Re-selling your property Thank you for your enquiry about selling your property. The enclosed information pack offers a step by step guide and gives you an indication of the costs and timescales involved. Please read this information carefully. All properties marketed for sale in England & Wales will need an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) before they can be marketed. Please go to our website (www.a2dominion.co.uk) for more information. Buying and selling your home can be an exciting and emotional affair; we hope to aid you through to a successful sale. If you are looking to buy another home, it is advisable you do not commit to a purchase until you have found a buyer for your current home. We are unable to market your property if you are in arrears, therefore please speak to your Income Officer if you are in any doubt. They can be contacted through Customer Services on 0800 432 0077 We have listed the Resale steps below.

The day prior to your open day a Customer Services Officer will email over to you a copy of your viewing schedule, with the details of anyone who has been booked in for your open day. As far as possible attendees will be booked in close together so you do not have to remain at your property for long periods of time waiting for another person to attend. If no one has been booked in for your open day a Customer Services Officer will contact you one working day before to let you know and a member of the Resales team will contact you to arrange another open day. Whilst your property s marketed with us we will hold open days until a buyer is found. The contact number you provide on page 14 of your Resale Booklet will be given to all attendees, so they can contact you if they are running late or cannot make it on the day. A member of the Resales Team will then contact you after your open day to provide you with an update. From time to time we may be required to arrange viewings on an ad-hoc basis, when this is needed we will provide your contact number to the person interested in viewing, so they can arrange an appointment directly with you. In these cases please email the Resales Team at resales@a2dominion.co.uk to inform us of the day and time you arranged with them and complete the Viewing Log Sheet on pg 15 of this booklet and retain for your records. five Eligible buyers A2Dominion have to do regulatory checks on potential buyers to confirm they are registered with appropriate bodies and comply with any nomination criteria before a sale can be agreed. If more than one applicant is interested in buying your home we are legally required to prioritise the applicants with the highest need. Once a sale is agreed we obtain solicitors details from both you and your buyer. Page 7
six - Conveyance process A Memorandum of Sale (MOS) is prepared formalising the sale of your property. This document is issued to all parties and their solicitors. We aim to follow up your sale every two weeks, subject to the stage of your transaction. Your buyer s solicitor will raise enquiries with your solicitor about your home. The number of enquires raised can vary from solicitor to solicitor which will affect the length of time the sale takes to complete. The leasehold enquires are automatically requested from our Leashold Team once your MOS is issued. It will take up to 28 days for them to be completed. They cost 110+VAT and the fee is collected upon completion of the sale of your property. Our leasehold team start to prepare the Leasehold Pack once the Memorandum of Sale has been issued. Please note therefore that the fee for the leasehold pack is still chargeable even if you withdraw your property from the market. A2Dominion will instruct their solicitors who will be responsible for providing a guidance pack to your solicitor on the sale of your home and they will also arrange for the necessary paperwork to be prepared, which would allow your sale to complete. There is a charge for the work our solicitors will do, which will be around 350-450 depending on the work required. You will be responsible for this fee. If you are purchasing another property and are involved in a chain please make sure A2Dominion and your purchaser are aware of the deadlines you are working to and please contact your solicitor on a regular basis for a progress report on the sale. Once your buyer s mortgage offer is issued both you and the buyer would need to arrange to sign the legal documents required to complete the transaction. Once this is done exchange of contracts can take place and a completion date is set. seven - Completion of sale Once a completion date is set, a completion statement consisting of sale price, rent/ service charge and nomination fee will be prepared by our solicitors. This is the time to make sure you have made arrangements with your purchaser regarding when and where they will be able to collect keys. A2Dominion would not be able to hold keys for collection by your buyer. Under no circumstances should you hand over keys prior to your solicitor s confirmation that completion has taken place. Administration Fee An administration fee of 500 is payable on all properties that A2Dominion secures a buyer for and progresses the sale through to completion. The 500 will be payable on completion of the sale. The 500 will be included in your nomination fee*, it would not be an additional payment. *Nomination Fee Your nomination fee can be found in your lease and is payable if A2Dominion find a buyer for your property.
