OUR GUIDE TO SELLING flats and apartments
preparing to sell People have different reasons for selling, from disposing of an investment to simply moving home.
Once you have decided to sell, think about what you want to include in the sale. Normally, fixtures and fittings such as carpets and fireplaces are included in the price but other moveable items can be up for negotiation. If you are getting rid of items you no longer need, do it before you start marketing your property as the less clutter you have the more appealing it will be to prospective buyers. Provide us with as much information on your property as possible – we will ask you to complete a vendor questionnaire which will include questions such as:
Tenure – is the property leasehold/freehold
Tenant’s details if applicable
Ground rent and management fee if applicable
Gas and electrical checks certificates
Building Regulations Certificates Details of your solicitor – so we can get them ready to act for you as soon as a buyer is found Council tax, utility, buildings and contents insurance bills – so potential buyers can estimate running costs.

“When selling leasehold flats and apartments, the vendors’ role is crucial to ensure that management company enquiries are dealt with promptly as these are often the biggest obstacle to a smooth sale.” MIKE HAYNE
