How to sell your home with Haslams Estate Agents
-
Step 1
Invite us to value your home
Show us around and share your moving plans with us, and we’ll share our knowledge of the Reading housing market with you. We’ll give you honest and realistic advice about the market value of your home and we’ll recommend an appropriate asking price. We’ll also explain the options available for your sale, including sealed bid, modern method of sale, and traditional private treaty. Before we leave, we’ll clearly explain the next steps to you.
-
Step 2
Stand out from the crowd
Our in-house marketing team will present your home at its very best, with professional photos and floor plans included as standard. You’ll receive exposure across a multitude of media, including our own website (with over 10,000 users a month), Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket, PrimeLocation, Facebook, Instagram, our in-office and outdoor digital screens, direct mailers, and bespoke email campaigns.

Step 5
Sail through the legal process
Our highly-rated sales progression team (check out our 5* Google reviews!) will guide you through from sale to completion; following up with your solicitor, your buyer’s solicitor, and any other agents in the chain. We’ll ensure you know what you need to do, when and how, making the whole selling process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
-
Step 6
Exchange and move
Once all parties in the chain are ready and you’re happy with the contracts, you’ll sign and exchange them. As a guide, it can typically take 4-12 weeks between your property sale being agreed and contracts exchanging. Just before exchange, you’ll mutually agree your completion date with all parties in the chain. On moving day, we’ll phone you as soon as the completion is confirmed – and then it’s time to celebrate!
