SELLING
Selling your home can be stressful so it is important to choose an agent you can trust who will make this process as smooth as possible. We at Hunters, aim to eliminate the stress and make the experience as easy as possible.

What to Do Next
Buying or selling a home? Do you require a valuation? Please contact us for advice or fill in the Valuation Form

In the meantime, here are a few guidelines which we hope will assist:

VALUATION
Firstly, you will require a valuation. At Hunters we can offer you a free, no obligation, factual and accurate appraisal of the current market value of your home. Our experienced property valuers will provide you with a valuation based not only on their in depth knowledge of Barnet and surrounding areas, but also utilising our extensive database of recent properties sold.

INSTRUCTION OF THE AGENT/PROPERTY DETAILS
Having received your valuation, and provided that you are satisfied with it, we will then proceed to prepare full sales details of your property. Bearing in mind the importance of presentation, we will ensure that your sales details highlight the vitally important aspects of your property and ensure that your home is shown to its best possible advantage with the aid of full colour photographs.

MARKETING
Appointments to view your property are made by our sales team and accompanied viewings are recommended to show prospective buyers around your home. We will then be able to pass on feedback and comments made to you

FOR SALES BOARD - This is the most simple and effective marketing tool, available 24 hours a day.

OFFICE AND WINDOW DISPLAY – Photographs of your property will be prominently displayed in our stylish premises in order to optimise exposure to the market place.

EMAIL AND SMS – Wherever possible, all prospective buyers who register with us are asked to provide mobile phone numbers and email addresses in order to ensure that they are notified of any new properties as soon as possible within 24 hours of receiving your instruction.

MAIL SHOTS  (and telesales) -  We will contact registered prospective buyers as soon as possible after receiving your instruction and your details will be forwarded to any new registered buyers immediately.

WEBSITE – This is updated daily and full colour details of your home are placed on our website within 24 hours of being placed on the market.

Besides the exposure on our own site, Hunters is also affiliated with the following national property websites which will feature your home:

ADVERTISING – We provide extensive prominent advertisement of your property in the most well known and popular publications to ensure that your home is fully marketed and reaches a maximum target audience

UPDATING ON YOUR SALE – At Hunters, we pride ourselves on our conscientious sales management. We aim to keep you  appraised of your sales process right through to completion and liaise with your purchaser, the legal representatives, surveyors and mortgage lenders in order to ensure that your sale is progressed as smoothly and as stress-free as possible.

OFFERS – Any offers we receive are promptly verbally notified and then followed up in writing. Our competent sales team will negotiate between you and your prospective purchaser. 

We will inform you of the position of the buyers and liaise with you until an accepted offer has been agreed.

AGREED SALE – At this point (if you have not already done so), you will need to instruct a solicitor and, should you require assistance, we will only be too pleased to recommend a number of local firms and correspond with all parties enclosing a sales memorandum.

The solicitors will then write to all parties and the buyers will instruct a surveyor to conduct a survey of your property (the 'agreed sale' is subject to the contract and any survey) and the buyers’ mortgage offer (if required) will also be subject to the results of the survey.

The sellers’ solicitors will request the title deeds from the lender (if appropriate) or yourselves as the seller and the fixtures and fittings form must be completed at this stage.

The solicitors draw up the draft contract which sets of the Terms of the Sale and sends it to the buyers’ solicitor together with all relevant documents. Any enquiries will then be raised, the Title Deeds and Lease (if applicable) will be checked and local searches carried out.

Once the draft contracts have been approved, it can be signed by both parties.

EXCHANGE OF CONTRACTS – As long as the mortgage offer has been received and cleared funds placed with your buyer’s solicitor, a mutually convenient date can be agreed upon for the exchange of contracts.

COMPLETION: Completion usually follows a few days or weeks after exchange of contracts. The balance of the purchase price is transferred by the buyer’s solicitor to the seller’s solicitor after which the keys released.
