Guidance for your next move

See the team and the evidence

Explore recent sales, meet our salespeople and read how we work with sellers, including NurtureCloud buyer matching, follow-up and reporting.

The appraisal form below goes to our Warkworth office. Tell us the address, timeframe and whether you are buying as well as selling. Call 09 425 7959 if you would prefer to talk first.

Start with your next move as well as this sale

Tell your salesperson what the move needs to achieve: a different location, less maintenance, more space or a change in household circumstances. Discuss whether another purchase depends on the proceeds, and involve your lawyer and lender in the sequence. A campaign timetable and a moving timetable need to work together.

For a smaller next home or village arrangement, our downsizing guide helps compare practical access, ownership arrangements and the wider budget. If your plans involve a rural move, consider the water, wastewater, fencing and equipment you will leave behind or take on.

Put the appraisal and costs on one page

Ask for the completed sales behind the proposed range and the reasons for the differences. Record the proposed commission, marketing, photography or presentation costs and other charges, including GST where applicable. Ask which costs would still apply if the property did not sell, and when each payment would be due. A council rating value, an asking price and an agent’s appraisal serve different purposes.

Compare what is included in competing proposals rather than only a headline fee. If you qualify for our SuperGold offer, have the applicable terms and discount explained in writing before agreeing the campaign.

Make a useful property-information pack

Work with your salesperson and lawyer to identify the records buyers will need. Include plans and consent information you hold, relevant warranties and service records, chattels and known issues. Ask what additional council or specialist information should be obtained.

Town homes: explain alterations, layout, parking, access and shared areas accurately.
Coastal homes: prepare maintenance information, insurance questions and the legal position for access or coastal structures.
Lifestyle properties: organise water and wastewater records, access arrangements, fences, buildings and included equipment.
New homes and sections: make title, completion, inclusions and any remaining obligations clear.

Choose the preparation work after discussing priorities and costs. Our presentation checklist separates essential repairs from optional improvements; our rural-selling guide goes further into land and system records.

Agree how campaign decisions will be made

Before launch, confirm the method, dates, viewing arrangements, marketing approvals and who will report back to you. Ask how enquiry, viewings and buyer feedback will be distinguished from offers. NurtureCloud supports the team’s matching, follow-up and reporting, while the salesperson explains what the activity means for your particular property.

At each review, compare the feedback with competing listings and relevant completed sales. Agree the next action and when to reassess it. A change in advertising or price should have a reason you understand; activity alone does not guarantee a sale.

Compare the whole offer before signing

Consider the price, conditions, deadlines, deposit, settlement and possession together. Ask your lawyer to explain your obligations and any changes before signing. If an offer depends on finance, inspections or another sale, understand what must happen and by when. Keep the agreed deadlines and your own obligations visible, and raise any problem promptly through your advisers.

Read Settled’s completing-the-sale guidance for independent information. A signed agreement can be binding while conditions are being worked through; it should not be treated as a tentative reservation.

Plan the handover before settlement day

Arrange the pre-settlement inspection and any agreed work with your salesperson and lawyer. Keep receipts and a clear record of completed tasks. Confirm removal arrangements, the chattels staying with the property, keys and remotes, manuals and operating instructions for systems such as water pumps or wastewater equipment.

Your lawyer or conveyancer manages the settlement process. Coordinate key release through the agreed process once settlement is confirmed; avoid promising an exact collection time before the legal work is complete. If you are buying and selling on the same day, discuss a plan for delays. Settled’s settlement-day guide includes a checklist.

Start with your address and timing

The appraisal form below goes to our Warkworth office. Tell us your address, likely timing and whether there is another move to coordinate. We can discuss the evidence, preparation and proposed campaign for your property. For a rental-income assessment, use the rental appraisal instead.
