Selling the property

5. Selling the property

Receiving an offer

Fletchers will be with you every step of the way, keeping you fully informed throughout the selling process and briefing you on all offers received.

Offers

It is important to note that an offer is not deemed a sale until:
- The offer is formally documented and signed by all parties
- The cooling off period has lapsed
- All special conditions are met

Exchange of contracts

Signatures of both the Vendor and the Purchaser are required on a contract. The Purchaser may, in some cases, have a cooling off period during which the Purchaser can withdraw from the contract. Once the contracts have been checked for accuracy, we will forward copies to your solicitor or conveyancer.

Your solicitor will commence the legal process of conveying ownership of the property from your name to that of the purchaser.

Fletchers can assist you with the selection of a solicitor to help ensure your documentation is both complete and timely.

Inclusions

When you sell your property, you not only sell the bricks and mortar, you also agree to sell the inclusions that will be listed in your contract. You must inform your agent and solicitor if you wish to exclude any commonly included items (e.g. special curtains, light fittings) prior to the commencement of marketing as these exclusions must also be listed in the contract as well as pointed out to buyers.

Common Inclusions
