Why Choose Miles & Barr

We aim to give you as much availability to conduct viewings as possible. We can also organise your EPC (Energy Performance Certificate), just get in touch with your local branch to sort this out or call us on 01304 626 444. You must have commissioned an EPC before your property can go on the market.

Presenting your property

Presenting your property is essential as first impressions count. You should consider addressing any jobs you have been meaning to get done, add a fresh coat of paint where applicable and ensure your rooms are empty from clutter. Once you’re happy with the presentation of your property our photographers will take photographs and we will produce floorplans as well as a comprehensive description

Advertising your property

Your property needs maximum exposure across all forms of media to help find a perfect buyer. Once you’ve instructed Miles & Barr to sell your property you’ll benefit from exposure on our modern website, full colour property details, email alerts and have a branch behind you with a wealth of experience.

Receiving an offer

Once an offer is received, we will let you know in writing and verbally. You will be made aware of any conditions of the offer, and we will also check the buyer is able to proceed before you decide whether or not to accept the offer.

Accepting an offer

Upon your acceptance of an offer, we will follow up with these steps:

  • Write to all parties to confirm the agreed price
  • Prepare the memorandum of the sale

The solicitor will send a draft contract to the buyer’s solicitor who will then carry out the survey on your property, exchange the contracts and the proposed completion date. We will continue to give you advice at this stage and negotiate on your behalf where necessary, keeping you informed with each step. There are no legal obligations until contracts are signed.
