We offer a complimentary, no obligation home valuation.

Now you know your property’s current value, now is the time to speak with an expert mortgage who can guide you through purchasing a new home.

We aim to give you as much availability to conduct viewings as possible. We can also organise your EPC (Energy Performance Certificate), just get in touch with your local branch to sort this out or call us on 01304 626 444. You must have commissioned an EPC before your property can go on the market.

Presenting your property is essential as first impressions count. You should consider addressing any jobs you have been meaning to get done, add a fresh coat of paint where applicable and ensure your rooms are empty from clutter. Once you’re happy with the presentation of your property our photographers will take photographs and we will produce floorplans as well as a comprehensive description

Your property needs maximum exposure across all forms of media to help find a perfect buyer. Once you’ve instructed Miles & Barr to sell your property you’ll benefit from exposure on our modern website, full colour property details, email alerts and have a branch behind you with a wealth of experience.

We will be on hand at your property for all your viewings within our working hours. This way any questions from potential buyers are answered immediately and provide you with advice when required.

Once an offer is received, we will let you know in writing and verbally. You will be made aware of any conditions of the offer, and we will also check the buyer is able to proceed before you decide whether or not to accept the offer.

Upon your acceptance of an offer, we will follow up with these steps:

  • Write to all parties to confirm the agreed price
  • Prepare the memorandum of the sale

The solicitor will send a draft contract to the buyer’s solicitor who will then carry out the survey on your property, exchange the contracts and the proposed completion date. We will continue to give you advice at this stage and negotiate on your behalf where necessary, keeping you informed with each step. There are no legal obligations until contracts are signed.

The following steps must have been confirmed and agreed before the exchange of contracts can occur:

  • Preliminary enquiries following receipt of draft contract
  • Evidence of a good title
  • Specific issues have been highlighted in the lease where applicable
  • Local search queries
  • Fixtures and fittings to be included in the sale
  • The buyer’s mortgage offer

Once the contract has been signed by all parties involved the deposit will be paid. The completion date will then be agreed by mutual consent.

Completion occurs when the residual monies, (usually around 90%), are transferred from your buyer’s solicitor to your solicitor’s account. Your solicitor will call you when the money has cleared into your account, and we will then be informed to release the keys and you will have completed the sale of your property.

Finamply, with access to a vast network of over 90 lenders, carries out a thorough assessment of your needs and circumstances. Their expert team then conducts research to find you the best mortgage deal available in the market to fit your personal circumstances. Once you are satisfied with their recommendation, Finamply secures a Decision in Principle (DIP) for you. This DIP serves as an assurance from the lender, indicating their willingness to provide you with the mortgage, pending a property valuation and underwriting to confirm the accuracy of the information given regarding your personal circumstances.

* A DIP does not completely guarantee the lender will loan the requested amount. All applications are subject to full underwriting process.
