Looking to move onto something new?

  • paragraph

    Our exceptional sales service has been built on three standards that add real value to the service we provide our clients and sets us apart from the competition:

  • paragraph


    1. Expert Advice

    Our team of agents, many of whom are National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) or Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) qualified, have the local knowledge, industry expertise and broad-based experience in property sales to ensure your sale runs smoothly and the best possible price is achieved. With in-house valuers, planning experts, farm and land managers, and environmental consultants at hand for specialist support and guidance, we offer expert advice that you can rely on.

    2. Bespoke Property Marketing

    We believe that every property deserves great marketing. Professional photography and/or videography are combined with engaging property details and communicated through a bespoke mix of marketing channels which includes industry property portals (Rightmove, OnTheMarket, and selective agricultural portals as appropriate, as well as our own website), social media, PR and print advertising to ensure your property receives exposure to the right audience.

    3. Active Communication

    We operate with integrity and provide honest and proactive communication with our clients throughout the sales process. We also work closely with our team of experienced Sales Progressors who are dedicated to keeping your sale moving throughout the conveyancing process. They will communicate with everyone involved in the chain - including your solicitor, your buyers and their solicitors, surveyors, mortgage advisers and contractors - to drive your sale through to exchange of contracts and completion. We are an estate agent you can trust to get you moving.

    Planning and Development
    image cannot be displayed

    You may be considering how to enhance the value of your home before bringing it to market. This could include extending the living space by adding a loft or garage conversion, by adding a conservatory or by building an annex in the garden. The work will come at a cost, but the rewards can be worth it, opening your property up to a new or wider market. Whilst undertaking such work can be a daunting prospect, simply securing permission can be enough to add value quickly without significant cost.

    Our specialist Planning and Development team can help you determine the feasibility of your development considerations, which projects will give the best return and how much value will be added to your property. Should you decide to move forward with plans to undertake the work, we can support you through the process from advice on which permissions you require, preparing the applications and helping with some of the wider issues which may arise.

    Get in touch with our Planning and Development team at planningdevelopment@gscgrays.co.uk.
