Your property will require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to meet with current legislation and we can arrange this for you for just £95.
We maintain a database of hundreds of qualified buyers and will match your property to suitable buyers even before it appears online.
Our lines are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and we never miss an opportunity to deal with an enquiry. Whether we speak to buyers on the phone, in person, or correspond electronically, all enquiries will be handled promptly on your behalf.
We understand how much effort is required to prepare your property for each viewing. You may have to arrange for the kids and the family pet to be out of the way, and even make yourself scarce if you have asked Reades to conduct the viewings for you.
To help ensure you are not wasting your time, we ask buyers a number of key questions to establish their circumstances and only arrange a viewing if they can afford and are in the position to buy your property.
This certainly doesn’t stand in the way of us selling properties, quite the opposite in fact, but if you want us to offer viewings to people who are not yet in that position, we are happy to work on that basis – the choice is yours.
You can provide us with your availability and we will arrange viewings to suit. Alternatively, we can contact you before arranging the viewing, so we can discuss the buyer’s requirements with you and arrange a mutually convenient date and time. Unless you tell us otherwise, we will always give at least 24 hours’ notice of a viewing taking place.
At Reades, we only arrange physical viewings with applicants who have serious intent and only after we have confirmed their buying position (see our Viewings Policy for full details).
By doing that extra work up-front, we successfully reduce the unnecessary footfall (and therefore the risk) and find, on average, properties sell after just five to eight physical viewings!
Whether you’re too busy to conduct your own viewings, or you just prefer not to conduct them yourself, our professional Viewing Representatives are fully trained and DBS checked and will be happy to conduct the viewings for you, from 8am till 8pm, 7 days a week.
We can conduct all your physical viewings if you wish, or just the ones you can’t make, it’s entirely up to you. As for the cost, well it’s just £300 for a pack of six viewings, payable in advance, and any viewings you don’t use will be discounted from the final fee on completion, at a rate of £50 per viewing.
Accessible 24/7 from any internet-capable device, your online account offers a window into the Reades system, allowing you to track marketing stats, see viewings as they’re booked, review viewing feedback, consider offers and even track the progress of your sale. You can also track your onward purchase if you’re buying through Reades.
Accessible via your online account, you will receive proper, four-point feedback, including what the viewers liked about your property, what they perhaps didn’t like so much, their opinion on the market value and what we plan to do next on your behalf. If you prefer to receive a call to discuss the feedback, we will be happy to oblige.
Our team will be in touch on a regular basis to offer marketing updates, discuss recent viewings and feedback, and offer an insight into how the market is performing in your area.
The housing market can be very dynamic and our team is best-placed to formulate a sound strategy to help you get your property sold and achieve the highest possible price.
Unless you specifically instruct us otherwise, we are obliged to let you know about every offer, even if that offer is well below the asking price.
To make sure you find out as soon as possible, we normally call to discuss offers in the first instance. If you have already rejected an offer verbally, we still have to write to you to confirm the offer, so don’t think we’re trying to encourage you to accept it and please don’t shoot the messenger!
Our Negotiators are highly trained professionals who have your best interests at heart. As your agent, we are charged with negotiating the highest possible price for you and that is precisely what we will do.
Great news! We received an offer at an acceptable level, so we just phone it through to you now, right? Definitely not.
Every year around one in four of all the sales agreed in England and Wales fall through. There are many reasons for this, some of which are unavoidable, such as job loss, illness or relationship break down, but many are due to the buyer not actually being in a position to buy.
Reades operates a thorough due diligence process and before we submit an offer to you, we ask buyers to provide evidence of their position. Cash buyers must prove they have access to the funds, those buying with a mortgage have to provide a copy of their mortgage agreement in principle or confirmation from their Financial Advisor, and buyers who are sale dependent (they have to sell theirs to buy yours) need to have accepted an offer, or have an offer pending.
When you accept an offer through Reades, you can be safe in the knowledge that we have done everything we can to ensure your sale completes successfully.
Very often, a buyer will have to sell their own property before they can buy yours.
If Reades is selling their property too, we will already fully understand their circumstances. If not, we will contact their agent to establish their buyer’s position and even their buyer’s, buyer’s position if they are part of a multi-sale chain.
We will keep track of the chain as your sale progresses and make sure you’re fully informed, every step of the way.
The memorandum of sale is a document detailing all the important points of the sale, including your name, the name of the buyer, the details of both yours and your buyer’s solicitors, the sale price, the date the sale was agreed, an approximate timeframe for exchange of contracts and any special conditions pertinent to the sale.
We draft this important document on your behalf and send a copy to all parties and their solicitors, to ensure everyone is on the same page.
The legal process of conveyancing (transferring ownership from one party to another) takes, on average, around 6-8 weeks, but can take longer depending on the circumstances. Our dedicated Progression Team will liaise with both yours and the buyer’s solicitors along the way and provide updates to everyone involved.
Most property purchases involve some form of survey, especially if they are being funded with a mortgage. We recommend asking the surveyor to collect keys from Reades for access. As well as being convenient for you, this also provides an excellent opportunity for us to talk to the surveyor about how the market is performing in your area and what similar properties have recently sold for, to help support the value of your sale.
A sale can easily be lost due to poor progression.
Our dedicated, highly experienced Progression Team is there to keep things on track and will ensure that both you and your buyer are given the right advice, and updated every step of the way.
You can monitor the progress of your sale 24/7 via your online account, and your onward purchase too if you are also buying with Reades.
Congratulations, your sale has completed!
We understand that you are likely to be somewhat preoccupied on sale day and to help make things easier for you, we can arrange for the buyer to collect keys from our office. After weeks of talking on the phone or communicating via email, this also gives our team a great opportunity to congratulate your buyer in person.
To help mark this special day, we offer a chilled bottle of bubbly and a new home card to your buyer, before shaking their hand and sending them on their way to their lovely new home!
We won’t charge you anything for our estate agency service until we have successfully sold your property.
Over 85% of the new sales and lettings instructions we receive are repeat business, either from previous clients using Reades again, or from those clients referring people they know to Reades.
Reades is an independent, family-owned Estate & Letting Agency – Helping people move since 1999.
