Selling a home need to know
What costs are involved?
Costs involved in selling a home can include removal fees, storage fees, solicitor fees, and estate agent fees. You have a no sale, no fee agreement with Lumleys, which means you only pay a pre-agreed percentage of the sale price plus VAT after completion.
We're happy to recommend a number of local and professional businesses who can help with these things.
How will you sell my home?
Our dedicated in-house marketing team will deliver a multimedia approach to advertising your property. To market your property Lumleys will produce high-quality brochures, professional films, press coverage, and social media content. We aim to capture what makes your home unique.
I want to sell but I want to keep it quiet?
If you want to keep your sale discreet, Lumleys can adapt the marketing strategy used to ensure your property reaches the right buyers without a public spotlight.
We pride ourselves at being an extremely discreet agency when needed. We work off market with a lot of our vendors.
How do I get my home ready to sell?
To get your home ready to sell, tidy up your paperwork and property! Consult with your mortgage adviser and solicitor to expedite the process. Ensure your home is photo and film ready, which may involve cleaning, painting, or lawn maintenance.
