5. Viewings - Our staff will be delighted to accompany potential purchasers through your property. Keys are never given out and your property will be left secure after our visit. Certain individuals prefer viewing directly with an agent, as they can take their time at a property without the thought of offending an owner if they don't particularly like what they see! Our experience will give us an intuition of who is generally keen and impressed with your property. All viewing will be followed up within 24 hours and you will be given feedback on what viewers thought.

8. Exchange of Contracts - Once your purchaser has received formal mortgage offer, they are ready to exchange contracts with you, the vendor. Contract will be signed by both parties and a completion date will be set at this stage.
