Your Selling Journey

9 steps to a successful sale

Our structured approach ensures nothing is left to chance. Here is exactly what to expect when you sell with Option Estates.

01

Initial Consultation

We begin with a comprehensive property valuation and a detailed discussion of our services. Our experienced team will visit your property, assess its market value, and outline a tailored strategy to achieve the best possible price.

02

Marketing Strategy

Your property will be showcased with professional photography, immersive virtual tours, and detailed floor plans. We list on all major portals including Rightmove and Zoopla, alongside targeted social media campaigns to maximise exposure.

03

Viewings

We handle all aspects of scheduling and conducting viewings, offering both in-person accompanied viewings and virtual tour options. Every viewing is followed up promptly to gather feedback and maintain momentum.

04

Receiving Offers

All offers are collected, carefully analysed, and presented to you with our professional recommendation. We negotiate on your behalf to secure the strongest possible position for your sale.

05

Accepting an Offer

Once you are satisfied with an offer, we issue written confirmation to all parties. We assist with the appointment of solicitors and ensure all necessary documentation is in order to proceed smoothly.

06

Sales Progression

We prepare the memorandum of sale and act as the central point of liaison between you, the buyer, solicitors, and mortgage lenders. Our dedicated sales progression team keeps everything on track.

07

Exchange of Contracts

This is the stage where any final negotiations are concluded, the buyer pays a 10% deposit, and contracts are exchanged. At this point, the sale becomes legally binding for both parties.

08

Completion

On the agreed completion date, the remaining funds are transferred from the buyer's solicitor to yours. Keys are handed over and the property officially changes ownership. Congratulations!

09

Post-Sale Support

Our service doesn't end at completion. We collect feedback, securely store all documentation for your records, and remain available should you need any assistance in the future.
