FAQs for sellers
When selling your property, you will be required to have possession of or pay for the following:
Any marketing costs should be included in the estate agent’s commission, although extra advertising might be chargeable but your agent should agree this with you first.
You don’t always have to do a complete redecoration when you put your property up for sale. However, anything that impresses potential buyers without breaking the bank should be considered. Go to our refurbishment page for presentation tips.
Our sales staff can be on hand for scheduled viewings and if we have access to your property, you won’t have to be at every one unless you choose to be.
Stamp Duty is payable by the buyer at prevailing rates set by the UK Government’s HMRC.
The Land Registry and Action Fraud provide valuable advice about steps you can take to protect yourself.
You will not be taxed on a property that is your main residence, providing you fulfil certain criteria. You will have to pay CGT if the property is not your main home. If you are an overseas investor looking for more information, our comprehensive Tax Guide is a good resource.
We will provide an up to date, realistic assessment of what we think we can achieve for your property. You can also get a free, no obligation appraisal by using our online valuation service which should give you an idea of what you property might be worth.

High professionalism throughout the process
Our experience with Benham & Reeves Hampstead was very pleasant. High professionalism throughout the process, a great valuation and viewing organisation, not to mention that it only took a couple of weeks to get an offer. Jeremy was extremely professional and helpful, so much so that we immediately recommended him to our neighbours.

Experienced and excellent to deal with
I felt it important to express my gratitude to Tom for all his hard work, assistance and understanding in achieving the completion of my property today. Tom is experienced in sales and an excellent person to deal with. He knows how to handle a situation. He is patient and understanding. Due to his coordination with solicitors and myself we were able to push a time limited conveyance through which had a deadline for tomorrow. A genuine asset to Benham & Reeves, Tom is a sheer pleasure to work with, thoroughly reliable and honest. I wish Tom all the success going forward and I hope to deal with him in the future, again.

Sale of my apartment in W1
Throughout the selling process of my apartment which through no fault of B & R was a quite complicated sale, I found the staff of B & R to be efficient, professional and attentive. I have no hesitation in recommending them both as letting agents and selling agents.

Outstanding service by Philip
Philip has been wonderful in our house hunting in London. He listened to our needs and had been so patient in finding that right one. The whole process took a year and he was never discouraged. Instead, he was always very accommodating and positive. Now, we have finally moved into our new place. We highly recommend Philip to anyone who is looking for their dream home. In fact, we have already referred some friends to him. Thank you Philip and we appreciate all your help!

Excellent Service
I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for providing me with an excellent service. You proactively sought out properties that met my investment criteria which led me to purchasing an ideal property. I appreciated your friendly and professional manner and felt I could really trust your judgement, which is something I did not feel with other estate agents. I would highly recommend using your company and will hopefully be purchasing another property through you soon.

A Satisfied Buyer!
I was happy with your service particularly in keeping the sale alive when the vendor was losing faith. My agent (Sofia) was invaluable in overcoming the various hurdles and concluding the sale successfully. Thank you from a satisfied buyer!
