Fall throughs and cancelled sales are one of the worst things that we as estate agents have to deal with. They cause stress and anxiety to our customers and can shatter people dreams. At Aldreds we do everything we can to make sure your sale runs as smoothly as possible. We only recommend solicitors and conveyancers in this area who know the local market, types of properties and their customers. We also do strong due diligence on all sales before we go ahead. All buyers must provide ID and proof of cash or an agreement in principle for their mortgage before we go ahead with any sale. We also carry out vigorous checks in to the ongoing sales in the chain at offer stage. As the sale moves forward we monitor the process and talk to other estate agents and solicitors in the chain to make sure things are progressing well. Any issues we see developing can be managed swiftly. Communication is the key to getting a sale completed successfully. On the day you move we endeavour to help ease the stress as much as possible. Where possible we get keys in to our offices the night before so they are ready to hand over on completion the next day. We cannot release those keys until we get the call to say the sale has completed! Please don’t shoot the messenger!
