    Contract
    image cannot be displayed
    There are many things to consider when choosing the right Estate Agent to market your property, but the MOST important factor should be the terms & conditions of their contract. Below are some tips form the consumer advice company "Which" that you should take the time to read.
    It's important to read estate agent contracts thoroughly. Pay particular attention to the following areas and, if necessary, seek to clarify the relevant clauses:
    • If you're not happy with the agent's service, how long does the contract tie you in for? Ideally aim for a six to 12-week break clause.
    • What happens if you're unhappy with the agent's service and want to complain?

    You should be very clear about the arrangement you're entering into, so if you don't understand the contract, don't sign it.
    Legally, your estate agents contract must use clear terms. Your estate agent must pass on all offers promptly in writing, reveal any financial interest they have in offers made on your property, keep records for six years and be a member of one of the two Office of Fair Trading-approved redress schemes . Cut and paste the following link to your address bar to find out more. http://www.which.co.uk/money/mortgages-and-property/guides/how-to-sell-your-house/estate-agents-and-finding-the-best/
    At Lang Town & Country we offer a ZERO week contract that can be terminated at any time by giving us 14 days written notice.

  • paragraph

    Fee's 
    image cannot be displayed
    The first question and probably the most important one that people ask is "What are you fee's?" In the current economic climate you can understand that if you pay less for the same product somewhere else then you are probably going to use the cheaper option. When you choose your Estate Agent you are not buying a product you are paying for a service! You are entrusting the agent with potentially your biggest asset, when you break down the costs between Estate Agents you may save a couple of hundred pounds on the fee but a good Estate Agent will be able to negotiate you a better price for the property potentially gaining you thousands. 
    We charge a percentage of the agreed sales price that we achieve for you. 
    You should always work with an agent who charges a percentage of the sale price of the property because it is in their  interest to get you the best possible price for your property because they will also earn more. When you are selling a property for such a large sum of money £500 or £1000 may not seem allot, but when the time comes to pay your solicitors, removal companies etc. that few hundred pounds extra will make all the difference.

    Presentation is key
    image cannot be displayed
    First impressions are important, so check your kerb appeal, tidy the garden front and back, paint window sills and the front door if needed .. Rooms inside should be kept tidy (even when you're not expecting a viewing. De-clutter - consider putting some of your stuff in storage, tidy and clean, neutralise animal smells, get someone to take the kids and pets out during viewings. Finish Any DIY Projects , but you don't have to spend a fortune. Paint - a lick of paint can transform a room and bring it up to date.Use the space - a double bedroom has more value than a single, and a single bedroom has more value than a study, so show the rooms off to their best advantage to maximise their appeal. House full of family photos? Tone it down - the viewers need to imagine themselves living there, not you.Clean, dust and tidy everywhere, open windows and, yes, put that pot of coffee on.

    Viewings
    image cannot be displayed
    With the years of experience that we have gained within the industry most purchasers tell us that they prefer it when the Estate Agent shows them the property, we feel that the first time someone looks at your property all they want to do is get a feel for it, let them, and let them do it with the agent. When they want to come back for another look it is a that point you should probably be there as they may have some questions to ask you.

    Finding Your New Home
    image cannot be displayed
    As well as looking in estate agents windows, the internet is also an excellent research tool for finding properties. There are now many websites specifically geared for property searches. Most estate agents also have their own websites our web site is www.lang.co.uk . Here are some useful tips to keep in mind when looking for the house of your dreams:
    • View the properties as soon as possible. Leave it too long and you could lose out. 
    • Make good use of your lunch hours or make appointments on the way to and from work.
    • If two of you are buying together, decide who will be the chief viewer, and weed out all but the strongest candidates.
    • Don't be afraid to make numerous visits with tradesmen to find out what you're letting yourself in for.
    • If you're tempted to buy a run-down property to renovate and sell on, check how long it's been on the market. If it's been there a long time, it suggests there isn't a lot of profit to be made.
    • New carpets, bathrooms and kitchens can be signs of a superficial renovation that is hiding more serious work to be done.
    • Visit the property at different times during the day and even at weekends to get a true picture of the area when everyone is home from work. 
    It's human nature to try to strike a deal, but if you find your ideal home and it seems to be priced correctly, consider offering the full asking price. This means you'll be taken seriously, there won't be any time-wasting and it will lessen the possibility of another party stepping in. All offers should be made with the stipulation of taking the property off the market. Getting a 'Sold' board outside is a good way to dissuade others from looking. You might also want to ensure that all internet adverts for the property have been removed or at least advertised as sale agreed, to prevent any further interest. The best way to ensure a chain progresses smoothly is through to completion is good communication. Stay in regular contact with your conveyancer and estate agent to make sure everything possible is being done to speed things along. It can also help to stay flexible. Be prepared to move in with your family or rent as a short-term measure if it means you can keep the chain going.

      A service based on honesty, integrity 
      To Paul, Katie and the rest of the team  
      If the sale agreed signs are a "sign" of success, then you are doing very well. Based on our experience ( which has been slightly more drawn out than the average transaction ) this success is well deserved. The level of service that we have received throughout the process has been as good if not better than we could have hoped for. A service based on honesty, integrity and straight talking is difficult to come by in this industry , but Lang embodies all of these qualities. Thank you for what you have done for us, we really appreciate the service you have provided.

    • Seller Testimonial

      Your staff have all been professional, friendly

      Dear Paul, I wish to write to thank you for your recent assistance with selling my house. Home buying and selling is never easy. It was a very swift sale and I wish to thank you and your team who have helped to make an arduous journey so much easier. Conveyancing can be traumatic, manageable or pleasant. Your staff have all been professional, friendly and clear with instructions and feedback, particularly yourself. Moving house is difficult and for some, like myself not done frequently enough to know what to do. The public are often critical of the professionals who we employ to assist and guide us, but personally I express the utmost gratitude to you and your team. I greatly appreciate it and wish you all well in the future. Thank you! 

      Yours sincerely

      Angela Shaw.

      Honest communication helped to focus all parties
      To Paul , Katie and staff at LangsThank you so much for your perseverance, professionalism and support during the sale of Coleman Drive. Without doubt your vigilance and at times honest communication helped to focus all of the parties and their professional representatives in achieving a common goal. I appreciate the difficulties the housing market is facing and concluding our sale with the first purchaser is a testimony to the focused approach displayed by the Broadway branch. Not only did you achieve the goal, we personaly appreciate the extra support you provided, given that we live 250 mile away.

      you all went further than the extra mile to help

      Dear Paul

      I would like to thank you and your team for all the help you gave me during the sale of my mother's house.

      From the very start when you viewed the house you gave me a valuation of the house and told me exactly what charges would be incurred. There was no under-pricing your competitors or even trying to get me to give you the quotes I had received from them. At Such a sad time the very last thing I needed was to get into a haggling situation.

      The house originally sold ( subject to contract ) very quickly at the price you expected, but due to the buyers having problems with their house purchase etc., which was beyond your control, it was slightly delayed. Unfortunately after this the house became flooded due t a water leak. Living so far away this was, to say the least, very distressing time. Without your help and advise I really can not imagine how I would have managed. You were able to advise me of people who would empty the house and visited the property frequently to let me know the current situation.  At no time did I feel under any pressure to accept your recommendations and was able to discuss any difficulties with you and your staff.

      I really do feel that you all went the extra mile to help, not only in selling the property, but to provide me with so much support and understanding. Your team were always helpful and friendly whenever I phoned ( which was frequently ) and when I visited your office.

      I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone in the west country who wish to sell or purchase property there.

      Please accept my many thanks and I wish you and your team every success in the future.

      Very Best Wishes

      Diana Saunders

      A world of difference from other agents

      Dear Paul

      Many thanks again for all your help and in particular please pass on our thanks to Andy who was exceptional ! After having not such great experiences with one or two other local estate agents we came across Lang & Co in Plymstock. A world of difference from the other agents we had experienced to date, fast, friendly and extremely efficient service from start to finish. They sold our house inside one week where others had 'tried' for months ! We cannot recommend Lang & Co highly enough to any prospective house sellers or buyers. The Plymstock branch that we dealt with are a super super team of people.

      16/11/16

      Dear Andy, Jackie, Sue & the rest of the crew, Mum and I appreciate all the hard work you all put in to achieve a successful sale. It took a while, which was no reflection on yourselves, but we got there in the end. Your weekly phone calls keeping us fully in the picture meant a lot especially to me as it certainly reduced my stress levels when things were not going well. You all went the extra mile for us in returning calls when you said you would is a lost art form these days, but happily not with your branch. The family will not hesitate to recommend your branch. Thank you once again. Helen & Gwen

      Couldn't recommend highly enough

      We recently bought and sold through Lang Town & Country (Plymstock Branch) and the service we received was superb. They sold our flat within a couple of weeks of going on the market and hand held us through the purchase of our new house. We were complete newbies to the process so had lots of questions and needed plenty of reassuring along the way which they dealt with in a patient and professional manner. Special mention to Andy Genge who dealt with everything in a calm and assured way which was crucial to our stress levels during exchange and completion! Couldn't recommend highly enough.

      You are the best

      After a long search we found our dream home though Lang Town & Country. We really appreciated the extra lengths every member of the Plymstock office went too find out answers to our many questions. Nothing was too much trouble. The Photographs & floor plans portrayed an accurate description of our property. I can't believe that some estate agents still promote properties with poor images while others do not even offer simple floor plans!!! Natalie, Paul, Andrew and the rest of the team..... you are the best.

      Thank you all so much Mr & Mrs Younger :-)
