Selling your property

paragraph

Estate Agency

Bringing together buyers and sellers is the heart of our business. We honestly believe that nobody in central Somerset is better placed, or better qualified to deliver this service, which is such an important event in your life. We have offices in the area's three prime locations, unmatched contacts and local knowledge, and a commitment to making the whole process a hassle-free experience.
paragraph

Conveyancing

We will monitor your sale and work with you, your solicitors and any other connected party to drive your conveyancing process forward, keeping you regularly updated.

We have excellent relationships with local firms and can help you to choose the right solicitor and the right package, including a 'no move, no fee' deal with text updates and secure internet tracking of key stages.
paragraph

The Experts in Property

We are part of the The Experts in Property network. That means your property will be marketed not just by our three holland & odam offices in mid-Somerset, but 100 other independent estate agents around the country, including London.

That puts your property in front of many, many more buyers than you'd normally get, creates extra competition for the property you are selling, and ensures that you are in the driving seat when it comes to negotiations.

If you would like to arrange a free, no obligation valuation of your property, please complete the property valuation form and we will contact you as soon as possible.
paragraph

The Guild of Property Professionals

Based in Park Lane, Mayfair, The Guild of Professional Estate Agents (also known as The Guild) is a membership organisation with a national network of approximately 800 independently owned estate agents. Your local Guild Agent has exclusive access to a comprehensive range of tools, training and marketing as well as the latest IT facilities. These additional services enable them to provide you with a unique service to secure you a better result.
paragraph

Independent Mortgage Advice

The choice of mortgages has never been greater on the high street or the internet, but finding the one that matches your precise needs is a time-consuming and frustrating process.

Our independent financial adviser, Woodward Insurance & Mortgage Services, will not only identify lender and type of mortgage that is best for you, they will also do the legwork and the paperwork, leaving you to get on with all the other important things going on in your life at this time.
paragraph

Advertising

Each week, we continue to use local advertising in the Central Somerset Gazette, Wells and Shepton Journals. This allows us to offer you a more frequent and wider coverage, appealing to local buyers, actively looking and motivated to move. Many other agents have stopped but we still believe people are drawn to a newspaper.
paragraph

Energy Performance Certificate

You will require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) in order to sell your property. Don't worry - we can help with this. We work with local Energy Assessors and we can commission your EPC at a favourable rate.

paragraph

If you have money in savings or shares, make sure you can access them easily and that there aren't any fixed timelines to withdrawal. If you need a mortgage call o ur independent financial adviser, Woodward Insurance & Mortgage Services, will not only identify lender and type of mortgage that is best for you, they will also do the legwork and the paperwork, leaving you to get on with all the other important things going on in your life at this time.
paragraph

Offer Making

Once we've found a property for you that you like, discuss with us the offer you would like to make. We will ask you to confirm how you intend to fund the purchase of your property and availability of the deposit (usually 10% of purchase price). If you already have a mortgage arranged, we will ask you to provide an agreement in principle (AIP) document and we will require the details of your financial advisor so that we can clarify the time frame that will be involved for processing your application. If you are buying without a mortgage (a 'cash buyer') you will also need to provide evidence of finance.
paragraph

What happens next.....
paragraph

the survey

If you are buying with a mortgage, a survey of the property will be booked by a surveyor on behalf of the mortgage lender. This is to protect their interests by valuing the property and highlighting any major defects that would negatively affect the security of their loan.
paragraph

the mortgage offer

Once your mortgage lender has received the survey report and are satisfied the loan amount is realistic given the valuation, they will issue a mortgage offer to your solicitor.
paragraph

the conveyancing

Once an offer has been agreed between you and the seller, we will contact each party's solicitors to confirm the details of the sale. Offers are not legally binding until contracts have been exchanged. From now until exchange, you will need to be in close communication with your solicitor and our Sale Progression Manager will also be in regular contact with you and your solicitor, as well as the sellers and their solicitor, and the solicitor of any other people in your chain to make sure that your purchase goes through and on time.
paragraph

exchange of contracts

Exchanging contracts is the moment when the sale becomes legally binding on both sides. You can only exchange once you have paid a cleared deposit (usually 10% of the purchase price) to your solicitor's account. Your solicitor will tell you and us when contracts have been exchanged. The completion date is then set by mutual agreement and is also contractually binding.

Wells Office

Introduction

The Wells Office opened its doors in January 2003 having had previous incarnations as a hairdressers and ladies underwear shop (Marys as many will remember!) The prominent high street position and elegantly curved windows provide a great show case for our properties and made it the ideal choice within the city.
