    Selling With Harris, Parkes & Drake

    • paragraph

      When buying and selling a property we have all heard about the problems with long chains and sales falling through at the last hurdle. Thankfully, this only happens to a small percentage of our customers because at Harris, Parkes & Drake we go to great lengths to minimise any risk to your house sale.

      From the outset we will thoroughly check with our prospective buyer's solicitor and estate agent to find out how advanced their own sale is and if there are any other transactions beyond this. We will also check their mortgage arrangements. It could be that our buyer does not have a property to sell, but in both cases we will continually monitor the situation and report back to you. Only when we have carefully collated the right information can we recommend an offer to you for your consideration.

      Building Survey

      This is a much more detailed assessment of the property than the Homebuyers Report and is often recommended for much older properties, or those of unconventional construction or features (such as a thatched roof). The surveyor will seek to look at all parts that are easily accessible or visible, in order to assess the structure and condition of the property.

      You should be warned that this type of report can be very detailed, and will aim to identify every possible defect. The contents of the report should therefore be discussed with your surveyor, and considered in the context of its age and market value - no property is perfect, and the price agreed may well already reflect its condition.

      How do I obtain a survey?

      If you are applying for a mortgage, your mortgage consultant can usually organise a survey to be carried out alongside the mortgage valuation. Find your local office and speak to one of our mortgage consultants or estate agency staff.

      Alternatively please call our team directly, we will be able to provide:

      • Property Valuations
      • Home Condition Reports
      • Home Buyer Reports
      • Building Surveys
      • Energy Performance Certificates for residential, commercial or new build properties

    • service

      Conveyancing

      We can highly recommend our specialist conveyancer, who will work on your behalf, liaising with all parties such as the mortgage lender to ensure that your sale is completed on time.

      Our clients, once they have made the decision to market their home, instruct our recommended conveyancing company as soon as possible. This action allows your legal representatives to start work immediately on the sale of your home preparing papers so, as soon as Harris, Parkes & Drake find you a buyer, the transaction can move swiftly forward.

    • service

      Home Insurance
      As a condition of your mortgage offer, you will need to arrange buildings insurance. We are able to provide you with competitive home insurance quotations, which not only satisfy the mortgage lender's requirements, they will also provide you with excellent levels of cover
