If you’re thinking of selling, appointing the right estate agent is critical – see why people choose us.
We update you regularly with everything you need to know to keep abreast of your properties’ performance, how the market is faring and what viewers truly think of your property.
Our mission is to help people move onto the next chapter of their lives, not to get as many houses in our window as possible by any means. Our advice will always be honest and realistic, ensuring you stand the best chance of moving and ultimately achieve the best price for your property by getting it right the first time.
We work very hard to get you the best possible price for your home. However, we don’t stop there. We will also research, support and negotiate on your behalf, to buy any property in England and Wales (as long as we aren’t the agent also selling it!), to make sure you pay as little as possible, maximising the overall financial result for you.
The national average time it takes for solicitors to get you moved is 16 weeks, with 35% of deals agreed never resulting in a move happening. We have reduced this to 90 days on average for the legal work, with only 6% falling through – ask us how!
We invest heavily to constantly evolve and streamline the whole process to reduce how much you have to do (everyone is busy!), and to free up our staff’s time, so they can spend more of it with you and on getting your property sold!
If you’re looking to sell your property, then don’t hesitate to book a valuation with our friendly team – and take one step closer to your house move. Our local experts will help you overcome the common problems faced by sellers, ensuring your experience is as fast, smooth and straightforward as possible.
