Crest Nicholson may instruct up to three independent estate agents to undertake valuations of your Existing Home.
We will then make you a proposal on a propose a marketing price for your Existing Home. The realistic sale price may be lower than an initial marketing price and is based on a sale within a specified timescale fixed by us (the “Sale Timeframe”). You have the final say at the price at which the property is marketed, but SmoothMove will not be available if the price at which you wish to market your Existing Home is higher than we think is realistic or the timescale requested by you is too long.
Crest Nicholson reserves the right not to consider or accept your Existing Home for SmoothMove. This may occur during our preliminary discussions with you or after valuations have been undertaken. If this is the case, we will explain the reason for our decision. All valuations and decisions are final.
It is a condition of SmoothMove that:
- no party is currently negotiating to purchase your Existing Home;
- no introduction has already been made by another party; and
- you will not instruct another estate agent to sell your Existing Home until the Sale Timeframe has ended.
If In the event that any existing contract with your estate agent cannot be cancelled without penalty, or if there is a penalty for dual agency, Crest Nicholson will not be liable for any extra fees as we cannot be responsible for obligations contained in third party contracts. Please note that you will be responsible for dis-instructing your existing estate agent and for any abortive costs or dual agency fees according to your contract.
We will:
- decide which estate agent we instruct and the terms of that appointment to sell your Existing Home;
- work closely with the instructed estate agent to ensure your home is frequently advertised; and
- ensure feedback is reported on all viewings.
You may need to leave a full set of keys or agree access times for potential buyers with the appointed estate agent.
It is not guaranteed that a buyer will be found for your Existing Home or that any buyer will be willing to pay the price you want.
