An Exciting New Way To Sell Your Home in Scotland

-

 Unlock!

Unlock is a new way to sell your home in Scotland. It has been introduced by the ESPC and a group of solicitor estate agents in Edinburgh.




Edinburgh's property market is competitive and good homes will sell quickly and often for large amounts over the asking price. This means that if you aren't leaving the city and need to sell your home, people are often hesitant about moving to a new home because they are worried they will sell their current home before finding a new perfect home. 

Even when you do find the perfect home for you and your family, you can be outbid. 

Unlock is a way to sell your property but gain time to find your next home.

How Does Unlock Work?

‘Unlock’ allows your solicitor estate agent to market your property for sale but with the added assurance that you will have time to find your next home. This is done by adding a clause to the missives that gives you the option to withdraw from the sale if you can’t find a new home you love and that meets your needs and requirements. The home buyer will be given a long date of entry, typically 6 months, which should give you time to find the right home.

Why Would A Buyer Be Happy With Unlock?

Hopefully, it will mean more new and exciting properties will become available to purchase. The buyer will then get time to save further for decorating and upgrading their new home. If they have a property to sell, it will also give them more time.

ELP Arbuthnott McClanachan is one of the solicitor estate agents that have signed up to Unlock.  If you would like more information on Unlock, please do get in touch.

What is a Power of Attorney ? A Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows a nominated person to act on your behalf when you are unable to do so.  A Power of Attorney can cover financial matters, well-being matters or it can be a joint Power of Attorney to cover both. Most people think of a power of attorney as something elderly people have, however, we believe every adult should have a Power of Attorney in place.  It may be the case that more elderly people make use of their Power of Attorney but the truth is that we never know when we are going to need that person. Ideally, you want to choose a person that you trust when you are fit and healthy, in sound mind, and know you have made a good decision.  When might you use your Power of Attorney? Elderly people will use their Power of Attorney, for example, if they become housebound and want someone else to attend to their bills or banking.   Younger fit and healthy people, may find they need their Power of...

6 Things You Need To Know About Buying A Property in Scotland

Bob Arbuthnott and Lisbeth-Ann Pay, two of our very experienced  conveyancing solicitors , offer some advice which will be helpful for anyone looking to buy a property. 1. Don’t be fooled by the asking price Many purchasers are confused by the terms “Offers Over”, “Offers Around” or “Offers in the Region Of” and are left wondering what they should be offering. Generally, these terms can be ignored if the property has come onto the market recently and has a Home Report with a valuation. The terms are used as marketing ploys to generate interest in a property and the more relevant figure for a purchaser is the Home Report valuation. This is usually a better indication of what the seller is hoping to achieve. Depending on the level of interest in a property a lucky purchaser may be able to negotiate a price below this but if the property is new to the market and/or if the market is buoyant then often purchasers are pushed to offer over the valuation. 2. Don’t be afraid to as...
