How to choose the right Estate Agent.

We will help you assess the likely value of your home before asking local Estate Agents to value it. This will avoid the obvious tactic of a flattering over-valuation designed purely to win your business. If you wish, we can also retain an involvement during the sale process.

All properties now require a HIP by law. There are a vast number of suppliers, and prices vary considerably. We will help you source the best option.

How should you present your property for sale or rent?

Is your home presented in the right way to sell or let quickly, and at the best price? We will advise on how best to do so.

Estate Agents are not impartial when ‘advising’ you.

They want your property on the market now. Don’t ask an Estate Agent whether you should replace your Kitchen or Bathroom before selling. The answer will be no, because it suits them to get your business quickly. Get real impartial advice, from someone who is working for you.

What is a fair fee for selling or renting your property?

Different agents charge different fees, sometimes a fixed amount, and sometimes a percentage of the sale or rental price.

We’ll help you understand the value (or not) of some of the additional services being offered, to help you decide who to appoint.

How much can you negotiate with an Estate Agent?

We think you’ll be surprised by just how flexible some agents are. We will help you negotiate a fair and reasonable arrangement with your preferred agent.

Sole, Joint or Multi agents? What is right for your property?

We’ll help you assess the market for your type of property, and advise on which way you should go.

What contract terms should you agree to?

Some agents offer simpler terms of business than others, and most include a minimum period of time during which you cannot change to a different Estate Agent, even if they don’t do what they said they would! We’ll help you decide what is reasonable.
