Your home is likely to be the biggest asset you own, so it’s really important that when you come to sell it you do so for the right price and to the best buyer available. We take our responsibility as agents very seriously and take pride in doing a job well. Follow our guide and you can be sure that will achieve the best price possible.

#1 Make sure your property is fully exposed to the market

Often we see agents advertising ‘Under offer in less than 24 hours’ or ‘Sold on the first viewing’. How can you be sure that you get the best price in this fast moving market if your property has only been offered to a few hand picked buyers? We work hard to maximise the potential audience for your home with online & traditional marketing methods so you’ll know all prospective buyers will have seen your home is for sale.

#2 What’s the rush? Let’s take some time to present your property properly

We keep seeing property being marketed as ‘Coming Soon’, with no internal photos and sometimes no measurements or floorplans. Presentation can make a big difference to the price you achieve. We have been professionally trained to photograph your home and have a top of the range Digital SLR camera with tripod, flash & wide angle lens to make sure that your home looks picture perfect.

#3 Let us Host an Open House Event

We often see agents advertising ‘Sold on the first viewing’, but did they earn their fee? By giving all potential buyers a chance to view you can choose the best buyer available rather than just taking the first offer that comes along. We will market your home for a week to 10 days beforehand to ensure a good turn out.

#4 Ask for a copy of our ‘How to add £5,000 to the value of your home’ guide

We know buyers try to justify why they shouldn’t pay the asking price for your property. Follow our top tips on how best to present your house for sale and eliminate those excuses from their ammunition.
