Your guide to selling property

First Impressions Matter

Buyers are discerning. From the moment they step into your property—whether online or in person—they’re assessing it closely.

To capture their attention and hold their interest, your home must be presented at its absolute best. That’s why preparation is key.

A good agent will guide you from the outset with clear, practical advice to ensure your property shines.

Our golden rules: declutter, depersonalise, and choose the right agent who will support you through this process.

Remember: you only get one chance to make a first impression.

Appraisal vs. Valuation

Pricing your home is not a fixed science. Traditional valuations often overlook the realities of today’s housing market. Instead, we focus on continuous appraisal—monitoring local supply and demand, buyer behaviour, economic factors and wider property market trends.

This ensures your property is priced to attract the right buyers and remain competitive, remember demand is desire.

Choosing Your Agent & Pricing Correctly

This decision is critical. The wrong advice or agent can lead to wasted time and missed opportunities. As a personal agent, we operate without hidden agendas or corporate targets.

Our sole objective is to position your property in a way that creates strong demand and win your trust, not your business.

In today’s market, effective exposure requires more than a listing. Think professional photo shoot, high-quality video, CGI Images and drones footage.

With most buyers scrolling on their phones daily, a strong social media presence is non negotiable. If your property isn’t visible there, you’re already behind.

Preparing for Viewings

Rushing to show a property before it’s ready rarely pays off. Instead, we help you present your home to the highest standard so that each visit isn't wasted (every viewing is hard earned and precious). We will kick you out for every viewing so that buyers are comfortable and can speak freely (we need to be able to overcome any objectives on the spot).

Whether through private appointments, block viewings, or open houses, we work seven days a week to make sure that opportunities aren't missed and both you and the buyers get flexibility.

Offers & Selecting the Right Buyer

Not all offers are created equal. Beyond the numbers, we look at the buyer’s circumstances, history, and commitment.

By understanding their journey and working with trusted mortgage brokers, we ensure that accepted offers are realistic and reliable.

Our job is not just to secure an offer—it’s to secure the right offer for you.

Choosing a Solicitor

This is a really important bit and we cannot stress this enough! Your solicitor plays a vital role in the process, often more than sellers anticipate. The difference between a smooth transaction and a frustrating one can come down to this choice.

There are some excellent firms out there, and there are some awful ones! Our advice: use a recommended solicitor, (recommended by your agent or someone you trust who has used them personally… and recently).

A good solicitor is your co-pilot through the process—make sure you’re flying first class, not back in the queue.

We work with some fantastic firms that would be happy to give you a quote when the time is right.

Navigating to Exchange & Completion

This stage is often unpredictable—quiet stretches can be interrupted by sudden complications.

By staying proactive, and offering constant communication via email, phone, WhatsApp, we can keep momentum, resolve issues quickly, and ensure the process stays on track.

Once again, the quality of your solicitor will make a significant difference here.
