You’ve actually taken the first step towards selling your house by visiting the peapod website.

If you think peapod’s caring philosophy, and fresh approach, is appealing - let us explain, briefly, how we go about selling your home.

1. Understanding you, and your particular needs.
   On our first visit to your home we do more than measure the kitchen and pick at the paintwork.
   We’ll sit down and talk to you about the whole process. Why you’re moving, where you want to move to and the concerns that you have. We will also review your financial position and provide guidance on a way forward. Of course we’ll also give you a free market valuation and property appraisal, as well as outlining our fees.
2. Instructing peapod to sell your home.
   Once we’ve got the go-ahead to sell your home we’ll sit down and agree the costs, answer your questions and get the house onto the market as swiftly as possible. Our energy assessor can help with part of the HIPs requirement, and we’ll get down to the marketing of your home.
3. Catching people’s attention - marketing your home
   Our eye-catching for sale sign is just one of the marketing tools that we use to generate interest from
   potential buyers.
   Other sales methods include:
   * A brochure with prepared sales details of your home including photographs, descriptions of each room and measurements.
   * Photo and descriptive of your home will be loaded onto www.peapodestates.co.uk
   * Photo and descriptive of your home will be loaded onto www.rightmove.co.uk
   * Full page advertising in the local newspaper
   * E-marketing to our database of registered buyers
   * Brochure and leaflets displayed in our Shaw office, as well as on a large plasma screen display.
   * HIP for each property being marketed
   peapod will also spend time advising you on a range of simple ways to enhance chances of selling your property - like freshly painted outside woodwork and trimmed and tidy lawns.
4. Day to day managing of the sale
   Our caring philosophy is closely allied to our belief that communication is key throughout the sales process. peapod will update you, inform you and guide you, continually. And we encourage customers to pop into our office at any time.
   Customers showing interest in your property will be found a time slot to visit that suits you. Alternatively peapod can accompany viewers in your absence. But we don’t leave it there. There is an automatic follow up where peapod contact potential buyers to get feedback, which is then passed on to you.
   Running in parallel to the sales and marketing process, peapod can also help you with finding the mortgage that best suits your financial circumstances.
   Once an offer is made, we swiftly forward this to you by phone and follow up with written confirmation. It’s then up to you to accept, or not. At the same time peapod investigates the potential buyer’s financial status and current stage in the buying and selling chain.
   If there’s more than one offer, we will advise and guide in your best interests based on our assessment of the offers on the table.
   Once you’ve decided to accept an offer it’s all systems go and the legal side of the operation is brought into play.
5. The legal bit
   It’s now getting exciting, and we don’t want the legal beagles slowing things down, do we?
   Once you’ve accepted the offer, peapod will liaise with your solicitor to progress the sale. And if you don’t have a solicitor, we’ve got a list of recommended companies.
   We know that this is a time where frustrations and angst can set in, and we’ll do our best to keep things running smoothly, and swiftly.
   We’ll make sure that you get regular updates by phone and by e-mail.
   And we’ll ensure that all parties are working together towards the same end.
   Of course if you want to appoint your own solicitor we’ll liaise with them.
   And remember that our policy is one of no sale, no fee, which means that if we don’t sell your home, you don’t pay conveyancing or estate agency fees.
