Frequently Asked Questions About Selling Property in Norwich
How much is my house worth?
The value depends on your property’s condition, location, and recent market trends. We offer free, expert valuations based on real-time local data — not just online estimates.
Do I need to pay upfront to list my home?
No. At The Good Estate Agent Norwich, we don’t charge anything until your property is sold.
How long does it take to sell a home in Norwich?
On average, properties in NR3 and NR7 can sell within 4–8 weeks. That said, timing depends on price, presentation, and demand. We’ll guide you every step of the way.
Will you conduct the viewings?
Yes. Sean handles all viewings personally, offering flexible times including evenings and weekends.
Where will my property be listed?
All sales properties appear on Rightmove, Zoopla, and across our social channels to reach serious local buyers.
Do I need to get an EPC before selling?
Yes. It’s a legal requirement. If you don’t have one, we can help arrange it quickly.

Landlord FAQs – Lettings & Property Management in Norwich
Do you offer fully managed lettings?
Yes, we provide full management including rent collection, maintenance, inspections, and tenant communication. Perfect if you want peace of mind or live outside the area.
Can you find me a tenant only?
Absolutely. We offer tenant-find services for landlords who want to manage the property themselves. You get the benefit of our marketing and referencing without ongoing fees.
What fees do you charge for lettings?
We don’t charge until we deliver. Our fees are transparent, fair, and flexible — whether you want tenant-find or full management.
Are your tenants fully referenced?
Yes. We use a robust referencing system covering affordability, employment, credit history, and previous landlord checks.
How quickly can you let my property?
In many cases, we secure tenants within a week. Our listings go live on Rightmove and Zoopla within 24 hours of photography.
What areas do you cover for lettings?
Primarily NR1 to NR7, including Eaton, Taverham, Cringleford, and surrounding Norwich suburbs.

First-Time Buyer & Mortgage FAQs
Can I still use gifted money for a house deposit?
Yes — but there are new rules. You’ll need a gift letter and six months of proof from the family member providing the funds. Read our full blog on gifted deposit mortgage rules for more guidance.
Should I sell before I buy?
Usually, yes. Being “proceedable” — i.e. having your home sold or under offer — makes you more attractive to sellers. Read our blog on selling before buying for more.
Do I need a solicitor before I find a home?
Not necessarily, but it helps to have one lined up early to speed up the process once your offer is accepted. We can recommend trusted local solicitors.
How much deposit do I need to buy in Norwich?
Most buyers need at least 5%–10%. For example, on a £250,000 property in NR2, you’d need £12,500–£25,000.
