Our Guide to Selling

We have a number of ways to approach this, so we will discuss the options that are available to you. We feel that no other agent offers the comprehensive range that we do!

The Valuation

We begin with a friendly phone call to discuss your property, your plans, and what you’d like to achieve. This initial conversation helps us understand your goals and how we can best support you. If you’re happy to move forward, we’ll arrange a convenient time to meet at your home and tailor a marketing approach that suits you and the best way forward, including agreeing on a suitable asking price.

Exchange Ready

We like to think well ahead of the game, so it’s at this point we will connect you and with our recommend solicitors so they can take you through getting ready for exchange. We have trialled this and found that being ‘exchange ready’ early on can save on delays further down the line, the outcome has been fewer fall throughs and completion time saved of up to 4 – 6 weeks.

Communication

At Adkins Property, we believe clear and fast communication is key. That’s why we create a dedicated WhatsApp group for each of our sellers—providing a direct line between you and our team.

This unique service allows us to update you instantly about viewings, provide same-day feedback, and keep you fully informed throughout the process. It’s a personal, responsive approach that sets us apart from other agents in the area.

First Impressions

Creating the right impression is very important when selling your property. We can give you advice and guidance on how to create the best ambience within your home.

Photography

The best agents will only use the highest quality images to promote your home. First impressions do count; therefore, we want to ensure the photographs leave a lasting impression with potential buyers.

Video Presentation

With expert presenters, high-quality visuals, music and engaging storytelling, we help buyers connect emotionally with your home—showcasing not just the property, but the lifestyle it offers.

In a competitive market, first impressions count. Let us make yours unforgettable.

Video Tour

We provide a detailed video tour of your home, highlighting all the important aspects that buyers want to see—from the flow of the layout and room sizes to key features like the kitchen, bathrooms, and outdoor space. This gives potential buyers a clear and realistic view of the property, helping them visualise themselves living there before they even step through the door. All captured with background music.

Floor Plans

We will create individual floor plans for each property to allow buyers to visualise the layout of your home and envisage how they would live there.

Marketing Your Home

Marketing your home well is essential. A variety of on-line portals are available, we concentrate on investing time and money into those that have our best interest at heart which will introduce the very best buyers for your home.

Sale Boards

We understand that the ‘FOR SALE’ board still proves itself as a strategic way of advertising your home. It generates interest through word of mouth from neighbours and passers-by to potential buyers.

Email Marketing

We have a modern and updated database of clients that we can match up with your property. This proactive approach ensures each prospective buyer is contacted by a personal call or email to let them know your property is listed for sale.

Social Media

In today’s modern digital world, we have a huge following on social media, such as; Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, TikTok & Pinterest, we would like to expose your property to this incredible form of advertising – equally if you would prefer us not to, then please just let us know.

Accompanied Viewings

We believe accompanied viewings are key to selling your home. In some cases, we may suggest a virtual tour first to ensure genuine interest.

All potential buyers are fully qualified before viewing—no time wasters, only serious enquiries.

We recommend you vacate the property during viewings, and we’ll provide same-day feedback via text, WhatsApp, or email, followed by a call the next day where possible.

Offers

Whether the sale of your property is negotiated with a single buyer, or it sells at a closing date, we will guide you through every step of the process. When we receive an offer from a potential buyer, we will clarify the chain details if any and request financial proof that the purchase is achievable.

We will let you know immediately and negotiate on your behalf to reach a price that is acceptable to you. We will always give you an honest recommendation on each offer received.

Accepting an Offer

When an offer is accepted, we will suggest our recommended solicitors to act on your behalf and notify the buyers solicitor of all the relevant details.

Exchange of Contracts

When both solicitors are ready and all involved have agreed a mutual completion date, your solicitor will request relevant fees and deposits to be held on account in preparation of exchange of contracts. When this happens, we will contact you and confirm the completion date and offer further advice recommending removal companies etc.

Completion Day

From having your offer accepted or agreeing the sale of your own property, there is likely to be between 8 & 14 weeks in between. If you are selling with us, we request that you deliver your keys to our office when your removal company have packed your items in their vehicles and have finished. If you are buying with us, we will contact you once we have received notification from the vendors solicitor giving authority to release keys – you are then welcome to call into our office to collect the keys to your new home.
