Considerations when choosing an estate agent:
  • paragraph

    • First impressions count
      The majority of buyers will first encounter your property either online or via contact from an agent. We work with all our sellers to present a property in the best possible way; quality photography, detailed floor plans and great room by room details. We also use all the tools available to us to get your property seen by the most potential buyers.

      We pride ourselves in the quality of our service and marketing materials, nothing will be too much trouble for us; quality presentation is considered in every aspect.

    • We spread the net far and wide
      Having a local network of 7 high street offices all working together across the Midlands, we are able to promote your property to a wide audience.

      Not only will your property be part of our wide marketing network, but we also have an office in London promoting your home to commuters and 2nd homeowners. We are able to give you significant geographical exposure so the biggest audience possible see your property.

    • Quality brochures

      Having a well-presented property brochure is a vital part of our sales strategy. Being able to give potential buyers an impressive and professional document that they can have before or after a viewing, helps to keep the property alive in their minds.

      This is one of the reasons we focus on providing great photography, detailed floor plans, as well as location maps, energy rating graphs and descriptions of key features.

    • Photography that sells

      The importance of great photography when marketing a property should never be underestimated. You have seconds to get someone's attention and a great first image can do just that.

      With the majority of buyers flicking through properties online, your home needs to stand out and the best way it can do that is with great photos.

      Your property will be considered or dismissed in a moment by its representative photographs, regardless of the accompanying description, location or floor plan. Even the most desirable properties on paper can be hindered by poor photographs.

      We work hard to get the right images and we will refresh them to keep interest levels as high as we possibly can.

    • Coverage
      Our property marketing strategy is to always use a mix of tools to promote your home.

      We use all the traditional methods; for sale boards, newspaper advertising and direct mail. And we combine those with online methods such as our website, Rightmove and social media.

      Depending on the property, we might also use magazine, leaflet, poster, radio and event marketing for promotion.

      We believe in approaching each property with fresh eyes and not just opting for what is traditional or standard to market your home.

      Ali, Beth & Carly ... wow what can I say! They were all amazing from start to finish on the purchase of our new home they all went above and beyond to make our dream come true! Nothing was ever too much trouble and we truly felt like they were rooting for us. Ali kept me informed of any updates and was liaising with people up and down the chain to help keep everything on track. We had a few bumps along the way and at times the girls must have felt like therapists having to help us through such a stressful time but we are so grateful! Thank you so much x

      What a great professional team.
      The Staff at Lutterworth branch of Howkins and Harrisons have just been superb. They did so much for us in promoting our property after having two buyers pull out on us at the last minute we cant thank and praise them enough. What a great professional team. We would recommend them to anyone.
    • Seller Testimonial

      Great value for money and would highly recommend.
      Originally opted for an online estate agent to manage the sale of our property - but moved to Howkins & Harrison after realising this was a terrible mistake. Great service and they looked after us throughout. Great value for money and would highly recommend them.

      Having dealt with all the team at the lutterworth branch of howkins and Harrison at what has been a difficult time I can honestly say they are all very professional/friendly and helpful.

    Testimonials from Buyers

    • Buyer Testimonial

      Pleasure to work with!
      Howkins and Harrison Lutterworth branch have been a pleasure to work with! We had a difficult chain towards the end and the team (Ali especially) were always at the end of the phone! We managed to sort everything out between us and I hope we cross paths again! From one grateful Estate Agent to another... Thanks Ali :)
    • Buyer Testimonial

      Went the extra mile.
      We bought our house through Howkins and Harrison Lutterworth branch, mostly dealing with Beth and Alli. Both were very professional and went the extra mile. They also usually knew more than our Solicitors! Thank you both for helping with what was a stressful experience at times, particularly Alli who went above and beyond taking care of our boisterous 5 year old while we measured up the property on our second viewing.
