Offers

Any offers we receive are promptly verbally notified and then followed up in writing. Our competent sales team will negotiate between you and your prospective applicant in order to achieve the strongest buyer.

We will inform you of the position of the buyers and liaise with you until an accepted offer has been agreed.

Should you require your sale to be completed by a certain date, this is when you should notify us and we will endeavour to satisfy your request wherever possible.

At this stage, you should also provide your list of Fixture and Fittings which will be negotiated separately between the solicitors and forms part of the final contract.

At this point (if you have not already done so), you will need to instruct a solicitor and, should you require assistance, David Harris & Co will only be too pleased to recommend local firms.

The solicitors will then write to all parties and the buyers will instruct a surveyor to conduct a survey of your property (the “agreed sale” is subject to the contract and any survey) and the buyers’ mortgage offer (if required) will also be subject to the results of the survey.

The sellers’ solicitors will request the TITLE DEEDS from the lender (if appropriate) or yourselves as the seller and the FIXTURES AND FITTINGS form must be completed at this stage.

The solicitors draw up the DRAFT CONTRACT which sets of the Terms of the Sale and sends it to the buyers’ solicitor together with all relevant documents. Any enquiries will then be raised, the Title Deeds and Lease (if applicable) will be checked and LOCAL SEARCHES carried out.

Once the draft contracts have been approved, it can be signed by both parties.

Exchange Of Contracts

As long as the mortgage offer has been received and cleared funds placed with your buyer’s solicitor, a mutually convenient date can be agreed upon for the exchange of contracts.

Completion

The completion and your actual house move and take between 7 to 28 days depending on the buyers, sellers and their respective solicitors.

Customer Testimonials

  • Wonderful Review!
    I’ve been renting through David Harris for around five years now and have dealt with a few different agents over the years. Lee is a relatively new addition to the team, and he has been a fantastic one. He has taken care of issues for me in a way I haven’t experienced in the past. He’s extremely responsive, proactive, and has a real “get things done” mentality. Rather than just acknowledging a problem, he follows it through and makes sure it actually gets resolved, usually very quickly. Lee has genuinely been one of the best agents I’ve dealt with. Thank you for your continuous support and for making such a difference.

  • 5 Stars!
    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lee from David Harris and Co. has been absolutely superb throughout the whole process. He’s been incredibly helpful, professional and, most importantly, genuinely lovely to deal with. He’s gone above and beyond to make everything as smooth and stress free as possible, and we really couldn’t have asked for a better estate agent. It’s rare to come across someone who is so attentive, patient and genuinely cares about their clients. We’re so grateful for all of Lee’s help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an estate agent. Thank you so much, Lee! 🙏🏼

    My partner and I had a great experience securing our ideal rental in the heart of Queen's Park through David Harris. From the first step, Seher was professional and helpful, and she also made sure we were kept up to date during the process.

  • Getting it done!
    Ali at David Harris & Co was incredibly helpful throughout our search. We initially spoke with several agencies and spent around six months looking before making a decision. Ali was the only one who never gave up. He consistently arranged viewings, kept us fully updated on new properties coming to market, and stayed patient despite all our changing requirements. In the end, he found exactly what we were looking for. His experience really shows, and we felt completely confident that we would secure the right property through him. If you’re looking in Finchley Central, he’s definitely the agent to go to.
    Ali Maarefi 19/03/2026
  • Supportive Service Throughout
    I have rented through David Harris for 2 years and found him to be supportive, fair and addressed any issues in a timely manner. I would consider seeking another property to let through him with no hesitation.

  • A Fantastic Experience!
    I had a fantastic experience securing my new rental residence through this agency. From start to finish, the company facilitated an incredibly smooth and hassle-free process, which made the transition into my new home seamless. The highlight of the experience was the professionalism of Ali, the Head of Sales and Lettings, in coordinating offers. He was exceptionally efficient and always provided a quick response to queries, offering great general support whenever it was needed. If you are looking for a stress-free rental process with a highly responsive team, I cannot recommend their services enough.

  • A wonderful experience with David and Ali.
    I met David on Friday 30th January to discuss the letting, and at the time I thought he was being optimistic when he said, “We would hope to find you suitable tenants within two weeks.” I wasn’t sure, but David was confident — and he delivered. He not only found a tenant within a week, but also managed to move them in within that same week. Ali took care of all the legal and procedural side of things and was incredibly proactive throughout, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. I would definitely recommend David Harris & Co.
