Selling your home
How to sell your home
When you’re ready to move on, you can sell your Shared Ownership home at any time. Just contact our Sales Progression team at sales.progression@poplarharca.
What you need to do
- Let us know – the first step is simply telling us you’re ready to sell.
- Get a valuation – you’ll need a written valuation report form an independent RICS-registered surveyor (that’s the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors). This costs around £250, which you’ll pay directly to the surveyor.
- Prepare your documents – you’ll need to provide:
- a completed copy of your Poplar HARCA Resale Instruction Order Form
- a copy of your Shared Ownership Lease
- a copy of your current EPC
What Keaze will do
Once Keaze takes over your resale, they will:
- Contact you to discuss the resale of your home
- Ask you to sign their Terms and Conditions
- Confirm the nomination period, as outlined in your Shared Ownership lease
- Arrange professional photography of your home (at no additional cost)
- Instruct a full market valuation (approx. £250)
- Start marketing your home on various property portals
- Arrange viewings and open days
- Financially assess potential buyers
- Progress the sale to the solicitors’ stage
What we will do
Once a buyer has been found, our Sales Progression team will:
- Liaise with Keaze weekly to monitor progress
- Help make sure the sale keeps moving forward
- Provide a Leasehold Information Pack
- Obtain completion figures once contracts have been exchanged
- Ensure rent and service charge accounts transfer smoothly to the new owner
