    History

    Laskowski & Company commenced trading in February 2006. In the intervening years we have earned a reputation for professionalism, finesse, attention to detail, approachability and tenacity which has resulted in many successful property sales, a large number of which had been on the market previously without success.

    An estate agent in the county since 1983, Ludvic Laskowski's stated aim remains, 'To provide the highest levels of professionalism, presentation and service, in a friendly yet purposeful manner, supported by the latest technology and, most importantly, through caring staff with uncompromising standards'.

Selling Advice
  • paragraph

    Appoint the right agent
     

    Do not underestimate the positive influence a good, professional estate agent brings to bear. From the quality of the initial advice to the literacy of their marketing material, conduct during negotiations and progressing of a sale, once agreed. The 'right' agent will work tirelessly on the sellers behalf. Rarely will the lowest fee be anything other than a false economy; equally, those agents charging the highest fees, by virtue of their countywide coverage or international connections, try to cover 'too many stools' and frequently end up 'falling between all of them'. Here at Laskowski & Company, we strive to achieve the myriad qualities 'the right agent' must provide, marketing is designed to reach all local, regional, national and international buyers, and we know full well our reputation stands, or falls, on the strength of our next property sale - possibly yours?

    Set the right price
     

    Over recent years the market has been unpredictable, but a vast amount of property has still sold since the market peak in 2007. Price is, of course, a determining factor when appointing an agent, but many vendors recognise the dangers of appointing the agent who, recommends the highest asking figure. Here at Laskowski & Company, our advice will always be honest, objective, confidential, pragmatic and based on an intimate knowledge of the local market place.

    Presentation is paramount
     

    In today's market, all house sellers, and agents, are having to work harder to attract that one necessary purchaser. Consequently, we are pleased to advise what, if any, work is realistically beneficial prior to a property being offered for sale, and all our marketing material is designed to add credibility to the sale, not to undermine its chances.

Buying Advice
  • paragraph

    Your requirements
     

    We fully appreciate your property purchase, whether a first home, investment or retirement property, is a massive financial and emotional decision, not to be taken lightly, and therefore, we will do our utmost to understand your requirements and help find for you your ideal home in a friendly, efficient and professional manner.

    We relish contact from all prospective purchasers, no matter how early in the process your initial contact may be, and we fully appreciate the critical importance buyers place in our honesty, objectivity, knowledge and professionalism. Always, will we strive to exceed your expectations in these respects and never will we mislead buyers or distort circumstances to their disadvantage. Our aim is to ensure the buyers we deal with 'today', will want to sell through us 'tomorrow'.

    The right support
     

    The professionals you choose to assist you in your purchase will have a profound impact on the progress of the transaction; we can assist you by recommending solicitors, surveyors and mortgage brokers whom we know will provide you with correct advice. We never ask for or receive payment for such recommendations as this can only 'cloud' the advice provided.

    View!
     

    Do, of course, use all the tools at your disposal to amass information about the area and properties you are most interested in. Don't, however, underestimate the critical importance of viewing as many suitable homes as possible as on very many occasions, the property that is 'marginal' on your computer screen, simply feels right on the viewing. Consequently, we will always be pleased to arrange for you to visit any of the potentially suitable properties we are offering for sale. Don't be frightened to compromise, it's inevitable, and don't ignore your own gut instinct, it's rarely wrong.

    Sarah Allen
    Sarah is one of the town's most experienced agents having commenced her career in Falmouth in 1988, after attending Truro County Girls Grammar School. After 17 consecutive years with a local independent, Sarah took a sabbatical to her beloved belle France where she immersed herself in the French lifestyle. A return to estate agency in Falmouth in 2006 led to her running an office in the town, a role she enjoyed until 2013, at which point she joined Laskowski & Company. Among her many fortes, Sarah is the epitome of the true 'people person' and leaves no stone unturned to ensure a successful outcome to even the most complex of transactions.

    Rory Brickell
    Rory is another local; schooling in Truro led to a devotion to squash and at one stage, Rory was county champion. He returned after graduating from the University of Leeds. He still plays squash at a very high level and does provide coaching on a selective basis. His career in estate agency commenced in Truro in 2014, 3 years after which he joined Laskowski & Company. Rory has developed a deep understanding of the complexities of negotiations and provides a level of trust and empathy which all buyers and sellers find immensely reassuring. However, his cool, calm and collected approach in the "hothouse" of the sales office, belies the competitive edge of a former county champion.

      ...they were friendly and professional.
      I was very pleased with the Laskowski team, they were friendly and professional. After it did not sell for 8 weeks with another agency, Laskowski took over and had me under offer within 3 weeks. I have no worries about fully recommending them.

      They did a great job!
      The Laskowski team assisted my Mum in the sale of her home which had its bumps along the way which many will recognise when buying and selling, and that which were beyond the control of my Mum, or Laskowski. As you'd hope for in your agents, they were at all times professional, proactive and efficient. But they were also very supportive, patient, focused and available - they always swiftly rang back or answered emails and positively steered the sale through. Rory and Priscilla were suitably appointed, but the whole team helped my Mum, working collectively in her interests. They did a great job!

      They were incredible.
      We recently sold our apartment and purchased our first house with Laskowski. They were incredible. It was a very stressful time with regards to solicitors and all the hurdles. Rory and the team made every step easier. If it wasn't for Rory and his incredible professionalism, we wouldn't have gotten our home. I highly recommend Laskowski and will use them if we ever decide to move/sell.

    Testimonials from Buyers

      Sarah found us the perfect bungalow...
      We registered with Laskowski as buyers. We had sold our house STC so had to move quickly . Sarah found us the perfect bungalow in an ideal location which had vacant possession so we felt she understood exactly what we had been looking for and at the correct price. Also very friendly and approachable. As a buyer we should definitely recommend them to find you a property.
