Selling FAQs

The first step is to receive a valuation to find out how much your home is worth. It’s best to ask a few different estate agents to value your home to get a rough average. You’ll also need to get an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC); this is a legal requirement and something you’ll need to provide to potential buyers.

There are a few different costs involved when selling a property:

Estate agent fees: This will either be a percentage of the purchase price or a fixed fee. When estate agents value your home, make sure you ask what their fees are so that you can take these into consideration.

Energy performance certificate: An EPC certificate typically costs between £60 and £120, but can vary depending on the size of your property, the location it’s in, the type of building it is and the provider. It’s important to compare quotes to get the best deal.

Conveyancing: You will need to employ a solicitor to complete the conveyancing process. Prices will vary depending on your circumstances.

Aside from these costs, you may decide to pay for extras such as professional photography and removals. Ask your estate agent to outline any other costs you’re unsure about at the start of your sale so that you can budget accordingly.

The average home in the UK takes around 185 days (just under six months) to sell from when it’s first listed on the property market.

Sellers in England are legally required to purchase an EPC for their property before putting it on the market to sell or rent. Your estate agent may be able to help arrange this.

In most cases, you do not have to pay Capital Gains Tax when selling your property. You only pay Capital Gains Tax (CGT) when you’re selling a second home, buy-to-let property, or any property that isn’t your main residence that has increased in value. You will also pay CGT if your gains exceed the annual tax-free allowance. The tax is due within 30 days of selling residential property or as part of your annual tax return for other assets.

In England, it isn’t required to arrange a survey, but the buyer of the property may end up doing so. In this case, a surveyor will arrange an appointment to visit your property and will look for things such as dampness and problems with walls, roofs and utilities.

As well as this, your buyer’s mortgage lender will organise a mortgage valuation to confirm if the property is worth the money being lent.

Conveyancing is the process of legally transferring the title of a property from one owner to another. A typical conveyancing transaction has two major phases: the exchange of contracts and completion.

Ultimately, conveyancing is everything that needs to happen to make a property officially yours when purchasing a property. It can be a confusing process and you’ll need a solicitor to make it happen.

Conveyancing searches are enquiries made by your buyer’s solicitor to find out more information about your home. This information includes planning history, and any potential developments around roads, drainage and mining near the property.

Normally, you can pull out without incurring any fees, but this depends on the estate agent. It’s legal for an estate agent to charge a withdrawal fee, but they have to outline this before you agree to their services.

Once the exchange of contracts is complete both parties will become legally bound to sell or buy the property. Until the exchange of contracts, there is no legal obligation on either party to proceed.

The completion date is agreed in advance by the buyer and seller. This happens after both contracts are signed and once the funds from the mortgage are released.

In most cases, the seller is asked to move out of the property by 12pm on completion day.
