To sell your Shared Ownership home, you're going to need a current EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) and a RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors) Valuation. If you haven’t got either of these, just ask and we can help.
Depending on the terms of your lease, there will be between a 4-8 week nomination period for us to find a buyer for your home. If you think now is the right time to sell your home, then get in touch with our team and we’ll get everything moving in the right direction.
It’s usually around 1.5% + vat of the agreed sale price of your share when we have sold it. Just ask though and we’ll let you know.
Our Gecko team is all about getting your home the spotlight it deserves. We whip up all the shiny marketing content, pop your place on our website (and property search sites like Share to Buy & Zoopla), promote your home across our social media, and reach out with mailers and calls to potential buyers who can’t wait to find a home like yours. Plus, we’re always here to take calls, live chats and emails, ready to dish out info to anyone curious about your home.
When we catch the eye of the right buyer, one of our agents will jump into action to smooth out the finer details. We’ll check out the buyer to make sure everything's right for both you and them, handle any questions on your behalf, and chat with solicitors to keep the ball rolling to the finish line.
As part of teaming up with us, we stick to the terms of your lease and a RICS valuation is the right way to value your home so that we know how much to put it on the market for.
You can pay for an independent RICS valuation on your home and send us the paperwork, or if you need a hand finding one, give us a shout and we'll connect you with an independent expert who knows their stuff.
Letting people know how snuggly and energy-efficient your home is comes with the territory. It's the law, but the cool thing is if your home is still relatively new (under 10 years old), you're all set with an EPC and if you don't know where it is, we'll probably already have it. If you're unsure or need to sort one, we’re here to help you.
