Advice to Sellers

  • paragraph

    Creative thinking works in today's market.

    There's no right way to sell, but there are a few simple rules:

    · Market your property whilst searching for your next home - it could put you in the best position when your ideal property becomes available.

    · Present your home well. Remove clutter where you can, tend to your grounds, even tidy the garage or shed, but refurbishment before selling isn't always the right choice. Good early decisions will save you time and money.

    · Consider offers carefully. We'll help you sift through the pros and cons to reach the best decisions. Purchasers see the positives during accompanied viewings and open days - a DIY approach rarely secures the best buyer.

    · Be ready to exchange contracts as soon as you can to secure a legal commitment. We'll help smooth over any delays in the legal process to keep your buyers on side.

    There's no substitute for quick, impartial feedback and guidance from trusted professionals.

Additional Services

    Auctions
    Auctions are a tried and tested way of buying and selling property. In order to appeal to as wide a market as possible, DOMVS is offering two different types of auction.

    Traditional Auction

    On the fall of the gavel, the successful bidder pays a 10% deposit and is legally bound to buy the property. Completion is within 28 days. The seller is also legally bound to sell. This type of auction favours cash buyers and investors.

    Auction Plus

    The successful bidder pays a non-refundable deposit of £3,500 on the fall of the gavel, and agrees to complete within a maximum 42 days. Under this scheme, the buyer has the option to withdraw within 28 days.

    If you are looking to buy and your home is under offer with exchange of contracts imminently anticipated, this auction is ideal for you as it enables you to bid against cash buyers. For sellers, it opens up the auction to a wider audience and creates a livelier bidding environment.

    DOMVS will help you determine which auction is best for you.

    In the first instance, a negotiator from our Residential Sales department will appraise your house and circumstances. If an auction is the best option, we will put you in touch with our auctioneer who will be pleased to answer all your queries.

    Testimonials from Buyers

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Domvs are hands down the best
      We purchased our home through Domvs and we were so utterly impressed by the service we received from Polly and the rest of the team, that we instructed Domvs to sell another property we had. Domvs are hands down the best, in our view, because they truly do care about their customers and they operate with the greatest of integrity, sensitivity, displaying immaculate attention to detail, from the initial meeting, photographs and brochure preparation, to their excellent online and print-based marketing. Their commitment to us as customers was consistent and unwavering. They even tirelessly chased other estate agents and solicitors for our purchase and sale. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Domvs to anyone looking to sell their property. Domvs are the best Estate Agents we've ever dealt with in over 20 years of buying and selling properties. - Mr and Mrs J Franklin

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Very polite and professional 
      Our viewing was handled very well. Your representative was at the property to meet us early and was very polite and professional. All our questions were dealt with in a very timely manner and in a positive way. We were kept more informed by Domvs than by the agents selling our property. We were very impressed with the service from all the staff especially considering we were not the client Mr and Mrs Hill

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Friendly and approachable from the start
      Friendly and approachable from the start; a professional yet informal manner which we liked. Domvs worked well with the solicitor and always kept the ball rolling keeping us well-informed. Thank you! Mrs Turnbull
