Selling your home can be stressful, so it is important to choose a Jersey Estate Agent who will make this process as smooth as possible. We at
Mulberry, make every possible effort to minimise the stress and make the experience as pleasant as we can. Most agents have an extensive range of property for sale, so it is important that YOUR property is handled individually and that every effort is made to present it in the best possible light and to explain via advertising, property details and the website what makes your property more appealing than the others. One thing we will never do is to over-value your house just to get it on our books, this can very easily make a property "stale" and lead to a reduced sale price at a later date.
What to Do Next
Do you require a valuation? Please contact Mulberry for advice or fill in the
Valuation Form.
At Mulberry we can offer you a free, no obligation factual and accurate appraisal of the current market value of your home. Our experienced property valuers will provide you with a valuation based not only on their knowledge of Jersey and surrounding areas, but also utilising an extensive database of recent properties sold.
Instruction of the Agent/Property Details
Having received your valuation, and provided that you are satisfied with it, we will then proceed to prepare full sales details of your property. Bearing in mind the importance of presentation, we will ensure that your sales details highlight the vitally important aspects of your property and ensure that your home is shown to its best possible advantage with the aid of many full colour photographs.
Marketing
Once you have seen and approved our particulars of your home, we will then be in a position to introduce prospective buyers. All appointments to view your property are made by our negotiators and all prospective purchasers are accompanied on the viewings.
Your property is now ready to market and we offer the following:
For Sales Board - This is the most simple and effective marketing tool, available 24 hours a day.
Office and Window Display – External and internal photographs will be prominently displayed in our premises in order to optimise exposure to the market place.
Email – Wherever possible, all prospective buyers who register with us are asked to provide email addresses in order to ensure that they are notified of any new properties as soon as possible within 24 hours of receiving your instruction.
Mail Shots (and telesales) - We will contact registered prospective buyers as soon as possible after receiving your instruction and your details will be forwarded to any new registered buyers immediately.
Website – This is updated daily and full colour details of your home are placed on our website within 24 hours of being placed on the market.
Advertising – We provide regular prominent advertising of your property in the Jersey Evening Post and Places Magazine.
Updating on Your Sale – At Mulberry Estate Agents, we pride ourselves on our conscientious sales management. We aim to keep you regularly appraised of your sales process right through to completion and liaise with your purchaser, the legal representatives, surveyors and mortgage lenders in order to ensure that your sale is progressed as smoothly and as stress-free as possible.
Offers – Any offers we receive are promptly verbally notified and can be followed up in writing. Our competent sales team will negotiate between you and your prospective applicant in order to achieve the strongest buyer.
We will inform you of the position of the buyers and liaise with you until an accepted offer has been agreed.
MONEY LAUNDERING REGULATION
In order for us to comply with current legislation, vendors will now be asked to produce photographic identification ( copy of back page of a passport ) and proof of residency documentation ( copy of a utility bill ).
Price Agreed – Once the price has been agreed with a prospective purchaser who is in a position to proceed, you will need to instruct a solicitor. Should you require assistance in choosing a solicitor, Mulberry will be pleased to recommend local firms.
The solicitors will then write to all parties and the buyers will instruct a surveyor to conduct a survey of your property (the “agreed sale” is subject to the contract and any survey) and the buyers’ mortgage offer (if required) will also be subject to the results of the survey.
The sellers’ solicitors will request the TITLE DEEDS from the lender (if appropriate) or yourselves as the seller. Mulberry Estate Agents will then compile a list of Fixture and Fittings.
The solicitors draw up the DRAFT CONTRACT which sets of the Terms of the Sale and sends it to the buyers’ solicitor together with all relevant documents. Any enquiries will then be raised, the Title Deeds and Lease (if applicable) will be checked and LOCAL SEARCHES carried out.
Once the draft contracts have been approved, it can be signed by both parties.
Completion – The time span between instructing solicitors and your actual house move will take approximately 4 weeks, depending on yourselves, the buyers, and your respective solicitors.
