When buying and selling a home, it can be hard to know where to start. Whether you are releasing cash for your next home or getting a mortgage, we’d recommend starting both with a valuation.

Buying with a mortgage

Once you’ve obtained a valuation of your property, your mortgage advisor can better assess the situation. They will review the valuation to see what your property is worth and the details of your current mortgage, along with any savings you will be putting towards it. Your mortgage advisor can then work out how much you can afford and the deals available to you.

Releasing cash from your current property

If you are selling to release cash for your next purchase, knowing your current property’s value will give you a clearer view of the budget for your next move. You may want to speak with an independent financial advisor to check for any additional costs, such as taxes and stamp duty.

What next?

With a greater understanding of your finances, we recommend that you choose your estate agent and get the ball rolling by putting your property up for sale. This will place you in a stronger position when putting in an offer on a property.

Remember, you are never alone in this process. Our friendly team are just a phone call away!

The whole team at Bill McCann Estate Agency were perfect. We had a very difficult house to sell and through all the ups and downs they never stopped trying. We owe a lot to them with all the extra work they put in to help us get over the line. No complaints from the team when I badgered them with calls/emails about our sale. We were delighted we picked them and if we were buying/selling in the area again we would 100% be picking up the phone to Simon, Pauline & Ross <3
Thanks guys!

We recently sold our house with Bill McCann Estate Agents and couldn’t recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, the team were professional, friendly, and attentive. Ross valued our house and handled the viewings with great care and expertise, making us feel confident throughout.

A massive thank you to Pauline, who was simply amazing. She kept us updated at every stage, answered every question, and made the whole process feel smooth and manageable. The team’s communication and support really made a difference, and it felt like they genuinely cared about our experience. 100% recommend- thank you so much for everything!!

We always use McCann's and highly recommend this very friendly, caring, family business. They made our house sale stress free and simple which made such a difference to keep us worry free. They also understood entirely our emotional ties to the property we were selling and for that we are very grateful.

We would not hesitate in recommending Bill McCann estate agency to anyone buying or selling a property, we found Simon (the agent we dealt with) to be excellent in keeping us up to date with the progress of our sale and went above and beyond in contacting solicitors and the purchaser in order to keep everything on track. We would definitely use this business again.

This estate agent was my first choice when I decided to sell. I approached them almost one year before my home went onto the market as I was waiting for the right home to move to. The highly professional and friendly team understood my needs and worked with me at a pace that suited my needs/circumstances. They were responsive, supportive and I felt that they had my best interests in mind. It ended up that they were managing my sale and by coincidence they were also managing the sale of the home that I was purchasing. They handled this scenario exceptionally well and helped create a great working relationship between all parties. My sale and purchase went smoothly. The team were also exceptional when it came to managing all viewings of the home I was selling and they put in the extra hours and patience when it came to me viewing the home for sale. Thanks to the team. I highly recommend this company.

Me and my husband had the pleasure of dealing with Simon from Bill McGann Estate Agency and I can’t recommend them enough. They were all so helpful and Simon went above and beyond to make a whole move from Birmingham to Northern Ireland as smooth as possible. Highly recommended and thank you again. Karyn and Mark
