    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.

Testimonials from Sellers

    Guided us through the whole process!
    "From our first meeting with Catherine and throughout the whole process of selling the house it has been a pleasure dealing with Ben Rose Estate Agents. Kind, considerate, friendly and so helpful to complete novices as we were. They guided us through the whole process and kept us up to date and informed at every stage. Communication was excellent from everyone. It's a tough time currently selling houses, and as we've learned, there's usually a few hoops to jump through or a few twists and turns in the road ahead. We worked through it, they couldn't have been more helpful in getting the issues dealt with and the sale completed with very reasonable fees. All in all we couldn't have asked for anymore. Highly recommended to anyone looking to sell or buy a home."

    The sale went through seamlessly
    "I decided to sell my family home and opted for a smaller independent agent to sell the property. I prepared the house to sell and put it on the market. I sold in just under 5 weeks. The viewing data you receive is interesting as well as telling you what sites your property is being marketed on. The sale went through seamlessly, making what is a very stressful time manageable just. It was the first time I had sold in literally 25 years, but I did it and so can you . So don't delay call Ben Rose today, and who knew Ben Rose is an actual person!"

    "We sold our house through BR Leyland. The first sale dropped off through no fault of the agent yet when we were ready to list the house again this was done swiftly and we accepted an offer within 1-2 weeks. Thank you to Aaron and Megan for arranging the viewings and keeping me up to speed. Shout out to Catherine for putting up with me venting and calming me down! We've already recommended the team to our friends."

    The service was nothing short of exceptional
    When I first chose Ben Rose, I was drawn to their extensive coverage in the area, expecting the 'standard' agency experience. Catherine, the local branch manager, came out to appraise the house, and while the process started smoothly-with a fair and competitive valuation based on comparables-things weren't perfect initially. The photographer came quickly, and the photos looked fantastic. The first few weeks brought some challenges, and I started to question if I'd made the right choice. But that's where Catherine and her team truly turned things around. Catherine personally stepped in, visiting the house to have an open, honest conversation about how we could better align our expectations. I cannot overstate how much I appreciated her transparency and proactive approach. In addition, Catherine, after speaking to 'the' Ben, agreed to release us early from the exclusivity agreement and 'take on' the competition. From that moment on, the service was nothing short of exceptional. The team kept me updated at every step, going above and beyond to ensure I felt informed and supported. Within just a few weeks, we accepted an offer, but the incredible service didn't stop there. Catherine has been instrumental in coordinating solicitors, keeping everyone on track with aggressive timelines, and making what could have been a stressful process feel manageable. Her team deserves a special mention too-they've been professional, engaging, and always ready to help. Looking back, I realize that having clear, aligned expectations is crucial as no two agencies are the same in reality. But if the Ben Rose team commits to helping you, they will stop at nothing to deliver. I went from having doubts to being absolutely thrilled with their service, and I can't recommend them highly enough.

    Can't fault them at all!
    "Can't fault them at all! Ben Rose were the agents for the property I was purchasing and they did everything they could to assist, move the process along, and were a great point of contact throughout the whole process. When things with the solicitors seemed to slow a little, they were right on the case doing what they could to ensure things progressed. All of their communication was clear and polite, and their service was pretty great; never having to chase or wait long for a response to anything. Great experience with them overall!"
