About CKB Estate Agents

We are a truly independent, family run, local estate agency, specializing in sales, lettings and property management in and around London, Kent and Surrey Areas.

CKB Estate Agents was founded by cousins Cengiz Kemal and Kemal Bicer back in 2014. Before they founded CKB they already had a vast amount of experience with property and loved the industry, but were dissatisfied with the negative image of estate agents and the service agents were providing.

Fed up with poor standards of client service, their solution was CKB Estate Agents, a modern estate agency based on traditional values of honesty, integrity and loyalty. CKB Estate Agents offer a modern approach to the Estate Agency Industry whilst keeping inline with traditional values and morals. They specialise in Sales, Lettings, Property Management, Land & New Homes, Developments and more.

Our Lettings Service for Landlords

paragraph

Why choose us?

We believe that one of the most important decisions of a Landlord is deciding on which Letting Agent to use. A letting agent is fundamental to a successful tenancy and therefore we have tailored our services to put us at the forefront of the industry, positioning us ahead of our competitors to achieve this objective for you. We have won the GOLD award for the BEST LETTING AGENT IN SE9 for three years running based on our customer service and delivery of results within our local area.

Whether you're a first time landlord or have a pre-established lettings portfolio, you can be sure that with our wide range of services we can tailor make a package to suit your needs.

Have a read below for more information on our lettings services and what we have to offer our Landlord Clients.
paragraph

Step 1- An Accurate Valuation

The achievable rental value of your property is determined by many factors including location and number of bedrooms, local services and amenities, the cosmetic appearance and overall condition of the property. CKB Estate Agents will advise you on a realistic rental value taking into account all of these factors together with the current state of the local market.
paragraph

Step 2- Consider Property Management

Looking after a rented property is easy when you have a responsible tenant's and live locally. However, if anything goes go wrong from a boiler breakdown to a tenant losing their job it can get very stressful. There is a mountain of legal obligations, with seemingly more forms to complete every day. Let us take the strain and manage your property for you. We can ensure you're protected in every way and we'll work hard to make sure you're not out of pocket financially. We're proud of our knowledge of the industry and will always act in your best interests at all times.
paragraph

Step 3 - Preparing your property for a tenancy

Decide whether to let your property furnished or unfurnished. Furnished properties will give a better visual impression to the prospective Tenants on how the property will look, making it more likely to rent quicker. However, the down side is that offering the property furnished will increase costs over time as wear and tear necessitate replacing the furniture. We always recommend that properties are offered to Tenants with White Goods included as a minimum (Washing Machine, Cooker and Fridge Freezer) if letting the property on an unfurnished basis. Flexibility is key as this will broaden the appeal of the property to prospective tenants as individual requirements vary. Anything surplus to requirements should be removed and placed into storage if needs be.
paragraph

Step 4 - Marketing your property

CKB Estate Agents vigorously market all our available stock across a wide variety of mediums. We subscribe to all property portals such as Rightmove and we display your properties on this website as well as with in our shop window. We have many highly visible, strategically placed 'To Let' boards in the area. Your property will receive maximum exposure using a combination of these methods backed up by daily contact with pre-vetted potential tenants from our database. We aim to avoid void periods and to maximise the return on your investment.
paragraph

Step 5 - Receiving an offer

Once we receive an offer, we will relay that information to you, together with detailed information on the potential tenants. We check their situation, employment status, who is intending to move in, and how long they are looking to rent for. As the Landlord, you have the final say as to whether you wish to proceed and accept their offer. If not, viewings will continue until a suitable tenant is found.
paragraph

Step 6 - Offer Agreed

At this point, we will ask for a holding deposit from the applicants and ask them to visit the office with their Right to Rent ID which will be checked and copied. We will also commence the referencing process. During this time, viewings are suspended until all checks have been completed to everybody's satisfaction. If the arrangement falls through at any point, we will re-commence viewings immediately.
paragraph

Step 7 - References Checked

All Tenants will undergo through background checks. We use an independent referencing company to report on their suitability and credit-worthiness, including their payment history on any previous lending and any adverse credit e.g. CCJ's or bankruptcies. Their identity is also verified as is their right to live and work in the UK - We cover the Right to Rent checks including whether they are subject to any immigration control. If they have rented properties in the past, we will ask their Landlords to provide us with a reference. This information is provided by a variety of sources including credit reference agencies like Experian or Equifax and is compiled into a report which gives a final credit score, and whether they have passed or failed. From that we can paint a very good picture on their suitability as a tenant for your property.
paragraph

Step 8 - Move in Monies paid and agreement signed

Once all referencing is completed and deemed satisfactory, we then ask the tenants to pay their first months rent and security deposit. Upon receipt of cleared funds, we will arrange for the tenancy agreement to be drawn up and signed by all parties. All deposits are protected in a Government approved deposit scheme.
paragraph

Step 9 - Move in Day

If an inventory was ordered, the Clerk will meet the tenants at the property to conduct the check in process. The meter readings will be taken, the keys will be photographed and then handed to the Tenant. If the property is managed, we will also retain a set of keys at our offices. Within seven days the inventory will be sent to the Tenant for them to agree and sign, with any amendments highlighted within 14 days or the inventory will be locked down.

Moving Home Can be a life-changing experience

paragraph

Moving home is not complicated but can be a daunting prospect. At CKB Estate Agents we recognise that your property is probably the largest single investment you will ever make.

Buying and selling property is a very people orientated business and good communication is essential for a successful move. In recognising this, our sales team consists of highly experienced and talented property professionals. Our talented and knowledgeable team of specialists are genuinely committed to providing a first class service with a personal touch. All our staff have excellent communication skills and are committed to providing the highest levels of care and attention throughout the entire sales process.

We offer the widest range of property services within the vicinity, all under one roof, and will always strive to achieve the best possible price for your property without being unrealistic.

Our aim is simple; to provide an unrivalled service whilst assisting you from offer to completion and communicate regularly throughout the entire process. With experience in all types of property sales around London, Kent and Surrey, we understand that each property is unique and therefore we believe there is no one size fits all approach when selling property.
paragraph

Step 1 - Valuation and Property Appraisal

Pitching the price of a property correctly is a skill. Too high and you won't receive any interest. Too low and the property sells for much less than it is worth. An accurate valuation pulls together information from several resources: The cosmetic, general structural condition and future potential of the property, the prices achieved for similar properties in the area. This information is reviewed and an appropriate asking price is offered to you.
paragraph

Step 2 - Selecting an Estate Agent

Selecting the right estate agent to represent y our interest is most important. Sound local knowledge, well trained highly motivated staff; clear, fair terms of business, a competitive fee structure and a proven history of sealing deals should be high on your list of priorities. The agent that gives you the highest valuation is not always the best for you. Our staff are trained to an exceptionally high standard so you can rely on us.
paragraph

Step 3 - Obtaining an EPC

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates the energy efficiency of a property and its carbon emissions. As of 6th April 2012, the EPC details should be displayed on all property particulars and it is now a legal requirement to provide an EPC for most properties in England and Wales.
paragraph

Step 4 - Instructing a solicitor (Conveyancer)

You will need to decide who will do your conveyancing. Conveyancing is the term used to describe the legal process you must go through when selling or selling a home. Conveyancing can be done by a solicitor or a licensed conveyancer. Find out what their fees are, what other legal costs are involved and when these are payable. We can recommend a solicitor if you do not have one.
paragraph

Step 5 - Presenting your property

Prospective buyers will come to view your property, by appointment through the estate agent. Ensure your home is tidy and clean. De-clutter and take down any personal photographs for viewings - it makes the property less personal to you and more of a blank canvas for those looking around.
paragraph

Step 6 - Marketing your property

To find the right buyer your property needs maximum exposure across a wide range of media. We offer a range of important marketing benefits which will aid in getting you the best possible price. To raise the profile of your property we always recommend these following methods:
Erecting a For Sale board - This is one of the most effective ways to advertise and attract buyers to your property. They really do work and they advertise your property 24 hours every day.

E-mail - The world of technology now enables us to send your property all around the world with a simple click of a button.

Direct marketing - We will contact any prospective purchasers who are registered with us and inform them of your property within minutes of receiving your instructions. Any details will be sent via any methods of communication including emails and SMS alerts. Targeting a direct market of registers applicants ensures we don't get time wasters.

Website and property portals - Our website is updated instantly and full details of your home will be placed as soon as details have been approved. In addition to advertising on our website, we also advertise in local press and through national property portals.
paragraph

Step 7 - Accompanied viewings

CKB Estate Agents believe that flexible opening times are essential to maximize viewing opportunities for your home. We know that our customers need to work around their usual daily commitments, resulting in a large number of our clients viewing after work or at weekends. Accompanied viewings allow us to share our expert knowledge on your property to achieve competitive offers. The safety of our clients is paramount therefore we never allow prospective buyers to visit un-accompanied.
paragraph

Step 8 - Receiving an offer

All offers will be reported both verbally and in writing and w ewill check all offers for their validity and ask for proof of funds. We will also conduct checks under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and Money Laundering Regulations 2003 and ensure that any mortgage offer is verified. In the case of multiple offers, we will advise you on the best course of action. We will always try to achieve the best possible price for your home and act in your best interests throughout the transaction
paragraph

Step 9 - Offer Agreed

Before an offer is agreed we will check the buyer's ability to purchase a property. We can also contact the buyer's personal mortgage adviser to confirm their financial commitment. This minimises the risk of a purchase falling through. At the point of a sale being agreed, we will liaise with both your solicitor and the buyer's solicitor and prepare the memorandum of sale and we will write to all parties confirming the agreed details of the sale.

Your solicitor will request the title deeds from the lender (if appropriate). The solicitor will prepare the draft contract, which details the terms of the sale, and send it to the buyers' solicitor together with all relevant documents. The buyer's solicitor will then start the preliminary checks. The Title Deeds and Lease (if applicable) will be checked and local searches carried out. Remember that in England an offer is not legally binding, so until contracts have exchanged your buyer could change their minds without financial loss.
paragraph

Step 10 - Exchange of Contracts

At this stage both parties become legally committed to the sale, and if it falls through from this point onwards then the deposit is forfeited. Contracts are signed by both parties and the solicitor requests the buyer's deposit. A completion date is set and agreed upon by both you and the purchaser. Unless agreed otherwise (e.g. a simultaneous exchange and completion) the completion date can be anything up to 28 days from the date of exchange.
paragraph

Step 11 - Organize your move

Normally both parties will want a short period of time between exchange of contracts and completion to organize their move. If you haven't done so already you should have arranged all packing and removal duties, informed everyone of your change of address and booked any disconnections/re-connections of services for your new home. Remember on the date of completion the property is legally owned by the new buyers so allow plenty of time to move out. Don't forget the cat!

Buying a property is a very exciting experience.

paragraph

Why us?

Purchasing a property can be both exciting and extremely daunting which is why our team make it their business to ensure you are taken through every step of the way with regular communication.

Unlike many other agents we progress our sales in house meaning at any point if you have any questions or simply just want a routine update then you can visit us in branch, email or call and be put directly through to your case manager.
paragraph

Step 1 - Arranging your mortgage and other costs

Finding the right mortgage to suit your own circumstances can be daunting, with so many lenders, schemes and rates available, where do you start? Unless you're really sure on what you're doing, seek advice from an independent financial adviser.. It will certainly help us to help you if you get a mortgage agreement in principle to enable you to move quickly if need be. If you don't already have a mortgage broker or financial advisor in mind, we can recommend one to you.
paragraph

Step 2 - Register your interest

You should visit estate agents in and around the area you wish to move to. Register your requirements and budget with them and get on their mailing lists. Once you're registered, they should then send out details of relevant properties to you. You can also keep an eye on the local market by browsing the local property press or property portals like Rightmove.
paragraph

Step 3 - Finding the right property

Make yourself comfortable with a glass of your favourite tipple. Think about your ideal property and write a list of the 'Must Haves', the 'Nice to Haves' and most importantly the 'Definitely Don't Wants'. This can help you in deciding on which properties to view and tallying up scores for each of the properties you visit, and more importantly will give you a good list of deal-breakers so nobody's time is wasted viewing unsuitable properties.
paragraph

Step 4 - Making an offer

Once you have found your ideal property you should make an offer to the agent. You must carefully consider how much you can realistically afford. Add up the mortgage offer plus any equity you have in another property. Don't forget to allow for Stamp Duty and Solicitors fees. Once the vendor has accepted your offer you should instruct a solicitor to start the buying process. If you don't already have a conveyancer or solicitor in mind, we can recommend one to you.
paragraph

Step 5 - Offer Agreed

Once you receive an offer acceptance t hen the wheels are put into motion to lead up to the final exchange of contracts (which, from beginning to end, takes between 8 to 12 weeks on average). This is called Conveyancing. We will liaise between your solicitor and the vendor's solicitor, working up and down any chain, to ensure that your purchase goes through as smoothly as possible.
paragraph

Step 6 - Conveyancing

This is the legal term for the transfer of ownership of a property from one party to another. Your solicitor will liaise with the vendor's solicitor while carrying out Land Registry and Local Authority searches to establish the boundaries of the property, any restrictive covenants or potential developments in the area that may affect your enjoyment of your new home.
paragraph

Step 7 - Survey and Mortgage Offer

Unless you are a cash buyer this is the time to formally apply for a mortgage on this property with your financial advisor or lender. Your lender will require a survey for mortgage purposes, but this is merely to establish a valuation. You may also choose to undertake a full structural survey although this is usually advisable on a period property or a property of non-standard construction. Any issues highlighted may either affect the lenders ability to offer a mortgage in its entirety or impose special conditions on the mortgage offer. The survey may also highlight any expensive problems to you before you purchase the property.
paragraph

Step 8 - Exchange of contracts

Up until this point, either party can withdraw from the sale without a penalty or legal repercussions. When your solicitor has received; satisfactory replies to all their searches and enquiries, a copy of a mortgage offer, a signed contract and the deposit has been paid (usually 5-10%), they can then proceed to exchange of contracts. From this point the seller and buyer are legally committed to the deal so if the buyer pulls out for whatever reason they lose their deposit. The sales contract is signed by both you and the vendor and the deposit is transferred or paid by your solicitor to the vendor's solicitor. At that point the date is then set for completion. This can be pretty much straight away (called a Sim - simultaneous exchange and completion) or up to 28 days later depending on your requirements.
paragraph

Step 9 - Completion

Completion is the formal process of transferring the balance of monies due from the vendor's solicitor to the seller's solicitor. This process will be dependent on your circumstances and any other parties involved in the buying chain. Once the monies have been received you can collect the keys and you are the legal owner of your new home.
paragraph

Step 10 - Move in Day

Congratulations! You are now the proud owners of a lovely new home. We will provide you with a welcome pack providing you with everything you need to know, from the location of gas and electricity meters, mains water stopcocks, local authority details, waste collection day etc. Remember to get your mail re-directed and don't forget to tell your bank, your employer, HMRC, DVLA, insurance, council tax, doctor, dentist and any schools that you have changed your address. Agree meter readings, transfer the phone lines and other utilities. Book the removal company, defrost and disconnect your white goods. Tell your friends and organise the party. Don't forget the cat!

Seller Testimonial

Cengiz showed true dedication

"Cengiz at CKB showed true dedication when dealing with my property to sell. I initially contacted them to arrange a viewing on a property whilst already having my home on the market with a competitor agent. After 3 months the agent still hadn't sold my place and I was itching to get a move on. Through Cengiz's constant and informative discussions I gave him a shot and he had my home advertised within 3 days of signing up. As soon as the advert went live on the portals he had an offer agreed within 2 days at above the asking price. At first I believed it was too good to be true and it could potentially be a joke but 3 months later, I'm now in my 'forever home' down in Cornwall and its all thanks to Cengiz and his team." - Mrs F Yucetan
Seller Testimonial

They are truly remarkable and do what they say

"There's a pattern that i see with estate agents these days. They offer you their services selling themselves very well but failing to keep to what they say. CKB they are honestly not like that. They are truly remarkable and do what they say they do. I work with CKB often and every time i do they never fail to impress! Well Done Guys!!"

Seller Testimonial

"To you all, thank you for your hard work and for everything you have done. You have all been fantastic."
Seller Testimonial

Cengiz has gone beyond what most agents would do

"After considering many agents we decided to use CKB after a recommendation, of which we have, definitely not regretted. The service, patience and efforts have been absolutely exceptional. Cengiz has gone beyond what most agents would usually do, extremely efficient in calls and updates and found us a buyer in less than a week of the property being on the market, with other offers and parties interned too. The buyer he found us had already been qualified and confirmed they were in a position to move forward before we even asked. The photography, video features and updates from their own websites, we believe, attracted all the interest in the way it was presented to be able to find the right buyer in such a quick turn around. Each time a call is made to the office, each member of staff has been extremely helpful and professional too. We cannot thank Cengiz and his team enough for all their efforts in making this as stress free and as such a smooth transaction as possible."
