4. Conducting Viewings and Gathering Feedback

Viewings are where buyers fall in love with your home.

We handle every viewing personally — no rushed open houses, no unqualified visitors. After each one, you’ll receive honest feedback so we can adjust strategy if needed.

Our goal is to keep momentum high and interest consistent.

5. Receiving Offers and Negotiating

When offers come in, we help you assess them clearly. The highest offer isn’t always the best one.

We’ll explain each buyer’s position — whether they’re chain-free, mortgage-approved, or flexible on timing — so you can make a confident decision.

Our skilled negotiation ensures you secure the best outcome, not just the biggest number.

6. Accepting an Offer and Instructing Solicitors

Once you’ve accepted an offer, you’ll appoint a solicitor or conveyancer to handle the legal side of your sale.

We’ll provide trusted local recommendations if needed, and coordinate communication between all parties to keep things moving.

This stage usually takes 8–10 weeks, depending on the chain.

7. Managing the Chain

If your buyer is also selling, you’ll be part of a property chain. This can add complexity, but Integra Estates keeps your sale on track through proactive chain management.

We liaise directly with solicitors and other agents, ensuring each link progresses smoothly — preventing small issues from causing big delays.

Our calm, methodical approach keeps your sale secure all the way to completion.

8. Exchanging Contracts

Exchange is the point where your sale becomes legally binding. Your solicitor and buyer’s solicitor confirm all documents, and the buyer transfers their deposit.

Once exchange happens, you can confidently start planning your move-out date.

Most exchanges in Beckenham occur within 10–12 weeks of the offer being accepted.

9. Completion and Moving Day

Completion is when funds are transferred, ownership changes, and you hand over the keys. 🎉

We’ll coordinate timings with all parties and make sure everything runs smoothly. Our team stays in touch right through the final day — because our service doesn’t stop at “sold.”

10. After Completion: Next Steps

Once your sale is complete, we can assist with:

• Recommendations for removal services

• Advice on your onward purchase

• Helping you re-enter the Beckenham market later if you’re relocating temporarily

Selling your home should feel empowering, not stressful — and we’re here to ensure exactly that.
