If you decide to sell or let your property, you will naturally have a lot of questions. Our expert staff are happy to advise you through the process but in the meantime, why not take a look at our frequently asked questions?

On average, it takes about 3 months from putting the property on the market to completion; however, depending on the status of the seller and buyer, the timings may vary.

Estate Agent Fees will either be a percentage of the purchase price, or a fixed fee. When estate agents visit to value your home, make sure they outline their fees so you can take these into account.

It is a legal requirement to have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to market your property.  Ace Property Finder can organise one for you or you can arrange your own.

How do viewings work?

If you’re selling through an estate agent, they will organise all viewings on your behalf. This can be very beneficial as they deal with any difficult questions.

How long will it take to complete my sale?

Every sale is different. Both your position and the buyer’s position needs to be taken into account before this question can be answered accurately. If your home has been realistically valued, you should expect to receive offers within the first four weeks. Then, assuming your buyer has to apply for their mortgage, the exchange of contracts normally takes between 4 and 6 weeks and then completion is between 2 and 4 weeks later. So in total you should expect 12-14 weeks to complete the sale.

No. The buyer is responsible for paying Stamp Duty.

We will let you know about all offers by phone and in writing. If the offer is not acceptable to you then we will do everything we can to negotiate an offer you are happy with.

It is in both our best interests that we obtain the maximum sale price and we work hard on your behalf to achieve the maximum price possible. We qualify all potential purchasers, so that you can make an informed decision regarding any offers put forward.

We advise you to instruct a solicitor once your property is on the market and before your buyer is found. This will allow your solicitor time to prepare all legal documents, in preparation for your sale and will help shorten the process between agreeing a sale and completion.

Our fees work on a no sale no fee basis and only at the point of exchange of contracts do our fees become binding, they are due once completion has taken place.
