Selling

Our process is simple but effective

We understand that every area, every property and every client are different, so Highcastle Estates focuses on delivering an exceptional, personal yet still professional service to each and every one of our clients.

If you’re looking for a company to serve you with passion and enthusiasm along with local expertise, then you can trust Highcastle Estates to sell your home!

1. We arrange a valuation appointment where we will give you a correct valuation for your property.
2. When you are happy with our services and the valuation, you can sign our terms and conditions and also provide us with your ID to instruct us.
3. We arrange a professional photographer to take photos and to create a detailed floorplan.
4. An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is required, so if you don’t have an EPC, we can arrange for this.
5. Once you give us access to keys, we can start organising viewings through advertising on our portals, social media and contact potential buyers on our extensive database.
6. All offers we receive are forwarded to you in writing along with any information required.
7. Once you happily accept an offer and the buyer has instructed a solicitor, we take the property off the market!
8. As you will need a reliable solicitor for conveyancing. Highcastle Estates can provide you with experienced solicitors in the property field. This process is a key part of the process and can take some time. To make this a smooth process, please ensure you provide all information fully to any queries raised.
9. Thereafter we then can agree on a completion date which is acceptable to both you and the buyer.
10. You will have then received the contract. Please ensure you read it thoroughly and return this to your solicitor.
11. The buyer then pays the deposit and your solicitor will contact you to confirm the completion date and will request permission to exchange contracts! Ensure you
    contact your utility providers and take meter readings before you leave the property.
12. As soon as your solicitor has informed you that the sale in now complete, you can drop all the sets of keys you have for the property to Highcastle Estates for the new owners to collect!
