Sell your home in Brighton & Hove with our step by step guidance… Callaways ensure your sale progresses from Offer to Completion with our successful Sales Progression Management Viewings at your home Showing your home to its best potential is vital when it comes to achieving a timely and profitable sale. We will get to know your property so that when we accompany potential buyers on a viewing we can highlight the key benefits your home offers. We will advise you when appointments are made and make available the option to hold open days for specific properties. Negotiating your property sale We liaise with both parties until a successful outcome is reached and do our best to achieve the best price possible for you. We will be there to answer any questions, and advise on how things are progressing. However, we would never tell you whether to accept an offer or not, but will be there to support and inform you to make the best choice. Progressing your Sale Once you have sold your property ‘Subject to Contract’ we will handle the liaison between buyer, seller, solicitors, lenders and any other parties involved. This is generally termed’sales progression management’ and is a very important part of the transaction and where many sales fall down. We will give you regular updates and are always at the end of the phone, willing a successful end to your property deal. Exchange of Contracts on your Property Sale This is always an exciting (and often stressful) time during the sale of your home particularly trying to get all parties in a chain to agree on an Exchange and Completion date. The contract your exchange will stipulate an agreed completion date. Our Sales team is on hand to remind you of all the tasks you need to do as the time between Exchange and Completion can be very short, sometimes less than a week! Sometimes Exchange and Completion take place simultaneously especially in cases where a chain misses its proposed exchange date and attempts are made to stick to the original Completion date. A completion usually happens within two weeks of exchange. There are so many aspects to take care of so plan ahead to book removal companies, prepare ‘Change of Address’ notices and make arrangements for any pets whilst you move. Legal Completion Completion takes place on ‘Completion Day’, a normal weekday, when monies are transferred from your purchaser and likewise through the chain if there is one – until then, the keys will not be released. Standard practice for Completion to happen is 7 to 28 days after exchanging contracts. Callaways Estate Agents love seeing new owners call into our branch office to collect their keys, or you can arrange to pick them up from the vendors. In the euphoria of Completion, you should be aware that occasionally things can go wrong: a) such as when the money being passed from your mortgage provider (if you’re using one) to your solicitors, then to the buyer’s solicitors, hasn’t gone through by 3pm, you’ll have to wait until the next working day b) if you are involved in a chain of buyers and sellers, and any of these falls through, the whole process can come grinding to an almighty halt. c) Remember to take all of the buying costs into account eg stamp duty and VAT on agents’ fees to your solicitor, otherwise you won’t be able to complete. d) Check your Solicitors or your conveyancers are fully prepared and a phone call to them so you understand when the transfer is taking place followed by another call mid-morning would be wise so you know exactly where things stand. e) Recent scams have transferred funds to fraudulent accounts – remember your Solicitor will not change their Client Account on Completion day. f) If you fail to come up with the money for completion, you face a penalty. If you have failed to pay because your buyers also failed to come up with the money, they will pay a penalty to you.

It was my first experience of renting and have found that Callaway are amazing Landlords I would highly recommend them to anyone considering renting or buying. Steve Wiltshire 28/03/2025 We have been with Callaways for over 7 years and can’t praise them highly enough. Nothing is too much trouble for them, they are quick and efficient at any problem you have. All the staff are on a first name basis which makes it more personal and always there to help or advise. Every aspect of Callaways is carried out to the highest of standards and with respect. Ceri Roberts 28/03/2025 I’ve rented through Callaways for several years and have always found the team to be helpful and responsive. They’re quick to respond to any issues, and always consider the tenant’s experience and point of view, so I always feel that I’m treated fairly. Tim W 26/03/2025 We have been using Callaways Lettings Service for many years and have received a consistantly good service from their dedicated staff. We have been particularly impressed with their knowledge and expertise of the lettings business and their ability to work closely with the Building Management Teams. This has resulted in good relations with Landlords and the speedy resolution of maintenance and tenant issues. Callaways are equally professional in their management of home sales, something we are currently experiencing with them. Mark Simpson 26/03/2025 As a contractor specialising in Gardening, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Callaways over the past year. Tenants are always informed of my arrival and I am given detailed work’s orders to complete the jobs I am asked to do. I highly recommend Callaways! joe gray 18/09/2024 Thank you to Laura at Callaways for making the process of purchasing our new beach hut such a seamless experience! From our first viewing, to finalising our offer, providing all the necessary information and documentation, and helping with the paperwork, we couldn’t have asked for more. We are over the moon with our new hut and looking forward to making memories ❤️ Ananya Shrivastava 10/06/2024 I came in touch with Callaways, via Rightmove. I was aware that finding a rental in Brighton is a tenuous process, but, Callaways was a gush of fresh air, as opposed to what I heard. I had interacted with James Duffy, who’s a Branch Manager at Callaways, and was delighted to observe how smooth my transition with them was! Professional, diligent, transparent, always on-time, and quick to understand and process the requests! For someone who recently moved, it was a great help. From the administrative side, Laura Simpson was friendly, welcoming, responsive, and understanding. Interacting with these two made the transition a whole lot easier. I’d recommend them to anyone without a doubt. Justin 15/10/2023 Callaways have served us for nearly 10 years. They helped us prepare a property for rent, fully managed the rental property and have just sold the property for us. Throughout that time we have found them to be professional, courteous and proactive. They provided advice when required and arranged everything that needed to be done. Our experience with all Callaways staff has been positive but for many years now most of our interactions have been with Jacqui on the lettings side and James on the sales. Both seem so suited to their roles and are just the sort of people you want to look after or sell your property. We had no previous experience of letting agents but we know in Jacqui and Callaways, very good ones do exist. For the sale, James showed excellent communications. He was instrumental in keeping everyone talking, chasing progress and getting it done. Thank you all.
