Selling a House in Eastbourne?

Southdown Surveyors provide a professional residential sales service with competitive fees to clients in Eastbourne and Sussex. Whether you are selling your family home, flat, bungalow or apartment, we have the expertise and local knowledge to coordinate an efficient and stress-free sale from start to finish.

How to sell your house successfully:

Preparing for viewings

When preparing a property for viewings it is important to ensure that it is presentable and tidy. Southdown's experienced team will be on hand to give any recommendations for dressing a property, from displaying flowers and pictures to painting a wall or moving furniture around. We like to think that potential buyers can look past a bright yellow wall, but the truth is that not everyone can. 

The marketing commences

We believe that properties’ best features need highlighting, therefore we will always point out character features such as bay windows, contemporary kitchens, high ceilings, picture rails, spotlights and much more. Our details are in-depth and offer floorplans, room measurements and any applicable leasehold information. Providing as much information as possible at the start will decrease the chance of there being any hidden surprises throughout the conveyancing process.

Behind the Scenes

It is a common mis-conception that once a sale is agreed estate agents ‘sit back and relax’ when in fact the other half of the job starts. We need to ensure that all solicitors have clear communication and to keep all parties informed of any updates throughout the process. We will carry out regular sales progression and liaise with solicitors, other estate agents and both the buyer and seller to ensure everyone is up to date and the sale is progressing as smoothly as possible. We are also available for advice and to offer a helping hand where your solicitor may not be able to, from recommending removal companies and mortgage advisors to arranging completion dates between parties.

What are the costs of selling a house?

Every property is unique and so too is every sale. This is why we offer our clients a choice of three different sale packages, ranging from our Absolute service to our Advanced option, on to our Complete premier service.

All three offer high quality photographs, floorplans, a bespoke personalised brochure, access to our professional and pro-active team, advertising on our website, social media pages and Rightmove. Our more more detailed packages offer the options of out of hour viewings, premium property listings and a property launch open day.

We have a package to assist everyone with the costs of selling a house. Contact us today to go through your requirements, timescales and budgets and start your journey to completion. To see our current properties for sale in Eastbourne and East Sussex, please visit our sales page on Rightmove.

We have recently completed a Major Works project on our block of flats with Southdown Surveyors. I am happy to advise that the whole process has been painless and successful.

The project commenced and continued with appropriate advice and guidance; from beginning to end. Progress meetings were frequent and helpful. The contractors work was appropriately inspected/supervised throughout and the scaffolding was down within days of contract completion. 

My previous experiences with major works projects were not happy ones with poor quality work, inadequate supervision and poor surveyor/contractor relationships and massive delays with scaffolding removals. 

On this occasion my fellow Directors and I felt we were fully consulted and advised on options and outcomes and delighted that we came in within a few pounds over budget.

I have no hesitation in highly recommending Southdown Surveyors for Major Works projects.
