Moving house
can seem a daunting prospect. Moving to a new-build can help with some of the
stumbling blocks involved in long chains and survey reports. You are getting a brand new house, often
tweaked to your specifications.
However, we
are always looking for ways to make the process of moving as stress free as
possible. Our Assisted Move service can
help and guide you along the process of selling your existing home. From organising a valuation to instructing an
estate agent and monitoring the progress of your sale. You will receive support
and guidance from us all along the way. Crucially, we'll help you get the best price
for your old home and you can reserve your new home today. Here's how it works:
1. You
choose your new Richmond Home and we will hold the plot for you.
2. We will
arrange for independent valuations of your current property, based on finding a
buyer within a specified selling period
3. We will
suggest a realistic selling price based on these valuations, and if you agree,
you can then reserve your chosen home with a reservation fee of £1000. This
will secure your new home for a specified period
4. We will
then instruct estate agents to sell your existing home within a pre-agreed
timescale. We will work closely with the agents to ensure your home is
frequently advertised and all viewings are followed up. We will also keep you
regularly updated of the progress to maximise its sales potential
5. We will
appoint our preferred solicitor and mortgage broker, with your agreement, to
speed the process up
6. Should
your current home remain unsold at the end of the agreed selling period, we
will refund your deposit or, alternatively, we may extend the selling period.
