Residential and Commercial Sales

Residential and Commercial Sales Services in Roscommon

Thinking of selling your property?

Methods of sale:

Private Treaty
the private treaty method involves marketing and promoting the property in a pre-defined manner with an asking price or guiding price disclosed to prospective purchasers. Private Treaty is by far the most common method of sale because it is relatively inexpensive, negotiations can be thorough and various bidders can be pitched against each other with anonymity.

Public Auction
Public auction is that potential purchasers are invited to bid publicly for the property at specific time and place. This is the most transparent method of sale, and the purchaser is required to sign a contract and pay a deposit immediately at the conclusion of the auction. This method can result in a more expensive marketing campaign when compared to private treaty, especially if the main reason for the auction is transparency.

Tender
Sale by tender is usually appropriate where the vendor requires a structured sale process to take place within a specific time frame and where the value may be difficult to determine. The vendor may publicise the tender or may decide to tender the property to specific parties. Tenders are invited in a prescribed format with prescribed terms and conditions.

Efficient sales process

    Method of sale. REA Seamus Carthy will advise you on the best method of sale to suit your property.
  • Step 2:
    An informed and prepared client plays a big part in ensuring that the sales process is as efficient and seamless as possible. REA Seamus Carthy will advise clients to have contracts prepared and in place ahead of a property going to the market as most if not all issues or concerns can be raised ahead of the negotiation on the price to ensure a smooth sales process and avoid renegotiations.
  • Step 3:
    Building Energy Rating (BER) surveys: All new and second-hand properties for sale or letting now require a building energy rating certificate (BER Cert) to allow the property to be presented to the market. This rating indicates a buildings energy performance on a grading system from A to G.
  • Step 4:
    REA Seamus Carthy Terms of Engagement: Prior to going to the market REA Seamus Carthy will exercise the appropriate prescribed Letters of Engagement produced by the Statutory Regulator.

    The Letter of Engagement is an opportunity to make clear the contractual arrangement between REA Seamus Carthy and the client.

  • Step 7:
    We will inform the vendor of any offer received from prospective purchasers. All offers are logged on our database.
  • Step 8:
    One of the most important factors when deciding which Estate Agency will be favoured with the sale of your property should be the quality and professionalism of the negotiators who will be dealing with the day-to-day viewing and negotiations. Seamus Carthy prides himself in achieving the highest price for your property and the client will be fully involved and advised in the negotiation process.
  • Step 9:
    Once the property is "sale agreed" we will forward sale advice notes to both the client and purchaser solicitors with the details of the sale. It is our aim as the agent to make sure that the sale proceeds as efficiently and effectively as possible by liaising with solicitors throughout the sale process.
