Selling Your Property

At Aikman Bell we recognise that your home is probably your biggest financial asset, so we aim to treat the process of selling (and/or buying) with the utmost care and attention to the actual transaction itself and to you personally.

Our one-to-one service applies to both the estate agency aspect and the conveyancing aspect, so you can expect a personalised service from the start and throughout the process.  We provide a professional, yet friendly and approachable service at all times.

If you are thinking of moving home in the Edinburgh area, you probably have a lot of questions on your mind.  As local Solicitor-Estate Agents and members of the all important ESPC, we are very well placed to help you, right from the start.  (To learn more about the importance of the ESPC, click here.)

Pre-Home Report Assessment

You will almost certainly need a Home Report before marketing your home.   As the Home Report will be freely available for any potential buyer to read, it is important to be optimally prepared for the surveyor’s visit.

To prospective home sellers, we offer a FREE Property Assessment ahead of arranging the survey.  We can often save you, the owner, a great deal of money and hassle by advising on aspects that the surveyor would be likely to highlight in his report.

Property Valuation

Within the Home Report there is a property Valuation and we can normally give accurate guidance about the likely valuation level the official surveyor will place on a property.  Clearly, this is important if you are looking closely at mortgages for moving forward.

Finding a Buyer

Our job is not complete until we have found a buyer for your home.  Buyers are the lifeblood of the property market and we maintain lists of potential buyers seeking property in your neighbourhood.  Our “Early Bird Buyer” database is good for buyers and even better for SELLERS.  It means we can sometimes have a buyer for a property even before the For Sale board has been erected!
