🏡 You’ve Just Instructed Us To Sell Your Home– What Happens Next?
Congratulations!! Whether this is your first time selling or you're a seasoned mover, it’s normal to feel a mix of excitement and questions at this stage.
So what happens next? Let’s walk you through the journey – starting with compliance, through to marketing preparation, and your very first viewings.
✅ Step 1: Compliance – Getting the Legal Essentials in Place
Before we can actively market your home or conduct viewings, there are a few key compliance steps that need to be completed. This is about protecting both you and the buyer – and ensuring everything runs smoothly later on.
Here’s what we’ll help you with:
EPC (Energy Performance Certificate): Legally required before we can market your home. If you don’t already have one, we’ll arrange for this to be completed quickly.
Property Information Forms: These include the TA6 (general info about the property) and TA10 (fixtures and fittings) – essential when an offer is made.
ID & Anti-Money Laundering Checks: As required by law, we’ll verify your identity and proof of address. It’s a quick and simple process.
📝 Our team will guide you through every form and step, so don’t worry – you’re not alone in this.
📸 Step 2: Marketing Preparation – Making Your Home Shine
Once compliance is underway, it’s time to get your home ready for the spotlight.
Here's what we’ll organise:
Professional Photography: First impressions matter, and our photographers know how to showcase your home in the best light – literally.
Floorplans & Measurements: Buyers want to visualise how they’ll live in the space. Accurate, easy-to-read floorplans are essential.
Compelling Property Description: We don’t just list features – we tell the story of your home, highlighting its lifestyle appeal and unique selling points.
Brochures & Online Listing Assets: We prepare sleek, informative brochures and digital materials that reflect the quality of your home.
💡 Pro Tip: We’ll give you tips to help with staging – simple things like decluttering, lighting, and neutral touches that make a big impact.
📣 Step 3: Going Live – Launching Your Home to the Market
Now that everything is ready, it’s time to go live.
Here’s what the launch includes:
Social Media Marketing: We promote listings across our high-engagement social channels to reach targeted audiences.
Email Alerts to Active Buyers: We send your home directly to buyers already registered with us who match your property’s profile.
For Sale Board (if agreed): A simple but powerful tool to catch local attention.
Listing on Major Portals: Your home will be showcased on platforms like Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket and our own website, maximising exposure.
🎯 Moreland’s goal is to generate a strong first wave of interest – your property’s debut matters.
🚪 Step 4: First Viewings – What to Expect
Viewings usually begin within a few days of launching – sometimes even sooner if we’ve pre-qualified buyers waiting.
What we do:
Coordinate & Manage Viewings: We’ll arrange times that suit you, and host every viewing unless otherwise agreed.
Buyer Vetting: We don’t just let anyone in – we ensure viewers are serious and suitable.
Real-Time Feedback: After each viewing, we follow up with the buyer and relay their feedback to you. This helps us adjust strategy if needed.
🙌 You’ll never be left in the dark – we keep you informed at every stage.
