Selling Your Home in Retirement - Complete Guide
Making your move quick & easy
Moving home is a big decision and comes with a lot of leg work. Our team is here to support you to make the move and with years of experience, will discuss the best options available to you and your situation. You can manage the process yourself, enlisting an agent and selling on the open market, or if you want to move quickly and stress-free, our partners at Spring make moving house, a doddle. Read on to find out more about stress-free moving.
Option 1. Home Buying Service
Spring's Home Buying Service enables you to sell your home directly to a third-party buyer, removing the need to market your property through an estate agent or wait for a purchaser to be found. This can help make your move to a Retirement Villages property quicker and more straightforward.
In return for the speed, certainty and convenience offered by the service, any offer made for your property will be below its independently assessed market value. You may achieve a higher sale price by selling your home on the open market rather than using this service.
Before making an offer, Spring will arrange an independent assessment of your property's market value. Following this, you will receive a formal offer and there is no obligation to accept it. If a survey later identifies issues that affect the property's value and the offer is reduced, you are under no obligation to proceed.
There is no charge to you for using the Home Buying Service, and you remain free to withdraw from the process at any stage before contracts are exchanged.
As every person's financial circumstances are different, we recommend that you seek independent financial advice before deciding whether the Home Buying Service is right for you.
This service can help eligible customers move into their new home more quickly, sometimes in as little as seven days, while avoiding many of the uncertainties associated with a traditional property sale.
Option 2. Managed Sale Service
Spring’s Managed Sale Service provides you with an all-inclusive solution if you want to sell your property via an estate agent. Working in partnership with Spring’s panel of over 2,500 of the UK’s leading estate agency branches, Spring will manage the entire sale for you saving you time and effort.
