Sales

Step 1: Arrange a valuation

If you are considering moving, your first step is to arrange a valuation on your home. At Ferris & Co we have a wealth of experience selling houses in the Maidstone and surrounding areas for the last 36 years. Our local residential sales team can provide you with a realistic up to date valuation, considering current market conditions to help you make the right decision for your next move. Our team do not only know the local area, they are all part of the local communities we sell our homes in, providing you with an unrivalled insight into your property.

Step 2: Organise a Take on/Listing

If you are happy with our valuation and decide that you want us to market your property, the next stage would be to organise a take on.

A free take on will provide you with:

• We are required by law to conduct anti-money laundering checks on all those selling or buying a property. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks and any ongoing monitoring are carried out correctly, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or had an offer accepted on a property you wish to buy. The cost of these checks is £52 (incl. VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee will need to be paid by you in advance of us publishing your property (in the case of a vendor) or issuing a memorandum of sale (in the case of a buyer), directly to Lifetime Legal, and is non-refundable. 
• Professional photography of your property.
• Full written description of your property, including its features and surrounding area.
• State of the art floor plan.
• We can also organise an EPC to be drawn on your behalf.

Step 3: Marketing your property

Here at Ferris & Co we know how important it is to make your property stand out from the crowd, and over the years we have developed a tailored approach to marketing our properties. Including high quality photography, glossy brochures and LED window displays. You may even find our properties in in-house lifestyle property magazines.

We do not stop there, we are extremely experienced in utilising platforms such as Rightmove, Zoopla and OntheMarket to best promote your property locally, nationally and internationally online. Furthermore, we are skilled in marketing your property socially on platforms including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for a targeted focus to create meaningful interactions.

Step 4: Conducting Viewings

We have a large sales negotiation team who can organise viewings on your behalf for your properties at extremely short notice. In addition, our sales negotiators never go to a property where they have not been prepped and conducted their own research on. Here at Ferris & Co we believe that your property deserves a bespoke treatment at every single viewing, to create the best opportunity for a sale.

Step 5: Sales Progression

Once we have secured an acceptable offer for your property and received the relevant paperwork, the sale will be passed to our in-house progression team, who will be in regular contact with you. Helen & Theresa have a combined experience in this field of over 40 years providing you, our client, with the comfort of knowing that the person dealing with your sale will guide you through the selling process to a successful completion.

Step 6: Exchange

Our favourite part of doing business. Enabling our clients to move into their dream home.
