Selling Homes the Right Way

Selling your property isn’t about getting it online quickly and hoping for the best. It’s about setting the right price, presenting it properly, and reaching motivated buyers. At Lloyds, we price homes accurately from the start, so they don’t sit on the market losing value. We use professional photography, portrait-style video, and clear descriptions to showcase each property at its best. And you’ll always deal with an experienced member of our team—someone who understands your situation and will keep you updated every step of the way.

Why Sell With Lloyds

At Lloyds, selling isn’t about getting your property online quickly and hoping for the best. It’s about strategy, accuracy, and a team that genuinely cares about the result. Too many agents inflate valuations, tie clients into long contracts, and disappear once the board is up. We do the opposite. We set the right price first time, using real-time market data and decades of local experience. This means your property attracts serious buyers quickly and avoids the price reductions that damage momentum.

12 Step Selling Process

Valuation

Pitching the price of your property correctly is a skill. Too high and you won’t receive any interest. Too low and the property sells for much less than it is worth. An accurate valuation pulls together information from several resources: The cosmetic, general structural condition and future potential of the property & the prices achieved for similar properties in the area. This information is reviewed and an appropriate asking price is offered to you.

12 Step Selling Process

Selecting an estate agent

Selecting the perfect estate agent to represent your interest is most important. Sound local knowledge, well trained highly motivated staff; clear, fair terms of business, a competitive fee structure and a proven history of securing sales should be high on your list of priorities. The agent that gives you the highest valuation is not always the best for you. Our staff are trained to an exceptionally high standard so you can rely on us.

12 Step Selling Process

Obtain an EPC

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates the energy efficiency of a property and its carbon emissions. As of 6th April 2012, the EPC details should be displayed on all property particulars and it is now a legal requirement to provide an EPC for most properties in England and Wales.

12 Step Selling Process

Instructing a solicitor (conveyancer)

You will need to decide who will do your conveyancing. Conveyancing is the term used to describe the legal process you must go through when buying or selling a home. Conveyancing can be done by a solicitor or a licensed conveyancer. Find out what their fees are, what other legal costs are involved and when these are payable. We can recommend a solicitor if you do not have one.

12 Step Selling Process

Presenting your property

Prospective buyers will come to view your property, by appointment through the estate agent. Ensure your home is tidy and clean. De-clutter and take down any personal photographs for viewings – it makes the property less personal to you and more of a blank canvas for those looking around.

12 Step Selling Process

Marketing your property

To find the right buyer your property needs maximum exposure across a wide range of media. We offer a range of important marketing benefits which will aid in getting you the best possible price. To raise the profile of your property we always recommend these following methods: Erecting a For Sale board – This is one of the most effective ways to advertise and attract buyers to your property. They really do work and they advertise your property 24 hours every day. E-mail – The world of technology now enables us to send your property all around the world with a simple click of a button. Direct marketing – We will contact any prospective purchasers who are registered with us and inform them of your property within minutes of receiving your instructions. Any details will be sent via any methods of communication including emails and SMS alerts. Targeting a direct market of registers applicants ensures we don't get time wasters. Website and property portals – Our website is updated instantly and full details of your home will be placed as soon as details have been approved. In addition to advertising on our website, we also advertise in local press and through national property portals.

12 Step Selling Process

Accompanied viewings

Lloyds Estates believe that flexible opening times are essential to maximize viewing opportunities for your home. We know that our customers need to work around their usual daily commitments, resulting in a large number of our clients viewing after work or at weekends. Accompanied viewings allow us to share our expert knowledge on your property to achieve competitive offers. The safety of our clients is paramount therefore we never allow prospective buyers to visit un-accompanied.

12 Step Selling Process

Receiving an offer

All offers will be reported both verbally and in writing and we will check all offers for their validity and ask for proof of funds. We will also conduct checks under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and Money Laundering Regulations 2003 and ensure that any mortgage offer is verified. In the case of multiple offers, we will advise you on the best course of action. We will always try to achieve the best possible price for your home and act in your best interests throughout the transaction.

12 Step Selling Process

Offer agreed

Before an offer is agreed we will check the buyer's ability to purchase a property. We can also contact the buyer's personal mortgage adviser to confirm their financial commitment. This minimises the risk of a purchase falling through. At the point of a sale being agreed, we will liaise with both your solicitor and the buyer's solicitor and prepare the memorandum of sale and we will write to all parties confirming the agreed details of the sale. Your solicitor will request the title deeds from the lender (if appropriate). The solicitor will prepare the draft contract, which details the terms of the sale, and send it to the buyers' solicitor together with all relevant documents. The buyer's solicitor will then start the preliminary checks. The Title Deeds and Lease (if applicable) will be checked and local searches carried out. Remember that in England an offer is not legally binding, so until contracts have exchanged your buyer could change their minds without financial loss.

12 Step Selling Process

Exchange contracts

At this stage both parties become legally committed to the sale, and if it falls through from this point onwards then the deposit is forfeited. Contracts are signed by both parties and the solicitor requests the buyer's deposit. A completion date is set and agreed upon by both you and the purchaser. Unless agreed otherwise (e.g. a simultaneous exchange and completion) the completion date can be anything up to 28 days from the date of exchange.

12 Step Selling Process

Organise your move

Normally both parties will want a short period of time between exchange of contracts and completion to organise their move. If you haven’t done so already you should have arranged all packing and removal duties, informed everyone of your change of address and booked any disconnections/re-connections of services for your new home. Remember on the date of completion the property is legally owned by the new buyers so allow plenty of time to move out. Don’t forget the cat!

12 Step Selling Process

Completion

Completion occurs when all outstanding legalities have been completed and the balance of funds are transferred to your solicitor. The solicitor will let you know when this has happened and will inform us so that we can release the keys.

Seller Testimonials

I recommend Lloyd’s to anyone selling their property. They were knowledgable, efficient and transparent and ‘got the job’ done well, making what can be a stressful time, as easy as possible for me. Sam Eyre especially, was very helpful and reassuring throughout the whole process, keeping me updated every step of the way and always at the other end of a phone to answer any questions I had.

Tracy Davis

Patrick, Sam, Dan & Katie are all a wonderful team to work with. They helped us sell our house and were with us every step of the way, from our first introductions, quickly securing a buyer through quite a protracted roller coaster caused by the a several players in the chain on both sides of selling and buying transaction. If it was not for their personal approach, proactiveness and responsiveness we would have certainly not managed the stress and anxiety of moving home. I would highly recommend Lloyds Estate Agents for their fair, professional and attentive approach. Thank you to the whole team at Lloyds and a special thanks to Sam.

Belinda Lakha

I recently sold my property with LLoyd Estate Agents in Woodford Green, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service I received. Pat, Sam, and Dan were an absolute pleasure to deal with. From the initial enquiries right through to completion, they managed the entire process seamlessly. Communication was excellent throughout — we were consistently kept in the loop and updated at every stage. The team offered a very personal, attentive service. They were friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about the local area. Their attention to detail and coordination really held the chain together, ensuring everything progressed smoothly. Interestingly, LLoyd Estates weren’t my first choice. I met Pat for the first time at a property I was viewing and was immediately impressed by his knowledge, experience, and low-pressure approach. That first impression was so strong that we decided to go with LLoyds over some of the larger, well-known agents— and I’m so glad we did. I would not hesitate to use them again and strongly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell in the area. Five star Service!

Kris Lakha

So impressed was I with a viewing of a house listed by Lloyds Estate Agents, that I asked them, then and there, to sell my house too. My ask was not exhaustive. I needed an honest, reliable, efficient and effective team of agents to work with. I had failed to find these combined qualities in any team I met prior to the bunch from Lloyds. I largely dealt with Patrick, and sometimes Sam, who between them have a reassuringly professional approach to buying and selling property. I was kept updated, informed and even educated throughout the entire process. When the metaphorical rocks appeared in the road, Patrick did his utmost to kick them aside to ensure the process was back on track. He persisted until he got the results we were after - this I admired. In fact, the distance between finding an appropriate buyer and actual completion, was so swift, I was almost left spinning. It is important to add that working with Lloyds Estate Agents enabled better and more effective communication between my solicitor and my buyers. When they became silent, Patrick stepped in to triangulate the messages. This saved time, money and headache pills. Lastly, Lloyds Estates have great frontline representatives and a strong no nonsense back office team. I am delighted with the service I received. It was even enjoyable - overall. Would I use Lloyds Estate Agents again? Yes! Would I recommend them to others? I already have.

Claudette Purville

We cannot recommend Patrick, Sam and Katie enough to other sellers in Walthamstow/Leytonstone area. They did a great job on the sale of our house - from the initial marketing material (which was excellent), to the effort on viewings and communication with us along the way. They were always listening, going the extra mile, and sustaining the momentum. Their office is in Woodford rather than in the immediate vicinity, and this really wasn’t an issue - they proactively pushed the sale as well as anyone could have, and always made me feel like they were on my team (rather than pushing a buyer’s agenda in order to broker a deal). Thank you guys - it’s been a pleasure and wouldn’t hesitate to work with you again.

Jonathan Cole

Lloyd’s were the sole agents for selling our property in Walthamstow. From start to finish the whole process was absolutely seamless and like a well oiled machine. Patrick was amazing from day 1, always available and kept us fully informed at every stage. Sam, Katie and team were solid supports at every stage in the process. They say buying/selling your home is amongst the most stressful things. In our case it was absolutely not so, thanks to Patrick and the team at Lloyds. Thanks team for making this such an easy process. We wish you the very best for the future.

Samuel Talker

All of the team were amazing and super helpful in selling our home. Even when our original buyer pulled out the extra support to help us find a new buyer and keep the house we were purchasing was amazing. As we got closer to completion I think Patrick went into overdrive, as we didn’t always get much news from the solicitors or the other estate agents he would always update us and eased our concerns through a stressful period of moving house.

Eric Kelly

Lloyds were great to deal with, friendly and efficient and sold our house in no time at all. Nothing was too much trouble, was able to give sound advice and very easy to talk toz. They were trustworthy showing people around our home, was so pleased we chose them and would recommend 100%. Keep up the good work, you’re a great team. Patrick, Dan, Sam and Katie thank you!

Josephine Sweeney

All staff including Patrick, Daniel, Sam & Katie were extremely helpful and sold our house where we thought it wouldn’t be possible. Throughout the process we were able to work together where solicitors have no sense of urgency. Would highly recommend as a reputable company.

Phil Mills

The experience afforded me by Patrick and his team whilst selling my mother's house was first class. I was kept informed and advised throughout the process. I would certainly use Lloyds Residential again.

Susan Crossley

Why Choose Lloyds?

I absolutely recommend them.

They have a really great wealth of understanding of the local area, and the wider area. The whole thing just went really smoothly.

Orla

Easy to get on with and no messing around. Couldn't wish for a better company to be with us on our journey!

Bruno

Personal and respectful

All the people that have met them are pleased with Patrick and his company! I would highly recommend!

Claudette

Filled with confidence after the first call!

Whenever I sent an email I got an instant response! Sam, Patrick, the rest of the team, they're very good.
