Selling your home
You need your sale to go smoothly so it doesn't jeopardise your purchase.
A lot hangs on a sale. You have found your dream home to move to. Your seller may put it back on the market if you can't move quickly. Or perhaps you need to get your children into a new school on time. But it all hinges on your sale going through without a hitch. Hopefully that's where we can help.

Information about selling
How much will it cost?
Estate agents will charge you less if you give them a sole agency. Legal fees for a sale should be slightly lower than the fees for a purchase of the same sort of property and price.
Why you should always use estate agents
The estate agents’ commission will be repaid many times over in eventual sale price and a quicker sale. They bring many benefits to a sale which you can't match.
How to avoid delays - Choose the right buyers
Don't make your selling decision exclusively on price. The money is important, but equally important, if you have linked purchase, is that the buyer will actually perform in time.
