After you have instructed me I will arrange a suitable time for a professional photographer to visit the property in order to take photographs, create a floorplan, take room measurements and note down key information about your property. I will give guidance on how to prepare and present your property to its full potential which is also known as staging. I also offer a specialist staging service if required.

Once I have completed the staging visit, I will produce a draft set of property details and within 48 hours will request final approval. Once this is obtained, your property will be made live on the major property portals in just a few hours or on the agreed marketing start date. If agreed, I will also arrange for a “For Sale” board to be erected where appropriate. You are in control all the way through, remember, this is a partnership in order to gain maximum value from your home.

As you’d expect, prospective buyers are vetted before a suitable time is agreed and every enquiry is answered, thereby ensuring that every lead and opportunity is processed. Communication is a key focus of mine, valuing the importance of providing regular market report updates, discussing the performance of your listing and ensuring that you receive prompt and accurate viewing feedback.

With each offer received, I will negotiate the highest price and assess the buyers financial position in terms of whether they are cash buyers or relying on a mortgage. I will vet prospective buyers by asking for proof of deposit, mortgage offer in principal and check that their existing property is sold subject to contract should this be required.

When an offer has been successfully negotiated, I will prepare and send a “memorandum of sale” to all parties (including solicitors) which will trigger the start of the conveyancing process. I will ensure that your sale completes as efficiently as it can by providing regular updates throughout the process, keeping in direct communication with various parties, such as the buyer’s solicitor, their mortgage broker, surveyors, the buyer themselves and of course you and your solicitor. Do remember I am available on my mobile 07984 746407 seven days a week. Helping my clients is at the heart of everything I do.

The market will determine what the buyer is prepared to pay for your property. Our job is to help ensure your property is valued accurately, this is essential and is backed up by real evidence. It’s understandably tempting to instruct the agent who gives the highest valuation, however a recent report from Zoopla showed that the original asking price for a third of properties on the market had to be reduced by £25,000 on average before selling. Every property will sell if it’s presented, marketed and most importantly priced correctly. I am equipped with the latest valuation tools, having more time to focus on property market levels, thereby meaning that the most accurate, evidence based valuations can be provided. Should you disagree with my valuation, or have been persuaded by another agent that it should be higher, then we can test the market for you, however in all cases I will do my utmost to sell your home at the highest price possible.

I rely mostly on recommendations from previous vendors. It’s essential for me to sell as many properties I can in order to grow the business. Additionally, I am motivated to beat traditional agents and help enforce revolutionary changes in the market to benefit my clients, on fees and service. I will regularly ask for feedback, enabling me to continually improve my service. Furthermore, I am paid once a sale is completed so unlike some high street agents who get paid purely for listing properties, I do not receive my fee until the whole transaction has gone through.

Yes, if perhaps you already have an asking price in mind that you would like to aim for, you can instruct me at any time. I can immediately get to work on preparing your property for an agreed market launch date however, as I believe getting the initial guide price right is essential to achieving the very best price, it is always advisable for me to visit the property prior to launch and to meet my clients, this also helps when processing money laundering documents to satisfy current regulations etc.

It depends on availability however it’s typically within 24 hours of your booking.

You will need to check your notice period with them. If you are outside your fixed term contract period, then you should be able to move easily. You could also opt for a multiple agency agreement with your existing agent, however this will likely result in an increase in their fees. It is counter-productive to list your property with two agents as it could mean duplicate adverts appearing on the same property portals and also mean you are required to pay two fees instead of one.

I will ensure that your advertisement is approved by you before it goes live on all property portals. I also ensure that the particulars are correct and that images and floorplan are properly displayed.

None at all.

Absolutely, I obtain key information such as their full name, address, contact information and check their buying status and financial position.

I will prepare everything within 48 hours of receiving the photographs and will request approval from you once ready. I usually beat this timeframe and more often than not, have clients ready to launch within 24 hours of receiving final photos.
