Sell Your Property

Selling a property is a major financial and personal decision. Our role is to guide you through the process with clarity, professionalism, and a strategy designed to achieve the strongest possible result. Whether you are selling a home, commercial premises, or land, we provide a complete, end‑to‑end service.

We combine market expertise, strong negotiation skills, and high‑quality marketing to ensure your property reaches the right buyers and achieves its full potential. Below is a clear breakdown of the core services we provide and why each one is important.

1. What We Do for You

Accurate Market Appraisal

We assess your property using recent sales, market trends, and its key features to provide a realistic, evidence‑based value. Benefit: Correct pricing attracts more buyers and leads to stronger offers.

Professional Photography & Marketing

Your property is presented using high‑quality photography, floorplans, brochures, and targeted online advertising across our websites, social media, Daft.ie, PropertyPal.com, and MyHome.ie. Benefit: Professional presentation increases enquiries, viewings, and offer levels.

Extensive Buyer Database

We maintain a large database of active, qualified buyers who are notified as soon as your property goes live. Benefit: Many sales occur quickly through motivated buyers already registered with us.

Expert Negotiation

We manage all offers, verify proof of funds, ensure AML compliance, and negotiate firmly on your behalf. Benefit: Skilled negotiation can significantly increase your final sale price.

Full Legal & Compliance Guidance

We guide you through BER, AML, planning, title, mapping, and solicitor requirements to help you become contract‑ready early. Benefit: Being legally prepared avoids delays and speeds up the sale process.

2. Our Selling Process

Initial Consultation & Appraisal

We inspect your property, review comparable sales, and provide clear advice on value and presentation.

Preparing for Market

We advise on simple improvements that enhance appeal, including decluttering, minor repairs, and ensuring documentation is ready.

3. What We Need to Begin Marketing

To launch your property without delay, we require:

Signed Property Services Agreement
BER Certificate & Advisory Report
MPRN (from your ESB bill)
Photographic ID and proof of address for all vendors (AML requirement)

Once received, your property is advertised in our office window, on donegalproperty.com, brendanmcglynn.com, Daft.ie, PropertyPal.com, and MyHome.ie.

4. Becoming Contract‑Ready

We strongly recommend instructing your solicitor before or as soon as the property goes on the market. This allows them to prepare the legal documents required for the Contract for Sale.

Being contract‑ready avoids delays once a buyer is secured.

5. Documents Your Solicitor Will Need

To prepare the Contract for Sale, your solicitor will require:

Title Deeds (may take 4–6 weeks from bank)
Title Map (Land Registry or Registry of Deeds mapping)
Declaration of Identity (for rural one‑off houses)
Planning permissions and certificates of compliance/exemption
Valid BER Certificate
PPS Numbers for all vendors
Property tax receipts:
- Local Property Tax (LPT)
Septic Tank Registration (if applicable)
Fixtures & Fittings list
Local Authority “Taken in Charge” letter (for estates)
Management Company receipts (if applicable)

Early preparation of these items is the key to a smooth sale.

Your property is promoted using:

Professional photography
Floorplans and brochures
Major property portals (Daft.ie, PropertyPal.com, MyHome.ie)
Social media campaigns
Email alerts to registered buyers
Local signage and office display

Our aim is to maximise visibility and attract qualified buyers quickly.

7. Viewings & Enquiries

Tip: Buyers view more comfortably when the property is vacant during appointments.

8. Offers & Negotiation

We handle all offers, verify funds, ensure AML compliance, and negotiate to secure the best price and most reliable buyer.
