Look for agents with strong local market knowledge of your specific area within KY11, whether that is Dunfermline, Inverkeithing, Dalgety Bay or elsewhere. Check their proven sales performance in your specific area and price range, quality of their marketing materials including photography and floorplans, and positive client reviews on Google and Trustpilot. Ask about their database of active buyers, their marketing strategy, their proposed timeline for selling your property, and their experience with properties similar to yours - particularly if you have a period or listed property.

While not legally required when selling, obtaining a survey is highly recommended and can actually speed up your sale. KY11 has a significant number of older properties including listed buildings in conservation areas like Inverkeithing and Limekilns, as well as properties potentially affected by mining legacy or flood risk from local burns. A RICS Level 2 Survey can identify any structural issues before buyers discover them during their own surveys, potentially derailing sales or reducing final sale prices. Our surveyors commonly find issues with damp, roof condition, and outdated electrics in properties across the area.
