Selling your house with us….the process
Step 1. The importance of house valuations
Understanding the current market value of your property is just the beginning of the valuation process. This is also the time for us to learn about your needs and future plans, allowing us to develop a targeted strategy to help you achieve your goals. During this process, we have a unique opportunity to view your home through your perspective, enriched by the personal stories that transform a house into a home. We don’t just assess your property’s value; we provide a comprehensive current market appraisal, including its position in the market, what is actually selling locally, and at what price.
At Silver Tree Estate Agents, we can also offer advice on ways to maximize your property’s potential, which, if implemented, could enhance its value. The valuation is one of the most crucial early steps in the process of selling your home.

When selecting an estate agent, it’s essential to find one that fits you and your property’s needs.

Step 3. Instructing a solicitor to convey
Selecting the right solicitor can significantly enhance the process of selling your home. They play a crucial role in advancing your sale, resolving any issues that may arise, and providing guidance on the legal aspects of the transaction. We can recommend solicitors who have successfully worked with our previous clients and whom we believe deliver the high level of service you deserve.
Step 4. Presenting Your Property
Buyers seek a property they can envision as their home, and the presentation of your home significantly influences their first impressions. Outdated décor may imply that the property requires work, while a cluttered room can suggest limited space, and a sparsely furnished room might feel uninviting. The key is to achieve a show home appearance with small, warm touches. Our team is always available to share expert tips and advice.
Step 5. Marketing your Property
What makes a property irresistible? Standing out from the local competition is crucial. By focusing on the details—like stunning photographs, captivating property descriptions, and precise floor plans—we can capture a buyer’s interest. We create distinctive listings on the main property portal, Rightmove. complemented by targeted marketing campaigns. By investing in advertising in areas with a proven track record of success, we can reach a wide audience of potential buyers. We excel at converting their interest into viewings.
Step 6. Receiving an Offer
Receiving an offer marks the beginning of a discussion, and our goal is to secure the best possible outcome for you. Consider not only the offer itself but also the buyer’s circumstances. Are they chain-free? Do they have a mortgage arranged, or are they paying in cash? Always evaluate the full context of each offer and buyer; most buyers will initially offer less than they are willing to pay to allow for negotiation.
Step 7. Offer Agreed
Receiving an offer initiates a dialogue, and our aim is to achieve the most favourable result for you. Take into account not just the offer, but also the buyer’s situation. Are they without a property chain? Have they secured a mortgage, or are they offering cash? It’s important to assess the complete picture of both the offer and the buyer; typically, buyers may initially propose less than their maximum to leave room for negotiation.
Step 8. Exchange of Contracts and Completion
When contracts are exchanged, you get the chance to review all terms before your solicitor formally executes them, making them legally enforceable. Once signed, there’s no reversal. Usually, completion occurs a few weeks post contract exchange, though occasionally it may be on the same day. Completion day involves transferring funds, and only after this happens can you hand over the keys and bid farewell to your previous residence.
