Selling to us means more than simply placing an advert on the internet and waiting for the phone to ring; we look at each buyer’s requirements and match buyers to properties that are right for them. Read on to find out what we can do for you to help you find your dream home.
If you are looking to buy a property, whether it’s your first home or you’re looking to move up or down the property ladder, your first priority should be to seek financial advice.
If you need a mortgage, finding out how much you can borrow and how much you can afford, before you start the house-hunting process will help give you a much clearer picture of the type of property you should be looking for and help avoid possible disappointment should you fall in love with a property that is unobtainable financially.
Curchods Mortgage Services offer a range of mortgage broker services, we can look at the whole of market, including a few lending options that are not available on the High Street to help you find the right financial product for your needs.
We sell many properties that never appear on the market because our clients have decided to sell on a ‘Discreet Marketing’ basis, preferring to keep details of their home away from public advertising and the internet. For you to be able to find out about these properties you need to register your requirements with us.
For many sellers when deciding to move home there is a chicken or egg moment, is it best to put your home on the market for sale before starting your property search, or do you find somewhere you would like to buy before placing your property on the market?
In the majority of cases it’s only when you have secured a buyer are you actually able to go out and capture your next home. The market will open up more to you and you’ll be in a better position to negotiate. It is incorrect to think that by selling first before you find somewhere to buy that you will somehow be pushed out of your home or be put under pressure to move quickly but that’s just isn’t correct.
A good estate agent (like Curchods) will make your buyers aware that you are yet to find before the sale is agreed, so everyone knows where they stand and the buyers are happy to wait. This approach means buyers are respectful of your timescale and actually benefits buyers as in most cases it gives them a chance to save more deposit while they wait, or put save a little more towards furnishing their new home.
And, since you only pay our fee when the property is sold, attempting to sell your home first will cost you nothing financially if unsuccessful. When you register with us, simply alert us that you have a property to sell and we’ll arrange an up to date market appraisal of your home, this service is free and without obligation.
