    What we do...

    At Hatched, we don't believe in multiple offices. As a landlord, you're paying for all these offices with your 15% fee (or whatever it is!). And what benefit do you actually get from these offices?

    We have one office which covers a much larger area (Hitchin, Letchworth, Baldock, Stevenage, and all surrounding villages) which allows us to still offer a complete lettings service, for the lowest fee around.

    In fact, by letting your property with us, you could potentially make the equivalent of an extra month's rent*, every single year!

    Either Call today on 01462 451263 to find out more about how it all works, visit our offices on Brand Street in Hitchin, or visit the website - hatched.co.uk

    *Hatched.co.uk will make you an extra month's rent, every single year, assuming another agent is charging 13%+VAT of the monthly rent, compared to Hatched's fully managed fee of 6%+VAT

Full Management Service, An Extra Month's Rent*
  • paragraph

    How do we do it?
    image cannot be displayed

    Because we only have one office in Hitchin, covering the whole of North Herts & South Beds, we are able to offer much lower fees than a 'normal' agent. However, we will still provide you with the same service as you would receive from a 'normal' agent.

    Most of our landlords make as much as an extra month's rent every single year!

    To find out more about what we do, our fees and how it all works, get in touch today on 01462 451263, come to our offices in Brand Street, Hitchin, or visit the website - http://www.hatched.co.uk

    *Hatched.co.uk will make you an extra month's rent every year, based on another agent charging you 13%+VAT of the monthly rent.

  • paragraph

    Let Only Service

    We can also offer a service where you will manage the property for the fraction of the cost of a 'normal' agent.

    We will visit the property and advertise your property on RIGHTMOVE.CO.UK, we will undertake all the viewings and once we have found a tenant, we will credit & reference check them and then arrange for the move in.

    All for around half of what 'normal' agent charges*

    Call today on 01462 451263 to find out more about this service.

    *Based on other agents charging 70%+VAT of the first month's rent

    Whether you are a professional landlord, or you are renting out your property to go travelling, you know how important your investment is. And so do we.

    As members of the Property Ombudsman, we promise to offer all our landlords more or less exactly the same service as a 'normal' agent (if not a little better!) and you will also recieve the lowest possible monthly fee from Hatched.co.uk.

    Top Ten Tips for Tenants When Letting a Property
    1. Research various property web sites and see what size property you can get for your money in what areas.
    2. Register on the Rightmove mailing list
    3. Go and see some properties, even if you're not quite sure about it from the outside, it's always worth a look inside.
    4. If you see something you like, find out how much it will cost you up front. Most agents charge an admin fee, a referencing fee, and then, of course, there is the deposit and rent in advance. It's worth asking at this stage, so you know exactly what you are paying right from the start.
    5. When you're happy to go ahead, pay the upfront fee as quickly as possible. Most agents work on a first come first serve basis, so you don't want to miss out.
    6. Give as much information as possible when you fill out the reference forms. The application process will run much more smoothly if you detail everything.
    7. Check your inventory when you move in. It should match up to how you found the property. If you find something that doesn't match up, then note it down ASAP and let the agent or landlord know straight away.
    8. Whilst in the property always ask permission to do things like putting shelves up, painting rooms, etc. Always put in writing what you intend to do, and don't do it until you get written permission from the landlord.
    9. Report all faults, however minor. If you don't, it could affect the amount of deposit you get when you move out.
    10. On moving out, give the property a real good clean and leave it how you found it.

Who Will Be Working For You?
  • Introduction

    It's important to know who is working for you. So, here are some of the people who will help you through the letting process from start to finish.

    The picture adjacent shows us all at wedding of one of the team in 2011. We not just letting agents...

  • Team Member

    James Saunders - Lettings Director

    James is one of the founders of Hatched.co.uk.

    Before Hatched, James worked for one of the largest letting agents in the area, dealing with over 400 landlords and properties, including move-outs & deposits, maintenance and the processing of the rent on a monthly basis. There is nothing he doesn't know about renting a property!

    James continues working within Hatched on a day to day basis and oversees the whole operation.

  • Team Member

    Lisa Earl - Lettings Manager

    Lisa is our lettings manager and is the lady who will, more than likely come out to see your property to take all the photos, measure up and do the floorplan.

    Lisa oversees the marketing of properties and finding the tenants as well as dealing with the paperwork leading up to the tenant moving in.

    (Lisa is currently on maternity leave as of July 2012, which is why we don't have a photo of her! We wish her well and look forward to her return some time in 2013)

    Sian Smith - Lettings Administrator

    Sian is a relative 'newbie' although she has successfully completed Level 3 of NFOPP Technical award in residential letting and property management, so she probably knows more than anyone else in the office (apart from James of course!).

    Sian supports all aspect of lettings, but mainly deals with maintenance issues, safety checks & inspections and returning deposits.

  • Team Member

    Lauren Smart - Lettings Administrator

    Lauren has been with Hatched since the Summer of 2012. Originally starting on the sales department, Lauren expressed a desire to become more 'lettings orientated'. So we moved Lauren from Sales to Lettings in September 2012 and she hasn't looked back!

    Lauren helps with viewings, processing tenancy applications, move-ins and supports all other aspects of dealing with rented properties

About Us
  • paragraph

    As online estate agents we cover the whole of England & Wales and we'll save you thousands of £££'s when you sell your home through us, yet still offer you a complete estate agency service!

    Why is it that you think high street estate agents charge the fees that they charge? Well, one of the main reasons is that they have multiple offices covering small areas, meaning their costs are higher and their potential market is small.

    We Have Regional Consultants & Offices Covering The Whole Of England & Wales, based in Hitchin, Exeter, Manchester, Sheffield & Birmingham, as well as covering Chelmsford, Reading, Brighton, Newcastle, Norwich & Cardiff.

    We have sold thousands of properties across the whole of England & Wales since 2006 and saved customers over £6,000,000 in estate agency fees!
  • paragraph

    What We Do, In Brief

    With over 93% of people having searched the internet for property, it stands to reason that the most obvious place to find your buyer would be on one of the major property portals.

    That's why we'll advertise your property on all the major property websites including Rightmove, and over 150 other local and national websites.

    We will also arrange all viewing appointments and undertake price negotiations on your behalf. And, after we have found you a buyer, we will also handle all the usual paper work right through to completion. We have over 50 years estate agency experience, and as you would expect, we are proud members of the National Association of Estate Agents and members of The Property Ombudsman - so you know you'll enjoy the highest service standards throughout the whole process.

  • paragraph

    So, to get selling and to start saving thousands, get in touch today! Either give us a call on 0800 840 9565 or visit the website, www.hatched.co.uk.

    We look forward to hearing from you.

Selling Through Hatched.co.uk
  • paragraph

    How It Works

    With over 90% of people searching the internet for property, we recognise that there is no longer a need for estate agents to have expensive high street offices in multiple locations, company cars, and newspaper adverts. So we've done away with all of these - and are passing the savings onto you.

  • paragraph

    A Discount Price, But Not A Discount Service

    Our service includes full coverage on ALL of the major websites, including, of course, Rightmove, and over 150 others websites, so you've got just as much chance of selling through us, as you do on the high street - the difference is, it will cost you a fraction of the cost of a traditional estate agent to sell your house through Hatched!

    We have a choice of fee options, meaning the more you pay up front, the less it is on completion.

    We visit your property to measure up and take photos. We arrange all the viewings and gather feedback from the viewer. We negotiate offers on your behalf. We even do all the paperwork and chase the sale through to the end.

  • paragraph

    Our Average Customer Saves £3,800

    Since we started in 2006, we have saved customers over £6,000,000 in estate agency fees.

    And you could be next. Get in touch today and start saving thousands when you sell through Hatched.

  • paragraph

    So...What's The Catch
    We can genuinely say there isn't one.

    The trick is that we charge for the work that we do and we cover the whole of England & Wales.

    When you consider a 'normal' estate agent, they will normally only cover a small area and not go further than a few miles. This means they are limiting the amount of business they can do.

    Secondly, estate agents work solely on the 'No Sale, No Fee' model. And because of this, they have to charge more overall to cover the cost of all the houses that they don't sell!

    "We charge for the work that we do, rather than charge for the work we don't do"

Top Ten Tips For Buyers
  • paragraph

    1. Go and see an independent financial advisor to see how much you can borrow before you do anything else!

    2. Research various property web sites, specifically Rightmove, to see what size property you can get for your money and in what areas.

    3. Make up a tick box of needs & wants in order of importance, for example, the amount of bedrooms, style of property - semi, terrace, flat or detached - do you want a garden, a garage or parking? How many WC's do you want in the property, how many reception rooms? And most important - location, location, location? There are many things to consider.

    4. Register on the Rightmove mailing list - they will alert you to any properties that come on the market that fit in with your criteria from ALL agents, not just one or two. This saves you having to register on lots of agents' mailing lists and getting sent stuff you don't want!

    5. Go and actually view some properties - even if you're not quite sure about it from the outside, or the description - it's always worth a look inside.

    6. If you can't find anything, don't despair, you are not the only one. Most buyers don't find exactly what they are looking for, and it may require some adjustments on your tick box - maybe the bottom few requirements are not as important as you thought. Or perhaps you might just have to be a bit more patient.

    7. If you see something you like, but you think the price is a little too high, MAKE AN OFFER. Most owners are willing to negotiate on their asking price, regardless of the market.

    8. When you make an offer, make sure the estate agent knows your own situation - Are you a first time buyer or in a chain, what are the chain details, what percentage of deposit do you have to put down and how quickly you are likely to be able to exchange contracts? All of this information will be relayed to the vendor and will be a big help in the decision making process. It may just swing it for you.

    9. When you have an offer accepted, make sure the survey (if you are getting one) is done as soon as possible - it shows the vendor and the estate agent that you have spent some money and you are committed to the purchase.

    10. Try not to let the whole process stress you out. Speak to people that have done it before, speak to the agent you are buying through, speak to your solicitor and speak to your mortgage advisor - all of these people are there to help. Sales can take weeks to go through - it probably won't be anyone's fault, it's just the system we run in this country.

    11. And a bonus tip - when you come to sell the property you have purchased in a few years, make sure you sell through hatched.co.uk to benefit from low sales fees and excellent service.

Other Service Hatched Can Help You With
  • service

    Energy Performance Certificates

    A brief guide to EPCs

    With the abolition of HIPs by the government in May 2010, it has made it easier to get your home on the market more quickly without the need to hang around waiting for documentation to be put together.

    There is, however, still a legal obligation for you to provide an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) whilst marketing your property.

    An EPC is produced by a Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA) who will visit your home to assess the energy efficiency of your home. It will take anything from 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of your property.

    Your property will be given a current energy rating and a potential energy rating - much the same as the way in which your kitchen appliances are rated. It is nothing to worry about, and it is highly unlikely that anyone will take this piece of documentation into account when viewing/making an offer on the property.

    However, it is EU legislation and it must be done in order to get your property on the market.

    HatchedEPC can offer you an EPC for just £72.

    Simply visit www.hatchedepc.co.uk, place your order and the guys at HatchedEPC will allocate a DEA to your property who will contact you to arrange the EPC

  • service

    Conveyancing

    When you sell or buy a property it is always strongly recommended that you get someone to do the conveyancing. Conveyancing is the transfer of legal title of property from one person to another.

    At Hatched, we have our very own conveyancing department, offering a 'No Sale, No Fee', extended opening hours and competitive fees.

    To arrange a free quote, give us a call on 0845 678 0908 and we will email one over to you instantly. Alternatively, visit www.hatchedconveyancing.co.uk and get your quote online

    Financial Services

    We can also refer you to an independent financial advisor should you need guidance.

    Simply give us a call on 0845 678 0908 and we will put you in touch with our recommended advisor.

  • Introduction

    Below are some comments from past & present clients who have taken the time to tell us what they think of us. We would like to thank all of our clients for sharing their opinions with us.

Testimonials from Sellers

  • Seller Testimonial

    "Deciding to sell our property with Hatched was a real no-brainer. They market your home better than traditional estate agents, they get it on the right websites so it is seen by most househunters in your area, they are extremely efficient and pleasant to deal with and they cost a fraction of the price of high street agents! Don't kid yourself you are getting a better service with local agents just because they cost more. We would heartily recommend hatched.co.uk and will definitely use them again in the future."
    - Mat & Kate Waugh, London

    "We have had previous bad experiences of estate agents on the high street when buying our house so we were dreading having to use one for selling. We were quoted 1.5% and 1.65% estate agent fees for selling but the 'leading chains' for very little service, which made us look elsewhere for an agent. We came across Hatched and were amazed at the amount of service that was offered for the amount of money. The photos and 360 degree tours meant that our buyers had a very good idea of what they were coming to look at before they stepped through the door. We had an offer within two weeks of placing the house on the market, which we accepted."
    - Claire & Charlie Hayzelden, Yorkshire

    "I was very happy with the service, and thought it was great value for money compared to Haart's who were also marketing it. Once my latest development is finished I hope to market it through you again"
    - Richard Morgan, Essex

    "After trying (unsuccessfully) to sell through a high street agent, we were very impressed with the calibre of prospective purchasers that came to view our house and it was not long before you had matched the right buyer to our property. The service and attention you paid to selling our house was by far superior to that offered by the high street agent and the cost was unbeatable too! We would definitely use Hatched again and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone."
    - Nick & Jo Moffatt, Bedfordshire

    "Just a note to say thank you so much for selling our home. Your service was first rate and very professional at all times - you knock the spots of High Street Estate Agents in service and fees and your website is bril. Many thanks."
    - Gill & Brian Fernley, Cheshire

    "A friend of ours recommended using Hatched as our estate agent and after seeing how much we could save with putting our property online we thought we would give it a go. The staff are all very helpful and within days of the property being online we had viewings arranged and within a week we even had offers. I would definitely recommend Hatched."
    - Alan Bridger, London

    "Just like to say. "unbelievable service" so impressed and cant believe the savings. Will be back in future! thanks so much."
    - Paul McGahan, Hertfordshire

    "We've got a great sale price and saved pots of money in the process - thank you Hatched! From start to finish this has been a thoroughly well-organised sale with Hatched keeping us involved at all times. The hands-on, personal approach was a definite bonus and we have always felt very well looked after by the team. We are confident that we got a good price for our house (which sold very quickly thanks to the web advertising available to Hatched clients) and paid thousands less than we would have done with a busy local agent with little time for those personal touches that make Hatched so wonderful! Web advertising meant that our house was marketed far better than it might have been with the local agents. I only wish you had been around when I sold my last house!"
    - Natalie White, Merseyside

    "We would just like to take this opportunity to thank you for the excellent service that you provided throughout the sale of our property. The initial inspection was extremely quick and efficient and very professional. We were also very pleased with the marketing of our property. The photo's you took were to a high standard and the virtual tour was brilliant. A lot of people commented on it. We could not believe the 8 viewings that were booked in for the 1st week and the 4 full offers made were an outstanding result. We really believe that you enabled us to achieve the maximum value possible and yet your fees are the lowest on the internet by far! (we searched for hours comparing prices). We will definitely be using your service again in the near future and we have recommended you to all our friends and will continue to do so for a long time. We would be more than happy to re-assure anyone visiting your website that you provide a 1st class service and do not charge a premium for the privilege. Thank you again, good luck for the future"
    - Robert Jackson & Jemma Elliott, West Midlands

    "Thanks for selling our flat quickly, efficiently and cheaply though Hatched! We felt looked after and valued, and received a much more thorough service than we could have expected by going through a "high street" agent, without high street fees! Keep up the good work, and all the best for the future!"
    - John & Leigh Bradshaw, Bedfordshire

    "Hatched did a wonderful job of selling our house. When the first buyer pulled out for lack of funds they reacted immediately by contacting others who had viewed the property and quickly found another buyer. They conducted all the negotiations with the new buyer and successfully completed the sale - and all for their original fixed fee! I can highly recommend Hatched to anybody who wants to sell their own house."
    - Richard Godfrey, Surrey

    "Not only were you able to get more for our property than other local agents quoted, it only took 3 people to view it before it sold for our dream price! In total we worked out hatched saved and made us 26,000 pounds, so we've been on the road touring ever since (first stop, Japan, now Oz - not sure where next...)"
    - Peter Roberts, Hertfordshire

    "We would like to express our sincere thanks to the hatched team. With myself being a financial advisor and my partner being a legal secretary we are all to familiar with shoddy, rude, thick estate agents and we both agree (for once) that you guys are exactly what the estate agency market needs. There was no hard sell, you took honest photos of the property which didnt lead to waste of time viewings. You know what your doing and we will be using you again and recommending you to everyone. In addition you beat everyone on cost saving us over £4000 in fees, you absolutely smash the others on service because everytime i contacted you, you knew exactly what was happening and i didnt have to wait ages to be updated. A truly marvelous service thank you so much. We have spent the difference on a new Harley Davidson!"
    - Mark James & Cassie Douglas, Bedfordshire

    "I have to say I am astounded. I always had a very negative view of the estate agency business and found that the last people I used for the first time I sold a property was appalling! A complete rip off an not worth the £2,000 they took from me. This company for me is a breath of fresh air and I would not hesitate to recommend you onwards to anyone of my friends. The pictures where extremely thorough and the speed of service was fantastic. My communications with you have always been prompt and I have been extremely pleased with every aspect of the transaction so far. I was shocked when the offer came so fast but pleased and you have taken away a lot of stress from an already tense situation. If you ever need me to personally recommend you then I would be more than happy - and have already spoken to a few friends who I know are in the market to sell. I will of course be using your services again in the near future. Many thanks"
    - Bonnie Hill, Essex

    "...we couldn´t be more pleased. I know we´ve been lucky to get an acceptable offer so quickly, but the service you have provided has been second to none. We´ve told everyone we´ve come across this week how good it´s been. I think some of the estate agents we´ve spoken to are a bit on the worried side. Anyway, thanks very much and lets hope it all goes through without any hitches..."
    - Cathy Sawyer, Wiltshire

    "The professionalism in which you have dealt with my properties has been impeccable, and belies the cost of your service. By using the Hatched service I have been able to drastically reduce re-let costs, which has improved the returns on my properties, but without sacrafising the service levels provided by high street agents. The way you have marketed my properties has been key to finding the right tenant in an extremely quick period of time, and the on-line vendor feedback service allows me to monitor your progress at any time. I certainly will have no hesitation in recommending your service to friends or business associates and strongly believe that the era of the high street agent could be coming to an end!"
    - Alex Gallagher, Essex.

    "Thanks for making the changes so quickly this morning. I´m loving the quality of service you are offering."

    "I just wanted to drop you an email to say thank you for your very professional service. I was so impressed with the speed in which you carried out the valuation, prepared the details and got them on-line. Your website and link to other key websites is fantastic. It´s great that you can offer top notch details including 360s, loads of photos, and floor plans without the hefty price tag."
    - Sara Maddison, Hertfordshire

    "After unsuccessful attempts to sell our cottage through so called top tier agents, we heard about "hatched". After a visit from one of their courteous and knowledgeable staff we were on all the major sites in days including the excellent virtual tour of the property. We had offers within days, no time wasters and through our own personal diary system on the hatched site, we were always aware of the current situation. All this for a fraction of the fee from a high street agent. One of the most professional operations I have come across."
    - Harvey Lightfoot, Suffolk.

    "I would like you to know how pleased we are with the terrific service we have had. In less than a week you have delivered everything that you said you would. Although we are selling, we are still very proud of our home and you captured it brilliantly within the photos, narrative and the 3D technology and even arranged our first viewing in that timescale as well. I would (and have) recommend you to anyone embarking on selling their house. Your business puts traditional high street estate agencies to shame and there is no doubt that you will do well."
    - Kath Gibbs, Lancashire

    "You are the third Agent we have used in the sale of our property at Greenwich Millennium Village... We had done our own private advertising but were unable to get any advertising on the property websites that people look on so you gave us that opportunity at a very good price"

    "Although you will cost us the least, I feel your service has been superb...The big issues with previous agents was the lack of feedback and returning of calls/email. I have to say that you are (as is James) superb at replying to email and calling back and brilliant at giving feedback"

    "You performed exceptionally in the negotiation process - which wasn´t as straight forward as you´d probably have hoped. I felt like you were working with us and tried your hardest to get the best price for us while not wanting to lose us a very good buyer"

    "One of our previous agents promised to do ´virtual tours´ but never did - just used the photos I took - but you did as you said you would"

    "I have spoken to two local agents who I know well (one being my employer!) in the past day (for Solicitor referrals) and they are shell-shocked over the price you managed to get for us (they originally uoted £290-£299k)"

    "Doing our own viewings suited us perfectly. We love our flat and know more about our property than an agent could remember so both of the people you sent to us learnt a lot about GMV (despite having seen a number of flats here) just from the viewing they had with us"

    "I have recommended you to a couple of my friends and you guys need to get out there some more, people need to know about you!!! All in all we are delighted with the price you have achieved for us and impressed with your service. Thank you for such a great Real Estate experience."

    "We were totally happy with the service and sale we got through Hatched. We got a better price for our property than some of the local agents quoted, and at the same time we saved £3,500.

    "Thanks for all your hard work, you guys really are great to deal with."
    - Sharine & Chris Burns, London

    "I would like to take this opportunity to thank you both for your great work in selling my home. I have been impressed with your service from our initial meeting right through to the sale, you have made the house selling process, which can sometimes be very stressful, a much more easy experience. What impresses most about Hatched is your very approachable and friendly nature. As you are aware I decided to do my own conveyancing and you were very informative and helpful throughout the whole selling experience and always promptly returning my calls and e-mails. Many estate agents out there could learn so much from your company as your customer service is first class. I have recommended Hatched to others and I will continue to do so as you offer a great value for money service which works. I wish you all great success in the future."
    - Riky Ash, Nottinghamshire

    "Just to let you know that we exchanged yesterday. Thanks for a faultless service; you´ve been helpful, friendly and straightforward every step of the way. We´d like to send you a bottle of champagne to join us in our celebrations"
    - David Riley, Oxfordshire

    "Hatched have provided my Wife and myself with a thoroughly excellent service and all for £398. We´ve saved a considerable amount of money, which will be used on more important things like a decent holiday or furniture for our new home. This is opposed to much maligned option of lining the pockets of a local and conventional estate agent. Adam @ Hatched (our primary agent) has been professional, efficient, slick in his service, humorous and patient to boot. I think that the website is excellent and the pictures, 3D walkthrough and feedback facility are all excellent tools. Our road to completion was a long one, but with Hatched on our side, the whole process was made that much more pain-free and easier to manage. I´ve no hesitation in thoroughly recommending them to anyone looking to move. A first class albeit unconventional service which works very well."
    - Kerry & Sarah Burrows, Hertfordshire

    "...thanks for all your help. I found your service very responsive and helped me achieve a quick sale. I was additionally pleased that that the people viewing the property all seemed genuinely interested in considering the purchase."
    - Keith Rutherford, Hertfordshire

    As online estate agents, we can save you thousands when you sell your home, yet still offer you a complete estate agency service! Why is it that you think high street estate agents charge the fees that they charge? Well, one of the main reasons is that they have multiple offices covering small areas, meaning their costs are higher and their potential market is small.
