WE DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY

paragraph

EMBLEYS DELIVERS SO MUCH MORE THAN ANYONE WOULD DARE TO EXPECT FROM THIS INDUSTRY. IF A CLIENT SAYS 'THAT'LL DO', WE'VE FAILED... THEY ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO SAY, 'THAT'S PERFECT'.

Julie Nelson - Managing Director

WE OFTEN GET ASKED WHAT'S THE SECRET OF OUR SUCCESS?

The answer: We never overpromise, we never oversell, we just go over and above to give our customers the best possible experience.

Many that come to us are repeat customers, and in our industry that speaks volumes about our caring and considered approach. But being nice to our customers doesn't mean we're a soft touch when it comes to selling a property. In fact our team have built a fantastic reputation for achieving great sale prices, and in a faster timeframe than expected.

LETTING A HOME WITH EMBLEYS

paragraph

Renting a home with Embleys isn't like renting a home with any other estate agent. We pride ourselves on our incredibly high levels of customer service from the moment you walk through our door; to the moment you put the keys in your new front door - and during the entire time you're there.

For landlords looking to let through Embleys we're equally focused on your needs. We match your properties with the perfect tenants and ensure they're both cared for properly throughout.

So whether you're searching for a well maintained home with a reliable and accessible point of contact, or need someone to oversee your property and ensure it's well looked after, you can trust Embleys to be on hand and responsive. Should any problems ever arise, we'll resolve them. Put simply, we're on your side. Please see below a brief overview of the letting and renting process;
paragraph

Landlords Guide To Letting a Property
paragraph

1. Arrange a property rental valuation

Once you've made an appointment, we'll come and chat to you about whether you'd like our managed service (this includes handling tenancy fees, carrying out an inventory, quarterly property inspections, managing repairs etc) or tenant find service (where we find you someone to rent your property to). Having carried out a full inspection of the property, we'll also advise on the recommended marketing figure and our fees.
paragraph

2. List your property let

This is where we take the full details and photos that will be used to market your rental property. Once it's online we start to arrange viewings, discuss any conditions and take a holding deposit where there's an interested party.
paragraph

3. Reference checks

We then make sure the relevant reference checks are carried out - these include employment and affordability checks, character checks, credit checks and previous tenancy checks.
paragraph

4. Moving in date

Once the reference checks have come back clear, we liaise with you and the tenant to agree a suitable move in day. At this stage we recommend a full inventory is carried out to ensure the property is maintained to the same standard it was left, especially if we're not managing the rental for you. Where we are managing your rental, we'll have prepared your inventory in advance, ready to send to the tenant for their signed approval on moving in day.
paragraph

5. Completion statement

You will receive a completion statement prior to move in day. This will include a breakdown of costs and what will be due to you on the day of occupancy. If Tenant Find only this will be your first month's rent minus the fee due to us for finding you a tenant, the tenant will transfer you the damage deposit direct. For the fully managed service this will be with our agreed fees deducted, we will handle the damage deposit for you and place it in a government backed holding scheme.
paragraph

6. Move in day

For those using our tenant find service we ask you to drop two sets of keys into Embleys and we will sign three tenancy agreements (a copy for you, one for the tenant and one for us) on your behalf and then issue you with your copy once fully signed by all parties. If you don't meet the tenant, it's always nice to give them a courtesy call to introduce yourself and welcome them to their new home.
paragraph

7. Move in day

For those using our managed service, you have the added peace of mind of knowing we are regularly checking your property against the inventory, are holding the tenant's damage deposit securely in a government-backed deposit protection scheme and that we have ensured the CP12 certificate (gas safety report), tenancy agreement and keys have been handed to the tenant. Furthermore, throughout the entire tenancy we'll sort maintenance issues, rental payments and property inspections - we're here to ensure everything runs smoothly so you don't have to worry.

Tenants Guide to Renting a Property with Embleys

paragraph

1. Consider your requirements

Think about where you'd like to live and what amenities you need nearby - are schools and public transport important? Start your search and view any matching rental properties.
paragraph

2. Get your finance sorted

Up front you usually need one month's rent and a damage deposit (the equivalent of one month's rent). You'll also need a holding deposit, which is deducted off your first month's rent if agreed by yourself, once your references are approved. Please see Tenancy Information for further information on prohibited payments.
paragraph

3. Make an offer

If you are interested in taking a property on, make an offer along with any conditions you require i.e. length of tenancy, if you have pets, how quickly you can take occupancy etc. Once one has been accepted we'll lead negotiations until an agreement is reached. Once the landlord has accepted your offer we will require for you to complete our application form and for the holding deposit (equivalent to one weeks rent) to be provided to us. Once received this will secure the property and take it off the rental market while the references take place
paragraph

4. Provide details for reference checks

We send off for reference checks for you where our referencing company will contact you direct with a form to complete. Once these checks have been approved we will get back in touch to discuss a move in day with you and the landlord.
paragraph

5. Completion statement

You will receive the completion statement prior to your move in date, which will include the breakdown of costs payable on or before move in day.
paragraph

6. Move in day

When you come into the branch to collect your keys, you'll be asked to sign three tenancy agreements (one for the landlord, Embleys and one for you). You'll also be provided with a copy of the CP12 certificate (gas safety report), the EPC certificate and if managed you will have been sent a full inventory for you to check over and return within 7 days.
paragraph

Exciting

the rental is official and the property is yours!

SELLING A HOME WITH EMBLEYS

paragraph

Selling a home with Embleys isn't like selling a home with other estate agents. We pride ourselves on our incredibly high levels of customer service from the moment you list your property; to the day you move out.

It's vital to us that you enjoy a stress-free, smooth process, and that's why we provide you with a dedicated account manager to take care of everything from valuation to under offer. Following that you'll be assigned a sales progression manager to provide you with weekly progress updates until completion. It's their role to keep the communication flowing between all parties - buyers, surveyors, solicitors and any other estate agents in the chain. Should any problems arise in a chain, your sales progression manager will also help resolve them. Put simply, we're on your side. Please see below a brief overview of the selling process;
paragraph

1. Arrange a property valuation with embleys

The team will explain how our approach makes the selling process as stress-free as possible. You'll learn about our extra services such as accompanied viewings, and we'll explain the breakdown of fees. Rest assured, we'll fully manage the whole process from instruction to completion.
paragraph

2. Get your property listed

The sooner your property is on our books the sooner we can promote it and contact potential buyers from our database. We'll also advertise the property on third party portals , feature it on this site, in email marketing and in the local press.
paragraph

3. Arrange viewings with interested buyers

Before any viewing we highly recommend that the property is clean, tidy and free from clutter, so prepare to break out the Marigolds! We provide feedback on every viewing and will keep you posted on progress along the way.
paragraph

4. Offers received

Any offers that you receive will be forwarded to you for consideration from your dedicated Embleys negotiator, along with any details concerning the buyer's position. For example, knowing if they're a first-time buyer, a cash buyer, or part of a chain can make a big difference in the choice you make . Unlike other agents, your dedicated Embleys negotiator is also the valuer, which means they have a full understanding of your property.
paragraph

5. Offer accepted - time to instruct a solicitor

If you don't have one in mind, we can suggest a local solicitor. The ones we work with are very proactive and offer excellent customer service. Before making your selection, ask them for a quote on their fees, stamp duty and searches. Once chosen, pass the solicitor's details to us.
paragraph

6. Also looking to buy? It's time to act

If you're looking to buy a property, now is the perfect time to step up your search - see our buying guide for more information. And don't forget, Embleys can help you find the perfect property within the NE25-NE30 postcodes
paragraph

7. Draft contracts

It's starting to get exciting now. Your solicitor will issue draft contracts to the buyer's solicitors, and will begin the legal process of selling your home. With weekly updates we'll keep you in the loop at all times.
paragraph

8. Survey time

Your buyer's mortgage company will be in touch about accessing your property to conduct their survey. The level of access to your home will depend on what type of survey the buyer has opted for - some are in-depth, others not so.
paragraph

9. Acting on the survey

Once the survey report has been received by the buyers, they may request further reports from contractors regarding potential issues, such as damp or need for roofing specialists. This all depends on what has been highlighted in the report, but we will guide you through any matters that arise.
paragraph

10. Contact from your solicitor

Your solicitor should be in touch around this stage of proceedings to highlight the results of local searches and any enquiries raised by the purchaser's solicitors. As with every other stage of the selling process, your dedicated sale progression manager will be happy assist you with any questions you may have.
paragraph

11. Completion in site

Once all enquires have been answered, yourself and the buyer can consider suitable dates for completion. Once agreed, both sets of solicitors will be in contact regarding the paperwork that needs to be signed.
paragraph

12. The next stage is the exchange

This is the legal term which means contracts have been exchanged and both parties are legally bound to the sale/purchase. A completion date will now be set, which means it's a good time to book the removal men and start packing!
paragraph

13. Completion day

Your solicitor will advise you when the monies are received from your buyer's solicitors. As soon as you hear that great news, the property is now 'sold'. Your solicitor will then instruct us to release the keys to the buyer, and we'll have a bottle of chilled bubbly waiting for you to celebrate with!

BUYING A HOME WITH EMBLEYS

paragraph

Buying a home with Embleys isn't like buying a home with any other estate agent. We pride ourselves on our incredibly high levels of customer service from the moment you walk through our door; to the moment you put the keys in your new front door.

It's vital to us that you enjoy a stress-free, smooth process, and that's why we provide you with a dedicated sales progression manager, which also means a single point of contact. You'll receive weekly updates on the progress, and a high level of communication with all parties - vendors, surveyors, solicitors and any other estate agents in the chain. Should any problems arise in a chain, we'll also help resolve them. Put simply, we're on your side. Please see below a brief overview of the buying process;
paragraph

1. Secure a mortgage

If you need a mortgage, contact a financial advisor or bank to arrange and request a 'Mortgage in Principal'. This is proof of how much the bank will lend you and is required when you make an offer on a property. We have an in-house independent financial advisor who can assist and help ensure the process moves forward as smoothly as possible.
paragraph

2. Consider your requirements

Think about the area you'd like to live in, the price range, type and condition of a property, catchment for schools, parking, number of bedrooms, public transport if needed, and whether you want a garden.
paragraph

3. Start your search

If looking within the NE25-NE30 postcodes, search our site for the best properties! Looking out of area? Check leading Internet sites such as Rightmove or On The Market, and register with local estate agents. If registering with Embleys, please remember to provide lots of details about your buying requirements so we can match your desires accurately.
paragraph

4. View any matched properties

Before arranging a viewing ask yourself a simple question - does the property match my criteria? If not, is it really worth viewing? If yes, then go prepared with a list of possible questions to ask vendors or agents.
paragraph

5. Arrange second viewing

The property has grabbed your attention and given you butterflies; that's a great sign. Now's the time to address any queries or concerns you may have. Tip: arrange the second viewing at a different time of the day from the first time viewing.
paragraph

6. Put offer forward to agent

Provide as much detail regarding your position as possible i.e. 1st time buyer, cash buyer, whether you are also selling, therefore in a chain. You'll also need to forward a copy of your Mortgage in Principal.
paragraph

7. If offer accepted, instruct a solicitor

If none are recommended to you, we can suggest a local solicitor. The ones we work with are very proactive and offer excellent customer service. Before making your selection, ask them for a quote on their fees, stamp duty and searches. Once chosen, pass the solicitor's details to the estate agent selling the property.
paragraph

8. Contact your financial adviser

You'll need to provide them with your solicitor's details and the property details.
paragraph

9. Exchange and completion

With your mortgage in place, the paperwork signed by you and the seller, and the survey passed, your solicitors can now exchange paperwork. Prior to completion, you'll have to sign the final documents and arrange fee payment to your solicitor. Great news - the property is now yours!
