Sell Your Gecko Home

At Gecko, we understand that circumstances change, and you may decide to sell your Shared Ownership home.

No matter the size of your Shared Ownership share, you have the flexibility to sell your property. As housing market conditions evolve, your home's value may fluctuate since your initial purchase.

But rest assured, we've streamlined the selling process to make it hassle-free for you. We've teamed up with Redwing Living to provide the full estate agency service for Shared Owners. They provide professional brochures and floor plans, the properties will be advertised on Rightmove and emailed over to their interest lists they have in your areas.

Why do I have to have a RICS valuation done?

As part of teaming up with Redwing, we stick to the terms of your lease and a RICS valuation is the right way to value your home so that they know how much to put it on the market for.

Your RICS valuation is covered in the fee you pay Redwing Living.

Why do I need an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?

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.

Can I sell 100% of my home?

Redwing Living always aim to sell your home to someone who would benefit from buying through Shared Ownership first. If a buyer hasn’t snapped up your home during the nomination period (usually 4-8 weeks) there are two options. They can continue marketing and finding a Shared Ownership buyer or you can ask a local estate agent to market the full 100% value and sell it on the open market.

I’ve found a home that I’d like to buy, how do I proceed?

It's great to hear you’re on the lookout for a new place. Just a little heads-up though, it’s wise to have an offer on your current home before diving into the house hunt, just to sidestep any let-downs.

Redwing Living be on the case, doing there best to find a buyer for your home as quickly as we can. Whilst our homes are often snapped up as soon as they market them, they can't give you an exact timeline on when this will be. They're fast, but not fortune-tellers so it's worth making sure they have a confirmed offer before committing to somewhere else. 

If we can help find you another Gecko Home, please get in touch with our sales team on 0330 995 1333.
