Selling Your Flat: A Simple Step-by-Step Plan
Selling goes best when you prepare before the first buyer calls. Work through the steps below in order.
- Collect your papers. Deed, mutation record, tax receipts, utility bills and the building approval.
- Set a realistic price. Compare with similar flats currently listed, not with what a neighbour hoped for.
- Prepare the flat. Clean, repair small faults and take clear daylight photos.
- List it honestly. State size, floor, facing and service charge.
- Screen enquiries. Ask a buyer about budget and timing before arranging a visit.
- Agree in writing. Use a written agreement that lists the price, payment dates and handover date.
A complete file of papers lets a serious buyer say yes faster and gives you a stronger position on price.
Rules, fees and processes change. Confirm current requirements with the relevant office or a lawyer before you act.
