Selling property in Craiglockhart

Flats: what is different in Craiglockhart

Get your title deeds and factoring arrangements out early. Buyers' solicitors will ask about the share of common repairs, any outstanding statutory notices and how the stair is maintained, and an unanswered question at that stage costs weeks.

Floor level, stair condition and natural light do more to separate two Craiglockhart flats than square footage. If common areas are shabby, a modest spend before photography is one of the highest-return decisions available to you.

Houses: what is different in Craiglockhart

Family buyers view differently. They measure bedrooms against actual beds, check where a second bathroom could go, and look hard at the garden's aspect and privacy. Present the house so those questions answer themselves.

Where extensions or loft conversions have been done, have the building warrant and completion certificate to hand before marketing. Missing paperwork on a Craiglockhart house is one of the most common causes of a sale stalling after acceptance.

Craiglockhart seller questions

What order should I do things in when selling in Craiglockhart?

Instruct a Scottish solicitor, commission the Home Report, prepare and photograph the property, then market it. In Edinburgh the solicitor concludes missives on your behalf, so having one in place before marketing keeps the sale moving once an offer arrives.

What most often delays a Craiglockhart sale?

Paperwork rather than price: missing building warrants or completion certificates, unresolved common repairs, factoring accounts in arrears, and title queries. Gathering those documents before marketing is the single biggest thing a Craiglockhart seller controls.
