Selling Your Home with House of Hilbre
Selling With Us
Selling your home can feel like a big step - but with us, it doesn’t have to feel daunting.
We offer:
- Clear, fair terms from the start
- Thoughtful marketing that attracts serious buyers
- Weekly updates (not just when you chase)
- Guidance through every legal milestone
Want things to move faster? Ask about our optional SmartMove™ service - designed to keep your sale on track and reduce the chance of fall-throughs.
Here’s how we support your sale
From the first conversation to handing over the keys - we’ll help make the process straightforward, well-supported, and tailored to your needs.
1. Free Valuation & Honest Advice
We’ll visit your home to understand your goals and timelines, then provide a clear, accurate valuation. You’ll also get upfront advice on legal steps and the option to speed things up with our SmartMove™ tools.
2. Preparing to Market
We’ll arrange professional photos, write a compelling listing, and prepare the key documents.
✅ If you’ve chosen SmartMove™, we’ll help prepare a Property Info Pack early - saving time down the line.
3. Viewings Done Right
We’ll handle bookings, give prompt feedback, and ensure your property is shown at its best. We’re respectful of your time and your space.
4. Offers & Negotiation
When offers come in, we’ll talk you through the pros and cons of each - clearly and calmly. You stay in control; we manage the back-and-forth and can use optional tools like Heads of Terms for extra clarity.
Our Offer-Ready Policy
To reduce fall-throughs and keep things moving, we usually keep your property on the market until the buyer is fully ready to proceed.
That means:
✅ Proof of funds or mortgage in principle
✅ Solicitor appointed (or ready to)
✅ A realistic timescale discussed
We call this our Offer-Ready Policy - and most sellers find it gives better results. That said, it’s your move, your call: if you’d rather accept a verbal offer earlier, we’ll support that too - just with eyes open and expectations aligned.
5. Sale Agreed & Instructing Solicitors
Once an offer’s accepted, we’ll issue the paperwork and help both sides instruct their solicitors. Want a local recommendation? We can help - or we’ll work happily with your preferred team.
6. Proactive Conveyancing Support
We don’t disappear after the deal is agreed. We stay in touch with both sets of solicitors, chase where needed, and help resolve issues so your sale stays on track.
7. Exchange of Contracts
Once everything’s agreed and approved, contracts are exchanged and your sale becomes legally binding. We’ll walk you through what to expect next.
8. Completion Day 🎉
The money’s in, the keys are handed over - and your move is complete. We’ll check in to make sure everything went to plan.
Want to plan ahead and avoid common hold-ups?
SmartMove™ is our optional support pack that helps keep your sale on track - with key steps completed early and fewer surprises later.
