Selling your Home

Selling your home can be a stressful time, so it's important to choose an Agent you are confident will make the process as smooth as possible.  At Pincombes we pride ourselves on our service and go the extra mile to ensure your moving experience is remembered for all the right reasons, as these Reviews from past Clients show: https://www.pincombes.co.uk/testimonials

NEXT STEPS - Do you require a valuation? Please contact us for advice or fill in the valuation request.

MARKETING APPRAISAL   - Firstly, if you are selling, you will require a valuation.  At Pincombes we offer a free, no obligation appraisal of the current market value of your home. Gerald has over 30 years experience in the local property market and will provide you with a Market Appraisal based not only on his in depth knowledge of Torquay and 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 property details of your home. Bearing in mind the importance of presentation, we will ensure that your details highlight the vitally important aspects of your property and that your home is shown to its best possible advantage.

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 always accompanied, unless otherwise agreed with yourselves and we offer out of office hours Viewing appointments to ensure maximum flexibility for all parties.

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 market place.

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 – This is updated daily and full colour details of your home are available to view 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

UPDATING ON YOUR SALE – At Pincombes, 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.

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, 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 Fixture 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, Pincombe's 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 date can be agreed upon for the exchange of contracts.

COMPLETION – The completion and your actual house move and take between 7 to 28 days depending on the buyers, sellers and their respective solicitors.
