Your questions answered...

When you decide to sell your house, you have to balance a number of different considerations. For example, you have to know what your property is worth, and what you can reasonably expect to get for it; how much time you have to sell it and how flexible you can afford to be over offers.

Selling a house can be a tricky business, and it's crucial you make all the right moves to make the procedure as straightforward as possible. That's where the professional expertise of the South Forrest Property Service can make all the difference.

Choose the South Forrest solicitor route, and you can hand over the complex business of selling your house to the experts. Here's how we provide a helping hand:

Inspection
Your house is inspected by experienced staff. We discuss the details of the property, the viewing arrangements and the marketing strategy with you. One of our solicitors obtains and checks your title deeds and is ready to deal quickly with any offers.


A flying start

Price
Your asking price must neither undersell or overprice your property. We have experience in selling hundreds of properties, enjoy computerised access to the sales records of the Highlands Solicitors Property Centre - the largest database of property sales in the region - and have extensive knowledge of current market trends. All these factors help us to value your house accurately and position it correctly in the marketplace.

Advertising
We suggest the most suitable form of advertising, taking your budget into account. We have negotiated advertising rates with some newspapers.

Highland Solicitors Property Centre
Your association with South Forrest means you have access to the Solicitors Property Centre, part of a national network that is only open to properties being sold by solicitors. When we register your home with the Highland Solicitors Property Centre it is included on their very busy website www.hspc.co.uk and in their all colour fortnightly magazine "The Property Review" for as long as it takes to sell your home*.

* A re-registration fee is payable after one year.

Enquiries and Feedback
We take the time to deal with any inquiries, so that potential purchasers have the information they need to make an informed decision. We follow up viewers and give you regular feedback on your sale.

Negotiations
This is the most sensitive area of the sale, and our experience and expertise will count. When you are faced with decisions about whether or not to accept a lower offer with an earlier entry date, or an offer subject to survey, or whether or not you should fix a closing date, you'll find there is no substitute for our negotiating skills.

Missives
Once you have received and agreed an offer in principle, the conditions must be negotiated and accepted in writing before there can be a binding contract. This correspondence, called "missives", is carried out on your behalf by your solicitor. If the negotiations break down for some reason and the sale falls through, you are covered by our No Sale, No Fee guarantee, although, as you would expect, there will be some outlays to meet.

Titles
Once you have a binding contract to sell your house, we carry out all the necessary legal work so that the house title is transferred into the purchaser's name, your mortgage is repaid and cleared from the Land Register, and any necessary searches are conducted.

How much does it cost?
We charge a 1% estate agency commission (minimum £400) and outlays. We also offer a discount on conveyancing fees for clients using our estate agency service.
