Selling a home

Selling up is a big decision with a lot of moving parts. We’ll walk you through what to expect and how to get the best outcome.

How selling works, in plain English

Selling typically starts with valuing your property and choosing an estate agent, followed by marketing, viewings, negotiating offers, and instructing a solicitor to handle the legal side through to completion.

Being prepared — paperwork, presentation, and pricing — makes for a smoother sale.
