Q: Why don’t you have an office?

A: We don’t need one! We’re able to sell or rent your property without needing to take on the additional cost of maintaining a high street office. It’s avoiding these unnecessary costs that lets us offer such competitive prices.

Q: How will you market my property?

A: We will market your property via a number of different routes. We will create listings on our website, Rightmove, Zoopla, and PrimeLocation. Your property will also be advertised on social media using our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. Finally, we will send an email that focuses on your property out to our entire client database.

Q: What will you do if my property isn’t selling?

A: Communication is key. If your property is struggling to sell, we’ll discuss the problem with you and we’ll suggest ways that we could adjust the marketing strategy. By holding an honest and open conversation like this, we make sure that any issues are addressed quickly and everyone is kept informed.

Q: Do I need to have a For Sale or To Let sign outside my property?

A: For Sale and To Let signs can be an excellent way to attract attention to your property from passersby. However, not everyone feels comfortable with them and we will never insist that our clients have one. You have complete control of the sales process when you list your property with us.

A: It’s completely up to you. There’s no need to be present if you don’t want to be.

Q: Will I receive feedback after viewings?

A: Yes – we will do everything we can to gather feedback after viewings. We can’t guarantee that you’ll receive feedback as there’s always the chance that people won’t want to respond but we’ll call, message, and email people to see what they thought of the property.
