Kept informed of progress every step of the way

I moved into a home with Andrew Cowens a few weeks ago and had a couple of "teething problems" as it was the first time they had dealt with this property. I was most impressed with the speed with which things were sorted and how I was kept informed of progress every step of the way.

Selling your property? We can help, here's how...

paragraph

NO UPFRONT FEES - BUSY, TOWN CENTRE LOCATION.
paragraph

Arrange a FREE valuation - NO SALE, NO FEE

What is my property worth? That is the first and most crucial question to ask and this is where we come in. We can provide you with a precise property valuation and an effective marketing package.

Duncan, Katie and Hollie form our Sales Team and all have in depth, local property knowledge. We will discuss everything with you at the property. Taking into account the area, local amenities, proximity of schools and public transport links and (of course) the beaches, they will provide realistic figures that our sales team will strive to achieve for you.

When they come back to the office our sales team will send you a letter (or e-mail) outlining what you have discussed with them and the office will follow that up with a friendly phone call a couple of days later.

Simply call into our town centre office, call us on 01723 377707 or email one of our team (see our meet the team page) and we can arrange a suitable appointment for you.
paragraph

Time to market the property.Where will you see it?

Marketing the property is the most important thing. Potential buyers need to see it in order to arrange viewings and we feel we have an effective marketing process in place. The marketing techniques we utilise are:

FOR SALE BOARDS - this is an effective, eye-catching marketing tool that everyone in the area can see. We find the properties which have boards have more interest and viewings than ones that don't.

RIGHTMOVE, - the original and best We have a close relationship with the portal and utilise it to ensure that the property listings are the best they can be. With frequent training, imagery circulation and keeping up with all the latest updates and changes, we make sure to know each portal inside out.

SOCIAL MEDIA - it's the future! No matter who you talk to, you can't get away from social media, so we are embracing it and using it to the fullest. You will see your properties on Facebook which also enables us to 'chat' with someone who sees the post and has a question instead of waiting for an e-mail reply, we can respond almost immediately.

IN THE OFFICE - We use traditional eye-catching wall displays, modern style paper brochures and good old-fashioned mail by post, as well as direct e-mail and text notifications of new and reduced properties. We have a large database and make sure the purchasers' criteria is as specific as possible so we can perfectly match the property to the potential purchaser.
paragraph

Here come the viewings ....

We know that viewings have to go well in order for a 2nd viewing to be arranged and an offer to be put forward - this is why we work closely with you.
From the advise sheet at the initial valuation, through to carrying out the viewings, you are informed and contacted every step of the way and we like to work with you. The 3 options we have for viewings are:

AGENT VIEWINGS - our lovely Linda (or if she is on holiday another friendly member of the team) can conduct the viewings and answer any questions the viewer has.

ACCOMPANIED VIEWINGS - lets work together. We will accompany you whilst the viewer is at the property and this way you can be involved in the initial viewing and we can both provide the viewer with facts and information about the property and area.

UNACCOMPANIED VIEWINGS - we can leave you to it. The office will arrange the viewing directly with you for you to carry out at a time that is suitable for you and the viewer.

After every viewing we do our best to gain feedback from the viewer which we then pass on to you so you know how each and every viewing goes.
paragraph

Here come the offers...

We are now at the stage where we have offers coming in from happy viewers. Our wonderful sales team will negotiate with the potential purchaser to make sure that the best price is agreed upon.
If you need a local solicitor we can provide you with contact details of a number of solicitors who we work closely with. The sales team will obtain weekly updates from both solicitors and help in any way they can to make sure the sale progression moves at a steady pace through to completion.

Buying a property? We can help, here's how...

paragraph

Buying a property is probably the biggest financial decision you will ever make and we are here to help you through the process.
paragraph

First things First - Finance

Before you begin viewing properties you need to know how much you can spend, we would suggest that you look to arranging your finances. We would hate for you to fall in love with a property only to find it is over your budget.

If you need a mortgage, check with your local bank or building society or even better talk to a financial advisor. We would be very happy to put you in touch with someone who can provide you with independent financial advice, on a confidential basis, without commitment who we have a great relationship with and who has given advise to a number of recent purchasers. If you are a cash buyer, with funds in the bank, check if you need to give notice before your money is withdrawn.
paragraph

The Fun Part - Time to arrange the Viewings

Now that you have your finance in place it is time to start viewing properties, this really is the fun part as it allows you to find out the kind of property you really do like, and rule out the properties that you don't. You may come to the buyers market thinking that you want a 2 bedroom town house, but in fact you fall in love with a 3 bedroom 1st floor flat with sea views, this is the exciting part and it is a great idea to view as many different style properties as possible.

It is easier if you have a good idea of what you are looking for but if you don't, don't panic, come in to the office and have a chat with us. We will be able to listen to you and advise on the properties that we think match your requirements, we are here to help. If you like the look of anything that we show you, let us know, and we will arrange a viewing to suit you.

On the first viewing it is very difficult to remain objective, especially if you fall in love with the property. We would always advise a second, longer viewing to look around with more critical eye and a (mental or written) list of questions to ask Linda. If you forget to ask a question during the viewing, don't panic, just contact the sales team and they will be able to answer the question, they really are a lovely, friendly team.
paragraph

The Scary Part - Time to make an offer

You have found the property you want, it is in your price range, you love the area and everyone is happy - woohoo.

Now What?

This is the point you would put in an offer. This can be a daunting prospect, particularly if you are a first time buyer or haven't moved for a while. Just remember, Estate Agents don't bite! We are here to help. You can put forward an offer in any way you feel comfortable, e-mail, letter, telephone call or in person. We will ask you a few questions and happily put forward your offer.

We will contact you as soon as we have a response from the owner of the property and if any negotiation is needed, we are here to help and give advice in order to secure your purchase.
paragraph

Great news - Your offer has been accepted

Now your offer has been accepted we can help and guide you through the buying process. If you haven't yet chosen a solicitor we can recommend one and provide you with contact numbers for local solicitors who we have a great relationship with and who we work closely with.

If you would like an independent survey of the property we can give you the contact information of local surveyors who we work with regularly. Also if you need any quotes for remedial works, we can put you in touch with various tradesman who can provide reasonable quotes quickly.

Remember we are here to help in any way we can, and we really don't bite!
