Why work with us?
We begin with a complimentary, no-obligation valuation, offering advice on how to present your home in the light it deserves and sharing insight into nuanced aspects like the local agricultural leasehold customs. Throughout the marketing phase, we maintain regular, open communication; reporting viewer feedback clearly and advising on timing, offers and negotiation strategy.
Our support extends beyond standard agency work. We offer a moving-planning checklist, insights into optimal selling times given seasonal and market variations, and a useful FAQ that addresses issues such as leasehold rights, conveyancing steps, and onward buying or letting options. When completion day arrives, our involvement continues with follow-up support, ensuring your transition is confident and well-managed; whether you’re moving next door or further afield!
THE VALUATION
Your home is important to us. We visit your property and carry out market research to formulate a realistic valuation marketing price on your home. A recommended chartered surveyor will then be instructed to carry out a Home Report (if required).
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Creating the right first impression is very important when selling your property. We can give you advice and guidance on how to create the best ambience within your home.
PHOTOGRAPHY
The best agents will only use the highest quality images to present your home. First impressions do count, therefore, we want to ensure the photographs leave a lasting impression with potential buyers.
MARKETING YOUR HOME
Marketing your home well is essential to us. A variety of property brochure styles are available if this is something you are interested in, and details of your property will be placed in our office window display.
FLOOR PLANS
We create individual floor plans for each property to allow buyers to visualise the layout of your home and envisage how they would live there.
SALE BOARDS
We understand that the ‘For Sale’ board still proves itself as a strategic way of advertising your home. It generates interest through word of mouth from neighbours and passers-by to potential buyers.
EMAIL MARKETING
We have a database of our clients and are able to match potential buyers with your home. This proactive approach ensures each prospective buyer is contacted by a personal call or email to let them know your property is on the market.
ACCOMPANIED VIEWINGS
We believe that accompanied viewings are the best way to sell your home. Our experienced team understand the skills involved in showing your property with maximum effect to a potential buyer. All viewers are screened before they view your property to establish their name, contact details and buying position. Viewings are arranged in advance at a mutually agreed time and will be followed up for feedback.
OFFERS
Whether the sale of your property is negotiated with a single buyer or it sells at a closing date, we will guide you through every step of the process. When we receive an offer from a potential buyer, we will let you know immediately and will negotiate on your behalf to reach a price that is acceptable to you. We will always give you our honest recommendations on each offer made.
ACCEPTING AN OFFER
When an offer is accepted, respective solicitors are then notified and will begin the conveyancing process. If you do not have a solicitor, we will be happy to make recommendations.
COMPLETION DAY
From having your offer accepted to the date of completion usually takes several weeks. Within that timescale, solicitors perform their searches, and then the bank finance can all be put in place, if a mortgage is required.
How to stage your home
When buyers are looking for a new home, you want to do everything you can to show them your property’s potential. Helping buyers to picture themselves living in your home not only means you receive better offers but that you sell more quickly too. Here we share our top tips to prepare your home for sale:
DE-CLUTTER
Buyers can often struggle to see past furniture and personal items and these things can make rooms feel small. People often buy into a lifestyle, try and show them your home life at its best.
A FRESH LICK OF PAINT
Creating the right first impression is very important when selling your property. Giving your walls a fresh lick of paint is all it takes to brighten up your room and can make all the difference when it comes to creating the right first impression.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT
Buyers will often drive past a property to rate its kerb appeal before they express any interest. Tidy up the garden or driveway, clean the windows and give the front door a spruce with some fresh paint.
FIX, FIX, FIX
Small outstanding repairs can be easy to ignore when you see them every day but when a buyer comes to look around your property they can make the place look quite tired. Look around every room in your home, make a list of quick-fixes and get them sorted.
DON’T FORGET TO CLEAN
Many people get so intimidated when it comes to cleaning when preparing to sell a home. You want everything squeaky clean. Try not to overlook areas as they can stand out in a freshly cleaned house. Don’t forget to make sure you have all the supplies you need. It’s easy to lose motivation if you have to stop to find supplies or go out and buy them.
