For Sellers

Promoting and Advertising Your Property

Spencer Auctioneers advertise on all the leading websites here in Ireland and also abroad and your property will be advertised on Daft.ie, MyHome.ie and Rightmove.co.uk, along with our own website spencerauctioneers.com.  We include 3D virtual tours, all signage and digital advertising in our fee. 

Property Valuation

The first step when you are considering selling your house or property is to have the property valued.  This is an easy and informal process that will provide you with information if work needs to be carried out and also a property valuation.  Whilst carrying out a valuation we are more than happy to discuss our ideas on improvements or things that will achieve a faster sale. 

Choosing the Best Way to Sell Your Property

Traditionally there are two methods of sale and these are private treaty or auction. 

Private Treaty

This is where your property is placed on the market with a guide price, which is agreed by us and you the client. Only when you are satisfied with all the details and information, will the property be brought to the market.  We recommend that signage is erected and we will arrange with you times and dates of viewings and provide you with feedback after these viewings are carried out. 

Once an offer is received from an interested party we will pass this offer on to you and discuss each offer with its own merits. 

When the offer has been accepted by the seller, we will request a booking deposit from the purchaser and we will require both parties solicitor’s details, so that we can send out documentation to them.

We strongly recommend that you discuss the sale with your solicitor prior to bringing the property to the market so that they can ensure they have all the documentation required to enable them to issue a contract swiftly and without delay, once a buyer is found.

It’s been such a great experience dealing with Spencer Auctioneers for the last twenty years.  Can’t recommend Luke and Sheila highly enough. There is nothing that Luke doesn’t know about selling a house in Connemara and Sheila handles every aspect of renting property with such ease and efficiency . Thank you both for such a positive and professional experience.

Luke was recommended to me by a mutual acquaintance and even if the sale of my house took a long time (I change my mind many times) Luke was always patient and available and always willing to go the extra mile to help.  I will say that selling a property in Ireland was the most challengeable thing I have ever done and without Luke I would have not known where to start. Thank you

We engaged Spencer Auctioneers for a number of years to oversee our property for long term rent in Clifden, County Galway. We found Sheila to be very professional and easy to communicate with allowing us the security of not worrying about property as we lived overseas. Luke always made himself available and when we were ready to sell ensured everything was sorted and dealt with smoothly. Nothing was a problem and went above and beyond to ensure sale progressed well. Highly recommend as agents for renting and for sales. Thank you for all your hard work over the years. Regards Tracey and Colm O'Callaghan

We bought a house in Connemara, and Luke guided us and kept us well informed about all the steps involved in the purchase. Everything went smoothly; he was efficient, professional, available, and very friendly. We wouldn't hesitate to use him again. Thank you, Luke!

On having to sell my home I did an incredible amount of research in which to find a genuinely professional estate agent. I can say, in absolute honesty, that I was truly blessed to have chosen Spencers Auctioneers and Luke. The professionalism, courtesy, respect and honesty that Luke provided, to eventually sell my home, was and is, a shining example to all the other 'services'...... whom, in my opinion, made the sale more difficult than perhaps necessary. Lukes knowledge, contacts and ability to sort out so many obstacles and barriers was a key factor in the eventual sale of my home. Luke, unlike, i'd say, 100 percent of other 'over paid actors' involved in the sale, always returned phone calls, e-mail enquiries, promptly......and never treated me other than a highly valued client at all stage of the sale. I can highly recommend Spencer Auctioneers and Luke to any potential property seller and do so in the confidence that they will receive the same professional service as I received.

Luke was able to guide us through any issues that came up. He had considered every detail, and with his local knowledge and experience, offered up solutions to help the process go smoothly.  Received regular friendly updates and kept well informed through the process.  Highly recommend!!

Building Energy Rating (BER)

You will require a Building Energy Rating (BER) or Non-Domestic Building Energy Rating (NDBER) for the sale and lease of all residential and commercial buildings prior to the active marketing of a property. This needs to be carried out by a registered assessor and if you require a recommendation of an assessor please contact us at the office.

Most purchasers will require an engineer’s report, which will include a Certificate of Compliance and a Declaration of Identity. These documents confirm that the boundaries are correct and the property is planning compliant.  Please ensure that you discuss this with your engineer or if you need an engineer recommended please contact us at the office.
