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

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 Duddingston 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 Duddingston seller controls.

Selling property in Duddingston

How do I sell a property in Duddingston?

Duddingston covers the EH15 postcode district of Edinburgh. Conservation village character beside Arthur's Seat and the loch. Lothian Property publishes independent selling information for this area, and publishes selling prices only once they are confirmed against ESPC and Registers of Scotland data.

Flats: what is different in Duddingston

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 Duddingston 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 Duddingston

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 Duddingston house is one of the most common causes of a sale stalling after acceptance.
