    In the past 12 months, we have sold more houses in Chorley than any other agent with an average sale time of just 59 days achieving over 98% of the asking price. Currently, over 50% of all our properties on the market are under offer!

    Why Choose Us?

    Independent, family run and local

    We are an independent family run estate agent. We have a good mix of family and employees which means we believe there is a totally different atmosphere in the office and you get a totally different level of service to any other agent. So much so that we are multi award winning including the prestigious best impendent estate agent award for Lancashire awarded by Build Magazine.

    Professional photography as standard

    We think your photographs are the most important part of the presentation of your property on the market. We don't take photos on iPhone's, we have in house photographers whose job it is to make your property look its best.

    To scale floorplans as standard

    Every property receives a professional floorplan as standard. Most other agents either charge you extra for these or don't bother doing them and even when they do, they are just not to scale boxes with room names in. All of ours are to scale and contain fitted kitchen, bathroom suites, doors, windows and bits of furniture. Floorplans are the best way to try and understand the flow of the property and we say we try to make these like having a viewing without having a viewing. All our floorplans also contain the total square footage which people now use to compare one property to another.

    Rightmove premium listing

    For every instruction, A Rightmove premium listing is standard to make your property stand out (up to £250 with other agents). When you do a search on Rightmove and a list of properties comes up (this is called the summery view) dependent on what device you are using you will usually see one or two photographs of the property whereas premium listings have up to 4, are bold, over 50% bigger and average 20% more property views.

    Even more as standard

    Internet marketing across 28 internet portals including Rightmove, Zoopla and Prime Location. So, yes, Rightmove is the market leader but we get a quarter of all our leads from Zoopla, but yet one in five of all properties for sale in Chorley aren't on Zoopla. Other things as standard include accompanied viewings, For sale board, Open days, and our stylish amazing A3 HD brochure.

    A higher level of service

    We are consistently selling more houses in Chorley than any other agent. What this means for you is a bigger list of applicants for us to match your property to. We don't just sit back and wait for people to ring us through Rightmove. 60% of all our buyers in the past 12 months were contacted about the property they purchased rather than them contacting us.

    We make you more Money!

    Yes, an agents fee is a lot of money, but not in comparison to the price of a house and not if you consider how much money you could lose by choosing the wrong agent. The average negotiation from an asking price to a sold price is over 5% whereas our is just over 2% saving you 3% of your property price. So, how do we do this? With us you get the personal touch of your own dedicated negotiator who will know you and will know your property inside out. This negotiator can then help you find and negotiate you onwards purchase price if its a property with us or with someone else meaning not only do we get you the best possible price for the house you us but also you next home too.

      Great communication and professionalism throughout
      "Megan Marsden has been an absolute credit to the team at Ben Rose. She was covering for the Bamber Bridge office and has done nothing but impress. Great communication and professionalism throughout! From the moment she was in the office we were able to secure an offer on our property which then resulted in us being able to offer on the property we were visiting the day after. We are now at the hands of solicitors, however the experience with Megan has been great from start to finish. Thanks to Kayleigh and Jess too for helping to organise initial viewings at the property."

      We've no hesitation in recommending Ben Rose
      Team Ben Rose have been excellent in helping to sell my Dad's bungalow. From an initial no fuss web enquiry; to an honest appraisal and survey; a great sales brochure that helped garner four offers in the first week; to a team who managed the sales process efficiently, professionally and kept in contact throughout as and when necessary. We've no hesitation in recommending Ben Rose - a team who know the market and who know how to work with their clients. And who helped close the sale in less time than we originally expected.
