The Valuation
	To request a free valuation of your property you can call us, visit our office or complete the valuation request form on this website.
Marketing Your Property
	Once confirmation of your instruction has been received, one of our negotiators will process your property for marketing purposes. From one visit they will produce high quality digital photographs, a full set of floor plans, write and design property particulars for both on-line and off-line marketing. This complete set of property details is then uploaded onto where it is marketed to thousands of potential buyers within a few days.
Legal
	A solicitor will be required to handle the legal paperwork involved in transferring ownership of your property to the new buyer (conveyance). It is advisable to instruct your solicitor at the same time as putting your property on the market, to allow for collection of the necessary documentation. If you wish, we can recommend an efficient, value for money solicitor.
On The Market
	When you instruct Archers to sell your property you automatically benefit from our unrivalled, comprehensive package of marketing tools, designed to achieve maximum exposure for your property in order to obtain the best price quickly and efficiently.
Viewings
	It is our job to sell your property for you, which is why in almost all cases we show the prospective purchaser around the property. We also ensure that you receive feedback from viewings.
Receive An Offer
	As soon as an offer is received, we will notify you both verbally and in writing with the appropriate recommendation.
Agreeing To Sell
	Once a purchaser has been established and the price accepted it is vital that the following details are agreed: Date for exchange of contracts Date for completion Details of any extras included or excluded from the purchase We will advise you and negotiate on your behalf throughout this process, keeping you informed every step of the way.
Draft Contract & Supporting Paperwork
	Once the transaction is agreed, your solicitor will send out a draft contract to your purchasers solicitor who in turn carries out preliminary enquiries and orders a land registry search. They will also organize all the supporting paperwork (where applicable) ie: Title deeds, copy of lease, fixtures and fittings list, sellers questionnaire, planning consent, guarantees, copy of building regulations and share of freehold certificate.
Service Charge Accounts and Building Insurance
	(in general this is not applicable to freehold properties) We recommend that you forward copies of your service charge accounts over the last three years, estimates for the forthcoming year, and building insurance certificates, to your solicitor the moment you instruct us to market your property. Alternatively, in case of apartment blocks, you can ask your solicitor to collect these documents from the managing agent.
Contract Approval
	This is when all preliminary enquiries from the draft contract and local search queries have been settled.
Exchange Of Contracts
	Most buyers require mortgages. Once the mortgage offer has been confirmed, the purchaser is ready to exchange contracts with the vendor and the deposit, (usually 10% of the purchase price), is either telegraphically transferred or paid by the buyers solicitor, by bankers draft. The completion date is set at this stage.
Completion
	This is generally set a few days to a few weeks after exchange of contracts, depending on the personal requirements of the buyer and seller. The residual monies (usually 90%) are transferred from the buyers solicitor to your solicitors account.
