What we offer
Residential sales – 11 steps to selling your property
People always ask us “What exactly do you do to help sell our property?” As no two properties are the same, it first comes down to our experience and knowledge in determining a realistic valuation. Then it’s down to a great deal of attention to detail maintaining good communication and a focus for hard work.
1. Valuation: The most important (and often overlooked) part of selling a property. We aim to provide an accurate figure that will result in a sale at the right price and in a realistic timescale. We may not provide you with the highest or lowest valuation, but one that we genuinely believe in based on our years of experience. We are not here to impress you with an unrealistic figure.
2. Property presentation: First impressions count and it clearly shows in the upkeep and presentation of your home. We are here to advise you on what to do, what not to do, and how to ensure your home looks its best. Cloudy skies? We’ll come back when it’s sunny.
3. Being particular: Along with our quality photos, your property particulars will include an accurate and detailed guide to your home. We will conduct a complete survey of the interior and exterior footprint, establish energy performance ratings, council tax banding charges, and of course a full assessment in the copy description. Any specific history, listing or points for interest should also be included.
4. Floor plans: Our floor plans are drawn up and presented in a traditional, two dimensional plan perspective as we believe they are clearer and less confusing than when displayed in three dimension. As not everyone does this, we draw up plans for all of our properties, at no extra cost.
5. Exposure: All our properties feature ‘globally’ on Rightmove, OnTheMarket and of course our own website. We also send details to our extensive applicant list, display your property in our window and provide you with our distinctive sale board.
6. Accompanied viewings: We consider this an essential part of estate agency and you will never have to conduct your own viewings. We will always be there to impart as much information on your home as we can.
7. The right buyer: We will make every effort to fully qualify the buyer and clarify the chain behind them.
8. Keen negotiation: We work for you, the vendor, at all times but appreciate the need for compromise to achieve a result that everyone is happy with. Our team negotiates on a daily basis and we will take care of those tough conversations on your behalf.
9. Useful contacts: Should you need it, we can help recommend a number of our tried and trusted local contacts including; solicitors, movers, architects, plumbers and electricians. You name it, we’ll know someone who can help.
10. Sales progression: Once a sale has been agreed we maintain the energy and continuity working hard with you to reach a suitable target date for completion. Should any problems arise on survey, we are qualified to give you the best possible advice.
11. Completion day: The day you hand over your property and collect the keys for your new home. This day, much like the selling process, does not always run smooth. We’ll be there to keep you informed every step of the way.
