Your Property, Step By Step
From valuation to completion, we guide you through every stage of selling your home.
Eight Steps To Completion
When you sell with Marlborough Homes, we take you through a tailored plan covering everything from valuation to completion. Here's what to expect at each stage.
01
Property Valuation
We assess your home's market value based on location, condition, comparable sales, transport links, and current market conditions. We'll also advise on any improvements that could increase your chances of selling.
02
Instruct a Solicitor
A skilled solicitor is essential to a smooth sale. We're happy to recommend an experienced local solicitor if you need one.
03
Marketing Your Property
We use professional photography, our extensive buyer network, local publications, property portals (Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket), SMS alerts, and email updates to maximise exposure. We also offer feature property marketing to stand out.
04
Arrange Viewings
We coordinate viewings that suit both you and potential buyers, and we accompany viewings wherever possible to showcase your home effectively.
05
Receive an Offer
Once an offer arrives, we notify you verbally and in writing, outline any special conditions, and verify the buyer's ability to proceed before you decide.
06
Agree Terms & Prepare Sale
After you accept an offer, we prepare a memorandum of sale, confirm the price with all parties, and coordinate with your solicitor on contract drafts, surveys, and key dates.
07
Exchange of Contracts
Once preliminary enquiries, title evidence, lease details, local searches, and the buyer's mortgage offer are confirmed, contracts are signed by both parties. The buyer's deposit (usually 10%) is transferred, and the completion date is set.
08
Completion
The buyer's solicitor transfers the remaining funds (usually 90%) to your solicitor. Once cleared, we release the keys and you receive your proceeds.
