THE RAMRE PROPERTY GUIDES
Selling your property
Prepare, price and present your property with confidence.
Define your priorities
Decide whether timing, price certainty or flexibility matters most. A realistic sales plan should account for an existing tenant, outstanding finance, your next property and the time you need to prepare. Tell your agent about any restrictions early.
Assemble a useful property file
Prepare the ownership information, layout, service-charge details, maintenance history and tenancy information if applicable. Note upgrades and whether they have the necessary approvals. Share private documents through an agreed secure route rather than public listing messages.
Review the asking price
Discuss comparable properties with similar size, condition, location and occupancy. Asking prices and completed transactions are different signals. Consider competing supply and the practical terms you can offer. A valuation discussion should explain assumptions, not promise a guaranteed selling price.
Make the viewing worthwhile
Resolve small maintenance issues, clear unnecessary clutter and arrange accurate, well-lit photographs. Provide an honest description of what is included. Agree the notice needed for viewings and respect any tenant arrangements. Keep a record of recurring buyer feedback.
Assess offers as a whole
Compare the offered price alongside proof of funding, finance conditions, proposed deposit and the completion timetable. Ask for clear written terms and understand cancellation or default provisions. Avoid treating a verbal offer as a completed transaction.
Complete and hand over
Coordinate any required lender or developer steps with the relevant professionals. The DLD sale-registration route and current requirements should be checked for the specific property. At handover, record keys, access cards, meter readings and any agreed fixtures so both parties understand what has been delivered.
