Selling your home

Providing shelter for you and your family represents one of the biggest purchases you are likely to make during the course of your lifetime. Selling your home can be a very anxious time but, with the help of this guide, BHP Home can make it a little easier...

How much is your home worth?

Keep an eye on estate agents? windows to see whether many properties are selling locally and which price range is most popular. You should have a rough idea what your home is worth. Ask us about our free valuation service as we would be more than happy to provide an indication of your property market value. 

See your solicitor

If you are contemplating moving, but are relying on selling your home to finance the purchase of another one, you should seek advice from your solicitor at the earliest opportunity, as he or she will be able to get the sale in motion, smooth out any problems, and take the pressure off you. If you don?t already have a solicitor, we can help by referring you to a BHP Solicitor to undertake the legal work. As with all other BHP Services, it?s designed to take the stress and strain out of moving. In addition, as we look after the marketing of your home, as well as the conveyancing, the whole process is streamlined, which means we can save time during the course of the transaction.

Marketing your property

It is possible to sell a property privately, by means of newspaper advertisements or even by putting up a hand-made For Sale sign. While this may work out cheaper, your property will probably not attract sufficient interest among the home-buying public to secure the best price.

Your best bet is to contact several agents about their services and invite them to carry out a market appraisal. If you decide to instruct BHP Home to sell your property, sales particulars will be prepared and a For Sale board will be ordered. Your fee will cover the board, sales particulars, internet advertising and automatic inclusion in our matching services as well as regular advertising in the local press. We can also provide your Home Information Pack, undertake the legal work and provide access to independent mortgage advice as necessary by referring you to our parent law firm.
