A: Conveyancing refers to all the legal steps required to transfer ownership of your home to the
buyer. A solicitor is necessary to handle this process, and Donald Ross Residential can recommend a
solicitor to assist you.
A: The decision is entirely yours as the client and the person who knows the property best. However,
if you're not comfortable carrying out viewings, a member of the Donald Ross team can do so on
your behalf. In either case, we will coordinate with you to agree on suitable time frames before the
viewings commence and keep you informed throughout the process.
A: A note of interest needs to be instructed via a solicitor. If you have noted interest on a property,
you will be contacted by us to put in a formal offer before the property goes to a closing date.
A: Closing dates allow the seller of the property to set a cut-off date for all interested parties to
submit their best offer. A closing date also motivates potential buyers to submit an offer.
A: The competition for the property always results in higher offers than the Home Report Valuation,
if a property is new to the market and has several viewers lined up, a very strong offer may be
accepted before closing date particularly if the position of the buyer is strong ie no property to sell
and no mortgage to obtain. We always advise put your strongest offer forward first if in a
competitive landscape if the property has been on the market for a long time it is likely to sell
around the home report valuation.
A: Sellers typically prefer a buyer with cash in the bank and/or a pre-approved mortgage, especially
if they have already offered on their next property, rather than someone who is part of a chain
where the sale depends on several links in the chain receiving offers. This means selling your existing
home first puts you in a far stronger position as a buyer, we often see viewers missing out on their
dream property because they are not on the market, remember the date of entry is easier to
negotiate as most people will wait longer for their property as long as they have secured their
purchase,
