FREE LISTING
No Sale. No Fee.
OUR FEE... Open, honest, fair. Your home is your biggest asset and deserves the best, so a high level of trust and quality of service should be the first consideration when it comes to selling. However, moving can be an expensive process, and so we understand that value for money is an equally important factor when choosing your agent. That’s why at Skyline we offer the perfect balance of market leading fees, without any compromise in quality or service. Our FREE LISTING means you can get your home on the market with no initial outlay, and your sale fee will be confirmed during the valuation so you know exactly what you will be paying upon completion. We can also also arrange free mortgage advice and highly competitive solicitor’s quotes to further help budget for your move. No need to haggle, at Skyline everyone gets mate’s rates.

Chris and the team at Skyline not only managed to find a buyer for our home in ONE day but they also managed to find us our perfect new home too. Can’t thank them enough. Always so quick to respond to queries and always kept in touch to keep us up to date on progress. Thanks so much :). Emeera Cole
The Skyline team have just delivered a first class service. They were extremely professional, efficient, considerate and supportive especially when several unexpected issues arose. I would award this company 10 stars were it possible and highly recommend Skyline to anyone wishing to either sell or purchase property. They liaise with all concerned to ensure a truly professional and reliable process from start to finish. Alan Rea

We recently sold a property through Skyline Real Estate and would like to thank Chris Ferguson and his team. The service was excellent, professional and helpful and communications timely and informative. When some last minute difficulties arose, Chris stepped up and resolved the situation, ensuring the transaction completed on schedule, much to our relief as we were abroad. We are happy to recommend Skyline. Pam Houston

6 TOP TIPS FOR SELLING YOUR HOME... Selling your home can be a daunting experience but it doesn’t have to be. Here are just a few quick tips we recommend following in order to help boost your chances of getting a quick sale and achieving the best price.
1
FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT First impressions are all important and can make or break the interest in your property. Try to look at your property as if you were seeing it for the first time. Spend time tidying up the outside of the house to improve its kerb appeal e.g. lawn and hedges trimmed and clear of any unneccesary junk. Entrance halls should be welcoming and well lit.
2
SPRING CLEAN Cleanliness and tidiness should never be underestimated so take time to ensure all surfaces are cleaned, particularly in high impact rooms such as the bathroom and kitchen where a sparkling floor will instantly lift the room. This will also make your home smell fresh and appealing.
3
FIX IT Noticible defects, even minor ones, will send the wrong message to potential buyers. From repairing skirting boards to replacing damaged door handles, getting all the little and relatively inexpensive problems fixed before putting the house on the market is a smart idea.
4
ELIMINATE CLUTTER It’s common sense but clutter doesn’t sell homes, it makes them seem smaller and disorganised. Take time to remove as much as possible without leaving the rooms bare.
5
PAINT A fresh lick of paint in certain rooms or throughout can help give your home a lift and is well worth the cost of doing so. Neutral colours won’t put any buyer off, whereas strong statement colours or wallpaper can. Potential buyers walking through your home can envisage putting their own stamp on the house without having to remove yours first.
6
THE LITTLE TOUCHES Appealing to the senses can have a great impact. Coffee percolating, the perfume of freshly cut flowers or baking bread will add to the appeal of your property. Pet aromas won’t! Try to keep your home warm in the winter and well ventilated in the summer.

PERFECT PLUMBING & HEATING ‘YOU WOULDN’T ACCEPT ANYTHING LESS THAN PERFECT’
John Reid Surveying Services Before purchasing a new property it is essential that a survey is carried out to fully assess the condition of this property. We can carry out a House Condition Survey on any property which you are buying and provide you with a detailed report written by a professional RICS Surveyor. This survey is much more comprehensive than the valuation survey undertaken by your mortgage lender. Our survey will cover each element of the property and will identify any defects and provide estimated costs of all repairs.
