SELL YOUR HOUSE THE FOX ESTATES WAY
HOW TO SELL YOUR HOME THE FOX ESTATES WAY
By Alyson Fox
Fox Estate Agents is a multi-award winning independent agents with exceptionally high customer service.
We understand that selling a home can be very stressful and especially in the case of probate sales, highly emotional. We aim to provide a very personal service to all our clients and we will hold your hand the whole way through your sale from start to finish.
We can provide the whole package surrounding a sale from:- solicitors, surveyors, structural engineers, removal firms, house clearance, cleaners and usually any other service you may need. We find that most people are happy with this as it takes away a lot of the stress involved.
Once you have decided you want to move house, you will need a valuation. One of our experienced, highly trained valuers will do extensive research before they visit you so they have all the information they need. They will then have a chat with you and have a look around the property. This should take approximately thirty minutes and they will be able to answer any questions you may have. Once a price and a fee have been agreed, we will compile a brochure and you will have the final say on what pictures will be used. Then we put the house on the market and you are ready to go. With your agreement we will then start to book in prospective buyers. We acquire as much information about the buyers as we can before they view your home and we make sure we accompany everyone around the property. We never forget that we are in someone else’s home and we make sure everyone, including ourselves, treat it with the respect it deserves. We also will keep you informed of feedback we receive from any viewers and keep extensive notes on all aspects of information on your property. We have a duty of care to all our vendors to achieve the best possible price for their property from the best possible buyer.
Once we have found you a buyer, checks have been carried out, an offer has been agreed, and solicitors have been appointed, we will mark the property under offer. We will keep in contact with you, your solicitor, your buyer and your buyer’s solicitors and Fox Estates Estates will keep you updated at all times with any developments. We also encourage you to call us at any time if you have any questions.
There is a process that both solicitors have to go through and there will be paperwork to fill in. We are more than happy to talk you through this as sometimes, it can be a little daunting.
Once the solicitors are happy with everything, you will need to agree a date for exchange of contracts and a completion date. Once the big day arrives, we will wait until your solicitors have let us know that the transaction has completed, we will be able to hand over the keys to your buyer and you can then follow your removal van to your new home. Congratulations, you have sold your home and are ready to make new memories in your new home.

Please visit www.habibhajallie.com for more information or email info@habibhajallie.com Biography Habib Hajallie is an elected member of The Royal Society of British Artists. He looks to empower often marginalised minorities through the exploration of identity within his ballpoint pen portraiture. Confronting socio-political issues within his drawings acts as a catalyst for a discourse regarding the perception of various demographics as being of lesser humanistic value. Specifically, with the disenfranchised often being undermined by mainstream media; somewhat paradoxically reflecting an archaic hierarchy of status, similar to colonial ideologies. Though born in Southeast London, Hajallie’s works are Informed by his Sierra Leonean and Lebanese heritage. He is conscious of representing figures that have historically been conspicuously omitted from traditional British portraiture. Calling upon anecdotal references to portray scenes that are occasionally quasisurrealist representations, the drawings look to confront lingering ethnocentrisms that are still embedded within modern western society.
