In which areas do you have homes for sale?

We have offices in Chelmsford, Witham, Stanway, Colchester, Manningtree, Sudbury, Ipswich, Kesgrave and Woodbridge and we have homes available throughout Essex and Suffolk.  We also offer a Signature service selling the most desirable town houses, country homes and properties with character - as well as properties with equestrian facilities.

What costs might I incur when I sell my home?

Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

It is a legal requirement to have an EPC before you market your residential property. Fenn Wright can organise this document on your behalf. This typically costs between £85 and £120, dependent on property size.

Estate agent commission

Commission fees are due once your estate agent sells your property and contracts are signed. This is usually charged as a percentage of the sale price plus VAT.

Legal fees for the conveying process?

These can vary depending on the solicitor you choose. We recommend you obtain an estimate with a breakdown when making your selection.

Do I need to redecorate before I put my property on the market?

It is not essential to redecorate your property before placing it on the market, however, it is a fact that clean and well maintained properties are more appealing to buyers.

Fenn Wright are selling my house, can you carry out the Survey on the one I am buying?

Yes. We can carry out a survey or valuation on any property that is NOT being sold by us.

I am having a mortgage valuation, do I need a survey?

A mortgage valuation report is a basic inspection undertaken on behalf of your lender only, a HomeBuyers report or building survey is a far more detailed report for you to rely upon. Often defects are found that lead to a reduction in purchase price that more than pays for the cost of the survey!

What are the Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) rates and who has to pay them?

A3 The buyer is responsible for paying Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) on house purchases. The current rates for England at the time of publishing (October 2015) are:

Purchase price of property Rate of SDLT (percentage of the total purchase price)
£0 - £125,000 0%
£125,001 - £250,000 2%
£250,001 - £925,000 5%
£925,001 - £1.5 million 10%
Over £1.5 million 12%
