in achieving the best possible price.
You’ve already prepared your home for the photography, so when it comes to viewings, follow the same steps seen in the previous ‘Preparing for Market’ section, whilst also considering this one final step:
Freshen up the air:
Smell is powerful and often overlooked. Open windows before viewings, avoid strong cooking smells, remove bins and pet odours and consider subtle, neutral scents (nothing overpowering).
A fresh, well-ventilated home feels clean and cared for, something every buyer values.
Preparing thoroughly for viewings can significantly improve your chances of securing the offer you want. By creating a clean, bright and welcoming environment, you help potential buyers picture themselves calling your house their home.
Receiving an offer on your property is an exciting milestone. As your estate agent, we will ensure the offer is financially qualified with our in-house mortgage broker to ensure the offer has had full substantiation. We will guide you through a response to the buyer, whether that’s accepting, rejecting, or making a counteroffer.
Our expertise in selling homes in your local area ensures that we present the offer to you in full, taking into account not just the price, but also the buyer’s position, any conditions, timelines and potential contingencies.
Once both buyer and seller have agreed on the terms, the legal process begins, including surveys, contracts and solicitors’ involvement, helping to move the sale smoothly toward completion.
Selling a home requires patience, and the process is rarely as straightforward as it seems. At Durden & Hunt, our dedicated sales progression team helps keep transactions moving for the benefit of both buyers and sellers. Here are our top tips for achieving a smoother sale.
At the start of the sale, complete the property information and fittings forms promptly so your solicitor can send the contract pack to the buyer’s solicitor. You should also be prepared to provide ID checks in a timely manner. Durden & Hunt can recommend trusted solicitors where needed.
If you have made alterations, include planning permissions and relevant certificates with the property information form. Providing these early reduces enquiries from the buyer’s solicitor and helps speed up the sale process.
Provide any existing guarantees with your property information form, such as new home warranties or damp-proofing guarantees. Preparing documents early saves time and helps keep the legal process moving smoothly.
Buyers and sellers must agree a completion date before exchange. Discuss timing early and inform your agent and solicitor of any preferences or restrictions. Planning ahead avoids last-minute negotiations and helps keep your sale progressing smoothly.
