If you are looking to sell your house, you might be searching for a “property sale/ estate agent” on the internet, and when it comes to putting your property on the market, it’s important to know how to prepare the paperwork. With the right preparations, you can sell your house a lot quicker and without unnecessary delays and issues.
Depending on your situation, you will need to have the following documents ready if you want to sell a house: identification, covenant consent, building regulations and/or planning permissions if you have made any alterations or renovations, documents regarding mortgages or secured loans, probate or power of attorney where applicable, plus an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate).
If you need personal advice, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our sales team will be happy to help you to ensure that your sale goes smoothly. Additional documents may be required for leasehold properties, and your property sale/ estate agent will explain this in more detail when they are aware of your individual needs.
When preparing your documents for a property sale/ estate agent, your Energy Performance Certificate needs to be included because it gives interested buyers an idea of how energy efficient the house is, whether they would need to make any renovations, and how much they can expect to pay for energy on a yearly basis. The cost estimates include lighting, heating, and hot water.
In addition to the energy efficiency rating (A-G), the EPC also includes tips on how to improve the building’s energy rating most cost-effectively. Even if you are not pleased with the rating that your house has been given, including the EPC is important.
Your property sale/ estate agent will communicate with interested buyers and go through the Energy Performance Certificate with them, explaining the different sections and helping them understand how to maximise the attributes of the building.
