Answer: The timeline can vary depending on the market and the buyer’s chain. On average, it takes between 8 to 12 weeks from agreeing on a sale to the final completion. We use targeted marketing to find the right buyer as quickly as possible.

Answer: No, you don’t have to. Our experienced local agents can conduct all viewings on your behalf, ensuring potential buyers get a professional, comprehensive, and secure tour of your home.

Answer: The primary costs include your estate agency fees, conveyancing (solicitor) fees, and the cost of an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) if you do not already have a valid one. We pride ourselves on transparent pricing with no hidden charges.

Answer: While major renovations are not always necessary, a fresh coat of neutral paint, decluttering, and ensuring the property is deeply cleaned can significantly boost its appeal and help achieve the maximum asking price.

Answer: An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates how energy-efficient your property is. Yes, it is a strict legal requirement in the UK to have a valid EPC in place before your property can be marketed for sale.

Question About Renting

Essential information for tenants and landlords across the UK.

Answer: In the UK, the tenancy deposit is legally capped at five weeks’ rent for properties with an annual rent under £50,000. Your deposit will be safely registered in a government-approved Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS).

Answer: To comply with UK law, tenants must provide proof of ID (such as a passport or biometric residence permit). You will also need to provide employer references, recent bank statements, and proof of your current address to secure a property through Micromax Property.

Answer: Most residential lettings in the UK use an Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST) agreement. The standard initial fixed term is usually between 6 and 12 months, after which it can be renewed or moved to a rolling periodic tenancy.

Answer: Landlords are responsible for major structural repairs, heating, hot water, and electrical systems. Tenants are responsible for day-to-day upkeep and must report any maintenance issues promptly.
