How do agents calculate your home’s value?

The more properties an estate agent sells in a month, the less they rely on paperbased statistics to determine the value of a home. As a leading estate agent in the area, we have a constant flow of properties launching in the market and receiving offers. This high frequency informs us how a property’s price will influence the speed of sale. Launching your property on the market with a realistic price tag is critical to ascertain a buyer's quick reaction.

The result? Fewer viewings and fewer offers, an incredibly frustrating situation we wish to avoid imposing on our customers. Instead, we're open about the best ways we will help you reach your next goal, including recommending a price that is just right. That said, it's worth remembering that the price at the point of going on the market is not set in stone. It is best to approach your sale with an element of fluidity and flexibility so that we can adjust pricing strategies according to changes in buyer activity.

Ultimately, the demand from buyers will dictate what price your home is sold for rather than the price exclaimed by a salesperson. That said, we're with you every step of the way. You can expect weekly reviews that include buyer feedback and analysis of the advertised price. Because our sales team monitors buyer activity daily, you can rely on us to know when a price needs to be adjusted to attract more interest. Even before a property's launch, we commonly discuss several price points or a price range with our customers in the context of an overall marketing strategy.

Negotiating your onward move Of course, every seller wants to achieve the highest price, but profit is often not the primary motivator when selling. Speaking to our customers, the main driver is to move and get on with the next chapter of their lives. Rest assured that we’ll work hard to get you there. If your price needs to be reduced, we can step in to negotiate on the home you’ve got your eyes on to remove the intimidation many feel when negotiating prices. You can leave us to liaise with other

Paint & Wallpaper PRESENTED BY

Ellie Eccleston Assistant Lettings Manager, Gravesend

Navigating the world of home design amidst evolving paint and wallpaper trends requires a keen eye for the latest innovations. Here are our top picks to help your home stay trendy.

The trendsetters at The Pantone Colour Institute have picked ‘Peach Fuzz’ as the colour of the year, which means this shade will be popping up everywhere and on everything. So, whether you’re looking for a new colour to paint your home or simply a few striking new accessories, this ‘comforting hue that softly nestles between pink and orange’ is definitely one to consider.

Dulux, has given us a hug in a tin with ‘Sweet Embrace’, a delicate yet modern soft pink colour that’s said to ‘bring a sense of stability and softness to a space’. Unlike last year’s Barbiecore-inspired shades, ‘Sweet Embrace’ is super versatile due to its ability to change tone in different lights and to harmonize with numerous other colours. Making it a great choice for home offices, snug spaces or inviting hallways.

Not a fan of pink or peach? Then don’t worry; eco-friendly paint company Earthborn has you covered with their gorgeous new shade of ‘Hopscotch’. Still tapping into the warm and welcoming colour trend, this chalky neutral can either give you an elegant foundation for softer-toned interior design schemes or act as the perfect backdrop for layers of brighter colour.

Murals, feature walls and wallpapered ceilings are also hot topics this year and Farrow and Ball’s collaboration with celebrated fashion designer Christopher John Rogers urges us to fill our homes with playful paint and paper combinations. The great news is that renters can also jump on this trend due to the increasing number of removable wallpaper options.

Wallsauce.com is one of the leading suppliers that offer everything from muted marbles and landscapes to wild florals and abstracts.

They even offer the option to create your own ‘masterpiece’, and if you think murals should only be used in children's bedrooms, look at the stunning selection of arty museum-inspired pieces produced by surfaceview.co.uk. There really is something to suit every style and colourway, and when you fancy a change, you simply peel it off!

profits accrued during the rental period.

Regular rent reviews are a balancing act between maintaining a healthy income and contented tenants. Beyond the initial leasing period, market dynamics change, and it's

essential to ensure that your property's rent remains in line with current market values.

However, push too hard, and you may have disgruntled tenants on your hands.

Our approach to rent reviews is proactive, preventing the property from falling behind the market value and avoiding the risk of amiable tenants facing sudden and substantial rent hikes.

It's not uncommon for landlords to overlook the importance of regular rent reviews.

Some may need to be made aware that their current agents have neglected this aspect for an extended period, leading to missed opportunities for increased income.

Many landlords may also feel uncomfortable getting involved in rent negotiations, especially if they have a close relationship with their tenants who pay their rent religiously. Relying on your letting agent to manage discussions around rent is a service we offer with favourable results for our landlords.

We recognise the challenges tenants face with abrupt and significant rent increases, which can strain monthly budgets, impact quality of life and potentially prompt tenants to seek alternative accommodation.

Therefore, our goal is to avoid unnecessary financial burdens, believing in modest adjustments that align with market values ensuring the property remains an attractive and affordable home for tenants.

Regular rent increases are crucial in maintaining profitability for landlords with properties under a buy-to-let mortgage. If left unaddressed, mortgage term changes could decrease the Landlord's net income.

Attempting to pass the increased cost onto the tenant overnight might leave them with considerably less disposable income, potentially leading to tenancy issues.

In addition to these considerations, the trend towards longer two-year leases or

Thinking of remortgaging?

We might be able to save you money.

Contact us today.

If you are a property owner, it is likely your current mortgage arrangements need to be renewed every 2-5 years. Speak to an Independent Mortgage Adviser six months before your current mortgage deal expires. This will give you plenty of time to assess your options and choose the best product for you.

Call or meet an Independent Mortgage Adviser within the convenience of a local branch. They will explain the remortgage process, present the available borrowing options, and help secure a mortgage product that meets your requirements.

Our Independent Mortgage Advisers have access to the widest selection of products from the leading lenders, plus mortgage providers not on the high street.
