This means that we can identify and help you capitalise on the subtle differences between local residential areas.
Whether you are selling or letting your home, we know what works for the Marine Estate may differ from Central Leigh, Chalkwell or the Burgess Estate.
We make sure that our local knowledge extends to all of the areas that we cover from Leigh, Hadleigh and Westcliff to Chalkwell, Southend and Thorpe Bay.
In this way we are able to clearly market our customers homes to the correct potential buyers who are more likely to show interest in your property.
Our local knowledge is second to none.
We always strive to obtain the very best price for your property.
Of the many important things to consider when selling your home, setting the right price is vital to the success of your sale.
We apply a great deal of thought and experience to evaluating and pricing your home to sell. We will start with a ‘no obligation’ appraisal, assessing the location, the look, the size and the condition of your property. But we don’t stop there.
Our expert valuers will thoroughly research current trends and gather market intelligence in your street and the wider area. We will review land registry information, make like-for-like comparisons with a range of current properties and investigate past trends in your area to gain insight into your home’s value.
With our experience and knowledge of the local area, we can provide you with a comprehensive strategy to ensure we obtain the maximum price for your home.
We love what we do. We love to make the business of selling your home as simple, successful and stress-free as possible.
Keeping you informed.
We keep on top of your sale from the day we take on your property to the day you complete. We closely monitor how many hits your property has generated on our website, how many viewings it’s had and what offers you’ve received. We gauge local trends, what properties are selling and constantly assess how your property is performing in the market.
We’ll stay in contact with you continuously, provide help, information and guidance on exactly how the sale is going and what we can do together to progress the transaction.
As your sale moves forward, our dedicated sales progression team will remain in contact with you as the seller, the solicitors, the mortgage lenders, the buyer and anyone else involved, to keep the whole process moving quickly and efficiently.
Ultimately, good communication means good customer service.
