A quick guide to selling

Step 1

Market Appraisal 

Begin by getting your property valued by us. We know about property sales in Croydon and always keep our finger on the pulse of the market.
At Livin, we use our local expertise to provide you with an honest and realistic price for your property. We’ll discuss the timescale for your sale and the best marketing strategy to suit your needs.

Step 2

Preparing & Marketing your home

Having received your market appraisal in writing and, provided you are satisfied with it, we will then proceed to prepare full sales particulars for your property. It’s always a good idea to declutter the property and spruce it up before we take pictures. If it will not be too much hassle for you then we recommend adding a fresh coat of paint where needed, investigating and repairing any cracks and renewing old bathroom seals. These small touches can make all the difference to a prospective buyer’s first impressions.
To create the best “kerb appeal” for your property, tidy up outdoor spaces by weeding your front garden and jet washing the patio. You can also give worn out window sills a fresh lick of paint and have your windows cleaned.

Step 3

Launch

Once you have seen and approved our particulars of your property, it will be placed on our website along with all the other property portals we use such as Rightmove and Zoopla as well as social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook. We will also proactively market your property to our database of qualified buyers who always appreciate receiving our calls regarding a new listing that matches their requirements.

Another effective marketing tool is to utilise our stylish For Sale boards. This traditional advertising method has always generated quality enquiries and is a great visual reference for local buyers. Our aim is to widely expose your property to the market to increase the opportunity of reaching the largest selection of buyers and ultimately achieve the best price for you.

Step 4

Viewings

Before any viewings take place we’ll ensure we have learnt everything there is to know about your property. Our marketing will get people through the door but our passion and expertise at the viewing are what will get your property sold. All viewings will be accompanied by us.

Step 5

Offers and agreeing the sales

This is where things start to get a little bit more exciting! We will reconfirm the buyer’s purchasing position to ensure nothing has changed since their initial registration with us. We will then work with you to negotiate the best price before accepting an offer and agreeing on the sale.

Step 6

Conveyancing and & progressing the sale

Our recommended solicitors can take care of all the legal work for you whilst we focus on the progression of your sale; we will keep you updated every step of the way so you can relax and count down the days until you hand over those keys.

Step 7

Exchanging contracts and completion day

Once you’re happy with the contracts (or contract) you’ll sign and exchange them. The money will change hands and the deeds will be transferred into the buyer’s name.

Selling a property that’s part of a probate estate

To sell a property that’s part of a probate estate, the first step is to secure a ‘Grant of Probate.’ This document legally verifies the Will and grants the named executor the authority to manage and sell the property. It’s important to be aware that obtaining the Grant of Probate can take upwards of 12 weeks, which should be considered when planning your sale. One of the requirements for applying for the Grant of Probate is getting a valuation of the deceased’s property.

This valuation must reflect the property’s worth at the time of the owner’s passing, rather than its current market value.We can assist by researching and comparing sale prices of similar properties in the area from that period, which will allow us to create an accurate valuation report. This information will also be useful in communicating the property’s true value to any beneficiaries.

Additionally, it’s a good idea to verify the property’s title with the Land Registry at this stage. Your solicitor can help identify any potential restrictions or issues that could impact the sale. Once these legalities are in order, selling a probate property can be more straightforward than you might think. Many buyers find probate properties attractive because they are often chain-free, offering more flexible timelines. Additionally, developers frequently see them as prime candidates for renovation projects.
