The Real Cost of Selling — How GLP Helps Every Step of the Way
If you’re considering selling your home, understanding the costs involved is an important part of planning your next step. At Greater London Properties (GLP), we believe in clear, honest advice — from your first valuation to the day you hand over the keys.
At Greater London Properties (GLP), our approach is transparent, thoughtful, and built around helping you move confidently. Our sales fee includes everything you need to present your home at its best — with no hidden extras:
- EPC (Energy Performance Certificate): Required to sell; we’ll arrange this quickly
- Presenter-led videography
- Interior design-led photographer
- Matterport 3D tours (interactive walk-throughs, ideal for overseas and busy buyers)
- Professional floorplans
- All viewings handled by our experienced team
- A professional clean at the start of marketing or before completion — whichever suits you best
We also donate 10% of our sales fee to a local school of your choice through our Support Our School initiative — giving back with every sale.
The GLP Difference
At the Property Valuation stage, we bring in our local interior designer—or “house doctor”—to help unlock every property’s full potential. This step is essential because we invest heavily in showcasing your home to its absolute best. Our fashion magazine-quality photographers can spend up to a full day capturing the perfect shots, and our expert videographers ensure every angle is covered with cinematic detail.
To make the most of this, your home needs to be shoot-ready. That’s why, well before the camera arrives, we work with our designer to plan staging, styling, smart storage solutions, and even minor decorative tweaks—everything needed to elevate the presentation and maximise your home’s value. We can take you through this on Valuation Day.
We handle all of this for you—so you don’t have to. That’s the GLP difference!
🧾 Key Costs to Budget For
1. Legal Fees (Conveyancing)
You’ll need a solicitor to handle the legal side of your sale (and purchase, if applicable).
We work closely with trusted local firms known for clear, efficient service—happy to recommend if needed.
2. Mortgage Costs
If you’re taking out a new mortgage or repaying your current one, you might face:
- Arrangement or broker fees
- Valuation/survey fees
- Early repayment charges
We can introduce you to reliable, independent mortgage advisers—no pressure, just honest advice.
3. Removal Costs
Costs vary depending on the size of your move and services needed.
We have great contacts with trusted, well-priced removal companies—from full packing to simple transport—and can help organise it all.
4. Stamp Duty
If you’re buying a new home, don’t forget to include Stamp Duty in your budget.
Whether you're preparing to sell or just want to understand your options, we're here to help. You’ll receive clear, honest advice, and a team that genuinely listens.
