Selling Your Home in Scotland Whether you are moving to a new area, upsizing or downsizing, making that next step on the property ladder should be exciting. Sadly, for many, the prospect of selling a home is daunting and overwhelming. We get it. There are so many processes to consider before a property goes on the market that it is difficult to know where to start. And in what order to do things so as not to slow the whole selling process down. Here at The Home Report Company we’re often asked by clients how they should go about selling their home. So, we’ve pulled together our 2021 step by step guide to help make selling in Scotland that little bit easier. DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE The first thing to work out is whether selling is financially viable. Speak to local estate agents who have experience in your area and type of property to get their estimations on the market value of your home. This is the first part of the selling journey and allows you to get a feel for how much you could be making on the sale. But remember, this is a recommended guide to valuation – only Chartered Surveyors like us can provide actual property valuations within the Home Report which sets the price. Then, research how much your next home will cost you and how much money you will need to make this next move. It’s also worth getting in touch with your current mortgage lender to determine your financial situation, work out the size of the outstanding mortgage, how much extra you’ll need to borrow and find out if you could have early redemption fees on the existing mortgage. Moving home is expensive and costs build up so it is important to do your homework before committing to anything. You need to take in to account estate agent fees, legal fees, removal costs and much more. HOME REPORT Once you have committed to selling, it is time to sort out your Home Report. The Home Report is the only legally required part of placing your property on the market. It is a crucial pack of detailed information about the condition and value of a property. Commissioned by the seller, this must be available to potential buyers before the property goes on the market. The Home Report contains three parts – the Single Survey with Property Valuation, the Energy Performance Report (EPC) and the Property Questionnaire. Once you have this completed, you then take this to your selling agent who will use this market your property. Here at the Home Report Company, we have offices across Scotland including Fife, Glasgow, Dundee, Stirling and Falkirk, Aberdeen and Edinburgh and our highly experienced Chartered Surveyors, all regulated by the RICS, are available 7 days a week, at times that suit you. We also aim to deliver your Home Report within two working days, at competitive prices. SELECT A SELLING AGENT
