The Selling Process
The process of selling, from having an initial valuation to moving to your new home, can often be a traumatic one!
The partners at Burghleys have literally decades of experience in dealing with the ups and downs of selling, as well as handling hundreds of transactions in good, bad and indifferent property markets.
You will be guaranteed a high standard of service with the focus on giving individual client attention at all times.

Valuing your Home
One of the resident working partners only will value your home FREE OF CHARGE AND WITHOUT OBLIGATION.
As well as giving guidance as to legal issues, timing, the services available, preparation for marketing, etc., Burghleys will provide a valuation and suggested asking price on the spot, and will provide comparable supporting evidence of similar properties that have sold (or not sold) recently in your local area.

No sale, No Fee
Burghleys will discuss their fee structure with you before commencing marketing. They currently offer extremely competitive rates on both sole agency and multiple agency terms. Whichever you choose, if Burghleys are unable to sell your property for you, there will be absolutely no fees to pay!

Instructions to Sell
If instructed to proceed, Burghleys will arrange for high quality internal and external photos to be taken of your property together with internal floor plans. It will be necessary for you to complete various documentation which will be required by Burghleys to comply with current legislation, and to assist in ensuring the marketing of your property is as smooth as possible.
It is recommended that you contact your solicitor at this point, to advise him/her that you have placed your property on the market.

Keeping you informed
Estate Agents are often accused of not keeping their clients informed of what’s happening - whether it be feedback from viewings, responses to adverts or reasons for no viewings! Whatever the case, one of Burghleys underlying principles is to keep in regular contact with its clients.

Dealing with Offers
In the happy event of an offer being put forward on your property, this will be dealt with by one of the partners only. Burghleys recognise that when dealing with probably a home owners most valuable asset, it is imperative negotiations are undertaken by experienced personnel.
Always remembering they act for you, Burghleys will give best advise and recommendations with regards to the offer. Unlike many agents, they will thoroughly check the potential purchasers suitability, financial circumstances, speed of transaction and chain details.

Pre Contract Work
If you have accepted the offer, and stipulated your conditions of sale through us to your prospective purchaser, Burghleys will confirm details of the sale in writing, subject to contract to all parties concerned.
This will include writing to your appointed solicitor who will progress all the legal paperwork for you. If you are buying a property yourselves, Burghleys will liase with the chain above (normally through the agent you are buying from).
Burghleys will monitor and progress the transaction for you, by keeping in regular contact with your purchaser and their solicitor, your solicitor, mortgage brokers and all other parties, both directly and indirectly, up and down the property chain.
Burghleys will keep you regularly informed as to how matters are proceeding, and make recommendations as appropriate.
