In a market that is constantly changing, the Great Estate Chesterton Real Estate Group’s goal is to advise the seller of the real market value of their property and to identify potential buyers.
Our aim is to find the right buyer who appreciates the history of your property.
HERE ARE THE STEPS WE FOLLOW TO MARKET YOUR PROPERTY:
The property valuation
Our goal is to provide the best service for our clientele. For each property we will carry out a valuation report
(see attached file) and propose the best plan and advice for marketing your property.
The valuation will be based on the property markets at the time. This valuation will dictate the real market value of the property. The valuation
(see attached file) is free of charge if the property owner agrees and signs the contract of consent with our agency. Failing that, the seller will be charged € 500 for properties valued up to 2 million and € 1,000 for properties above 2 million. Prior to the inspection of the property, the owner will sign a property valuation sheet. It is not the agency’s policy to work on undertakings that differ by more than 10% from the true market valuation prepared by us and the price requested by the seller.
The Survey
First, we carry out an inspection of the property by assessing its’ strengths and weaknesses. We complete, together with the owner, the unique "identity card of the property"
(see attached file) aimed at acquiring all the essential property information.
Prior to the inspection we will need to see all the relevant documentation
(see attached file) pertaining to the property.( title deeds, floor plans, both of the property and land, property registration and permissions)
Property verification
This initial procedure is essential to outline the profile of the property and to resolve any issues that might affect the success of the sale. These checks are based, primarily, on planning permissions etc., relevant certificates and property tax matters. It will also be necessary for a report to be drawn up by a technical adviser containing the following information:
A Technical report carried out by a registered professional confirming the compliance of urban planning matters, property registration matters and the conformity of all electrical, plumbing and heating installations including the following details:
-Date of property construction including a list of all relevant planning consents, complete with accurate floor plans.
-Copy of all property registration documentation ( D.L.31.5.2010 n.78)
-Certificate of habitation “abitabilità/agibilità”
-European Energy Classification Certificate
-Copy of the following Certificates or reason for non possession:
• Compliance certificate for electrical installation
• Compliance Certificate for plumbing and heating installations.
• Boiler maintenance booklet
• Compliance Certificate for connection to mains sewerage
-Property search document, copy of Title and any relevant legal or financial charges or liens etc.
Sale Contracts
Great Estate Chesterton Real Estate agency works primarily on an exclusive
(see attached file) basis but in special cases may also accept non exclusivity. For exclusivity, Great Estate Chesterton real estate Group charge 4% commission. The exclusive contract specifies that the agency has the sole responsibility for the property sale. It allows the Agency to better organize and increase the saleability of the property.
The non-exclusive
(see attached file) contract allows the seller to make simultaneous agreements with other real estate agencies for the sale. With this agreement, the owner is required to update the Great Estate Chesterton Group on any ongoing negotiations. For non-exclusivity, the agency charges 6% commission. These commissions vary depending on the type of contract that the Great Estate and Chesterton real estate group make for each property.
Verbal contracts are not part of the agency’s policy.
Property Brochure
After acquiring the property we will design a sales brochure with a detailed report highlighting the specific individual characteristics of the property in Italian, English, Russian, French, Dutch and German.
Photo service
AlPhotographs are essential when selling your property. For this, we have an in-house photographer and a graphic designer who carries out all the art work for each property. Short video films of your property can also be arranged.
Reports and Updates
It is essential for us to keep in contact with our clients so we send regular reports to keep you informed of the progress of the sale, including reports taken from our data-base.
