Coronavirus: How you can still buy and sell your home

We may all be following social distancing rules under the coronavirus lockdown but that does not mean your property search or home sale is completely on hold.   

During this time of uncertainty surrounding coronavirus (COVID-19), please be assured that AMAZING RESULTS!™ is committed to serving you with the same level of dedication and care that thousands of buyers and sellers have come to know and expect. 

We are very much open for business and our team of Professional Estate Agents across Scotland are working hard to support in any way we can either over the phone, by email or via video conferencing.

We know that as you prepare to buy or sell a home, the current environment may cause additional stress. To help support buyers and sellers, we’re tracking your questions and answering some of them here. 

Whether you are looking for some advice or partway through a move, here are some answers and actions we are taking to help you navigate the crisis. We’ll keep updating this page as the situation evolves and as more answers become available.

I want to book a viewing, or offer on a property but I’m not sure how the situation with COVID-19 will continue to evolve. What should I do? These are uncertain times, but what we can tell you is that the demand and decision to buy a home is currently still very, very strong and properties are still being visited millions of times every single day on Rightmove, Zoopla, Primelocation and AMAZINGRESULTS.com.

If you want to buy a new home, there are still plenty of things you can do to kick-start your search while in lockdown. We have invested heavily in the tools and technology to enable our employees and Agents to work entirely remotely. This includes practicing social distancing, implementing work-from-home policies, and expanding cleaning schedules to maintain safe environments.

Although we are not able to conduct physical viewings at the present time, we can however work with you to Identify & search for homes that meet your criteria. All our properties include a video tour and any interested buyers will have the full benefit of this feature. We can provisionally book a viewing or even accept offers subject to a personal viewing later. For extra peace of mind, we recommend noting an interest with us for any property you are particularly keen on.  

Understandably, you may feel uncertain about buying a property right now but we strongly urge all buyers to get in touch as soon a possible to ensure they do not lose out on any new homes. It is still worth calling us for a chat about the type of property you’re looking for, as we may have your dream home waiting to go to market as soon as the restrictions are lifted.

Check out mortgage lenders too, or use our Mortgage Calculator at www.AMAZINGRESULTS.com. Our own Independent mortgage partners offer a suite of digital tools that allow buyers to get pre-approved online, or by phone, and to complete and sign mortgage documents digitally.

I listed my home For Sale recently, and I can’t decide if I should  keep it on the market. Should I remove it? We’re in unprecedented times, but remember Covid-19 is temporary and we will recover. Despite current circumstances, we’re still seeing buyers and sellers move forward with their plans in what is historically an active Spring market. So, if your home is already on the market there is no reason to withdraw it. 

Your local Professional Estate Agent is likely to be having similar conversations with potential buyers, so they may be able to line up some interested parties to view your home once the lockdown is over.

I bought a property. What do I need to know? Many sales are temporarily paused until at least May 7, 2020. Solicitors, mortgage brokers and Estate Agents are working hard to keep the cogs turning as efficiently and safely as possible during the coronavirus lockdown. It’s also worth noting that the government has not banned property transactions from going through. Instead, it is encouraging people involved in the transaction to agree an alternative date on which to move. Please contact us today if you have any questions or would like to discuss your property purchase. 

I listed my property with another Estate Agent and would like to change Agent. Can I cancel my Agreement?  Yes. Let’s face it. You want to get your house sold for the highest possible price in the least time on the market with the least inconvenience to you. At AMAZING RESULTS! we can provide you with the information you need to make the right decisions for you and your sale. Experience sells – talk to a skilled Estate Agent professional. Your choice of Estate Agent matters. To check out your options, without obligation, please call our support team on 0845 301 2222. 

A free special report called “How to Sell a House that Didn’t Sell“ is available on www.AMAZINGRESULTS.com/why-your-sellers/your-house-didnt-sell
