Sales Progession

Sales progression is the process of the sale beginning with an offer being accepted right through the legal proceedings and the completion of a sale.

Our dedication throughout this process is a vital part of the service we provide to you.

Statistics indicate that one in two property sales fail to complete with the main offenders in the breakdown being lack of communication and understanding of the actual process.

At Greenwood James, we have a wealth of knowledge and expertise in guiding our clients through the entire process; offering support and advice at every stage until they successfully own the property.

We work hard to ease stress and frustration during this time and ensure every avenue is thoroughly explored. Rest assured we will maintain communication with all parties; gathering information and keeping in regular contact with buyers and sellers throughout the legal process.

Useful advice for sellers:

  • Instruct your solicitor at the earliest stage. This way they can prepare documentation and help the sale move more efficiently.
  • Get your paper work together. Ensure you have all the documentation relating to your property to hand. This could include any work you have had done to the property, planning permission, guarantees and certificates.
  • If you are selling a flat or leasehold, try to ensure that your ground rent or management charges are paid up-to-date with receipts.
  • Complete and return all paperwork from your solicitor as soon as possible; for example, the fixtures and fittings enquiry form.

If you need any advice about selling, don't hesitate to contact us.
