Welcome to MK Estates

paragraph

MK Estates launched in 2013, an independent company ready to embrace change and challenge the traditional estate agency way to improve how our industry works. Our aim is to provide you with a personal and professional, stress-free service for all your residential and commercial property requirements.

As well as being Estate agents by day, we are landlords and home owners so we know only too well what you are looking for when selecting an agent to look after your interests in a property. We've been there, done that. We understand this business, how to sell or let your home, and that each client is different in their requirements, which gives us the edge.

We are not a corporate chain, owned by investors or purely an online agent. We have an office, a carefully selected team, all live locally and we own our business. All of this means we can spend more time focusing on what's important to you.

Whatever the reason for your call to us, our company ethos will help you feel secure with the most important aspects of your move or investment.
paragraph

Our strategic approach and core principles focus on three main areas...

1. Our team... are key to our success. We invest time in training, providing a comfortable working environment, incentives and approachable management teams. For us, our investment in our people is both professional and personal. All of our sales and lettings professionals are trained to provide you with the highest quality of service at all times.

2. We are always keen to support the local area and community... We support local independent businesses (like ours!) with referral trade, especially in our lettings department who will only use local trusted contractors. We support a local charity in their fundraising endeavours. During the year we take part in several organised events, if you would like to be involved let us know. We love where we live, and know the local area so we want to give back when we can.

3. Our business ethics are clear... the moving process is stressful. It requires patience, trust and strong relationships, built on honesty and integrity. Keep the communication open and transparent, we will be there for you when you need us. We are regulated by several professional bodies and abide by their strict codes of conduct.

paragraph

We value all of our tenancies, without them we wouldn't exist. We believe when you rent your home it is exactly that, your home and as such, we work with both yourself and the landlord to ensure you feel comfortable and relaxed so that you can enjoy your time.

The main role of a letting agent is to manage properties for private landlords and ensure that new tenants are available to move into a property as soon as it is ready. Responsibilities range from sourcing tenants and collecting rent, referencing, advertising, conducting viewings to full management of the property including all works needed and repairs undertaken at the property. If the property you rent is managed completely by MK Estates and problems arise we will deal with them quickly and efficiently.

We choose to work with like-minded landlords who provide quality properties and maintain them.
paragraph

Looking for a property

We update our listing's available for let on a daily basis. If you have specific requirements for lettings it would advisable to contact us and register your details, as often the new properties for let are offered to our registered database first. All of our properties are advertised on Rightmove.
paragraph

Cost to consider when moving

All of our properties will require a month's rent in advance and a deposit to be paid. These funds will need to be cleared and paid prior to move in day. The deposit you pay will be protected with a government approved scheme and held there for when you vacate the property.

In addition to these costs, all tenants have to undergo a referencing procedure for which there is a cost. We would advise that you make sure you understand exactly what this cost covers and whether there will be any additional charges, this does vary between agents. The bills are not usually included in the rent unless we advise you otherwise, so you will need to allow for this when setting a rental budget per month.
paragraph

Moving into your new property

If you are successful at referencing stage we will arrange for you to visit the office on the agreed move in day to collect keys and sign all of the tenancy related paperwork. There is a fair amount of paperwork to complete, this is to ensure your interests as a tenant are clear and protected as well as the landlords.

In order to pass the referencing services we will need from you:

* Two forms of Identification - this should be a passport or driving licence and proof of address, such as a utility bill dated within the last three months. One form of ID at least must have a photo, and all ID supplied must be in date.

* Pass a credit check, providing three years' worth of addresses.

* Employment reference - we will require details of your employer, an address and contact details. They will need to confirm your salary and permanent employment.

* Proof of income if self-sufficient, retired or self-employed - including last three months' bank statements, accountant reference or last two years P60 submissions.

* Previous Landlord Reference/ current landlord details/current letting agent - landlord name, address and contact number (if currently renting).

* If you need a guarantor they will also need to provide all of the above.

* We will need to see proof of residency or right to work within the UK.

* You will need to pay a holding deposit, which must be in cleared funds.
paragraph

Legal requirements

Our landlords are well advised by us to their legal obligations as a landlord. We ensure that that we meet all of those obligations when a new tenant moves in. as a general rule of thumb you should always have an EPC, Gas Safety Inspection Certificate, Deposit protection details, a smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector at the property and a tenancy agreement. It is important to ensure when renting that you do so through a reputable agent who is experienced in lettings and correctly regulated.
paragraph

Our services to landlords

Not all landlords employ the services of a letting agent for the entire duration of your tenancy. Often we are only involved in the initial stages and the landlord will manage the property himself. If the property is not managed by the agent, we will ensure that both parties have each other's contact details for reporting issues. You will not be on your own, you are welcome to contact us at any time.

For landlords who have their properties managed, you immediate point of contact will be the team here at MK Estates. We will collect rent and organize works on behalf of the Landlord. Please be aware that we cannot occur costs for a landlord without their permission, so all works carried out will be subject their final approval.
paragraph

Extra services

we offer a concierge service for all of our tenants. The team there will help you make sure you are correctly registered for Council Tax, Electricity and gas suppliers and the water/sewage rates. This is important to ensure you don't have any scary bills further into the tenancy or incur the costs for a previous tenancy which was not you responsibility. In addition we also have an extensive list of electricians, plumbers, cleaners, carpet cleaners, decorators and general handy services which we can call upon.
paragraph

Please take a look at our available properties and let us know if you would like to view. It would be great to meet you and hopefully let you your new home.

Thinking of selling your property??

paragraph

Our team ... are our key to our success

We invest time in training, providing a comfortable working environment, incentives and approachable management teams. For us our investment in our people is both professional and personal. All of our sales and lettings professionals are trained to provide you with the highest quality of service at all times.
paragraph

What should you expect from your estate agent?

You should expect your estate agent to listen, so as to understand the motivation behind why you are moving. In doing so they will be able to offer you the best possible advice specific to you.

Your agent should respond in a timely fashion, provide excellent communication and be positive about your property. Honest feedback is vital and as a straight talking transparent agency, we are here to assist you in the sale of your property.
paragraph

Free Market Appraisals

Our market appraisals are free of charge and with no obligation.

During our visit we will explain the market and changes happening and advice on how to ensure you receive the maximum value.

When suggesting a price to you we use our expertise and sold price data. It's also likely that we have sold property in the area similar to yours.
paragraph

Marketing your property

We advertise on all of the major portals. During your search for a property or whilst you have been researching which agent to use, we are sure you have become familiar with what a listing looks like. At MK estates we use all possible online platforms to promote properties, in addition to our own website which is fully responsive and compatible with smartphones and tablets. Your property will also be featured in our prominent window display.

Every property listed for sale will have a detailed brochure with high quality photographs and a floorplan, which is an invaluable resource for potential buyers to make reference to. We have found that the interest rate is substantially lower in listings without a floorplan, potential buyers like to see the space on offer and the layout of the property before making the decision to view. It's often difficult to portray the layout with just photos
paragraph

Why should you choose us over an online agent?

We understand that some people consider choosing an online agent based on the fee, however some people aren't fully aware of the hidden charges, extras and specific terms and conditions tied in with this, as this isn't shown within their marketing side of things. Their fee is payable whether they sell your property or not. Our fee is only payable upon completion of a sale. You are always welcome to pop into either our local friendly offices for advice or help at any point. Another great difference is that we are local to your home therefore have a great knowledge within your area and if we feel the need to pop round to improve any photos due to nice weather we can.
paragraph

Viewings

All viewings carried out at your property will be accompanied by one of our dedicated sales team. All viewings booked in to see the property will be booked in advance at a time convenient to you.
Detailed feedback from the viewing will be given with 24 hours of the viewing taking place & price related feedback given when necessary.
paragraph

Accepting an offer

Depending on market conditions, pricing strategy and style of marketing plan, you may receive offers one at a time. It is important to not just consider the highest offer but to also consider several other factors:

1. What are heir position?

2. Is the purchaser a cash buyer or mortgaged?

3. Is your buyer genuine?

We will give you as much information as possible to help you make an informed decision.
paragraph

Sales progression

In our experience the sale process becomes stressful when each party involved in the chain is not as efficient. Its our role to keep things moving, and act as a central point of communication for all parties. If you are part of a chain the number of parties involved can increase significantly, more buyers, solicitors, mortgage brokers, surveyors and estate agents all seeking the most desirable outcome for their client. Throughout the sales progression process we will:

· Chase third parties

· Keep in communication with the rest of the chain

· Keep you updated

· Deal with any possible renegotiation needed especially following the results of a survey

· Manage expectations for the sale or assist in completing the chain

paragraph

Beginning your property search

Buying a property is an exciting time for most people but can also be very daunting especially for first time buyers who have never bought a property before.
Each purchase is completely different and buyers need to be aware that not every purchase is as straight forward as others.

This guide has been designed to offer as much guidance as possible and cover some of the most important aspects of buying a property.
paragraph

Do you need help with finance?

In order for you to start looking at properties you will need to find out how much you can borrow from the bank. Your affordability will be based on your income and expenditure. Your financial adviser or bank/lender will also take into consideration your deposit.
Once this has all been finalised you will be given an Agreement in Principle, Mortgage Promise or Decision in Principle. Having this puts you in a stronger position when placing offers on properties that you are interested in.
paragraph

Cost for you to consider when buying

You and the vendor will need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor. We can make several recommendations for local solicitors. They will take care of the legal aspects of the transaction. We strongly recommend that you choose someone local, it can speed the transaction along as you are not relying on the postal service necessarily, and paperwork originals can be dropped to the solicitors directly.

You'll also need to consider other costs such as surveys, mortgage arrangements, land registry, removals and stamp duty. Stamp Duty Land Tax rates from 4 December 2014 have been updated, to assess the amount you will need to pay please have a look at the HMRC SDLT Calculator.
paragraph

What should you do once you've found a property

Now that you have your agreement in principle and considered all other factors you are all set to get yourself out there viewing properties & making offers.
When making offers it needs to be made through the agent you viewed the property with, even if the property is on with multiple agents. Your offer will then be given to the vendor. Once in agreement of price the property will be placed 'under offer' and you will need to instruct solicitors. (At this stage a payment is normally required in order to open the file)

The seller will also instruct a solicitor and draft contracts will be sent over to your solicitor. Your solicitor will guide you from this point, dealing with any enquiries and queries you may have.
paragraph

Leasehold properties

There has been an increase of leasehold properties coming to the market and it is important that the buyers no the ins & outs of what happens when buying a leasehold property.

Often purchasing a flat or a property with a leasehold the conveyancing can take longer than a freehold property. On a leasehold sale there will be many more enquiries to be made and normally there is a delay in obtaining the management pack. The estate agent will chase the solicitors to ensure that this pack is asked for at the early stages of conveyancing.
paragraph

Exchanging & completing

Now that all the hard work and stress is out of the way your solicitor will ask you to transfer your deposit just before exchange. Once funds have cleared the solicitors will ask if you are happy to proceed and contracts will then be exchanged through solicitors.
(Once this has happened you are no longer able to pull out of the sale of the property and if you do you will incur significant charges)

After exchange a date will be set for completion normally a week after the exchange date but can be done earlier as long as everything is ready.

On completion you will then be granted the legal ownership of the property. Keys will be released once confirmation from the solicitor to the estate agent and you will be able to begin moving things into your new home.

Solicitors

Ultimately we are here to point you in the right direction ensuring that you not only receive excellent property advice, but things run smoothly once a sale or purchase go in hand.

Lucy Anken - Senior Lettings Negotiator

Lucy joined the MK Estates team in 2018 new to the sales and lettings industry but has excelled in Lettings and has created over 400 tenancies locally to new tenants since she started with us. If you are out viewing a property to let, it is very likely you will meet her on the appointment. From an initial phone call to book a viewing right through the referencing process and finally moving in, will all be handled by Lucy.

Her favourite part of the job is photographing a new property for let and getting the advert ready to launch. We have a really good camera, which means our pictures are really good at showing the whole room. If you can get the photos on a sunny day they really show off the property in its best light. Some agents don't invest in good quality photos and I think it shows.

Lucy's family are all local and she's grown up in Bournemouth, so she loves the area for personal and family reasons. None of us would want to live anywhere else, we are very lucky to live here.

Testimonials from Sellers

Seller Testimonial

Thank you so much MK Estates

We were so pleased we chose MK Estates to sell our house. We found all the staff so friendly, approachable and happy to help especially Emily, Dania, Kai and Mark who we had most of our dealings with. They kept us updated with every viewing and any offers along the way and after only a week and a half we had the good news from Emily that someone had made us a great offer. Emily seemed just as excited as us about the offer which was really nice to see, as you can really see she has a passion for her work. MK Estates stayed really involved right up until exchange and completion of the house. Our house sale had to go through by a certain date and Mark helped so much along the way finding out information it was difficult to get from the solicitors and helping to push the sale through in time, so a massive thank you to you Mark and a big thank you to Emily and all the staff at MK Estates. We would definitely use you again in the future and would highly recommend you to friends and family. Thank you.

We found with Lyndsey and Mark that they were so easy to talk to and spoke to us in a really friendly/realistic way. I must give a special thank you to Lyndsey.Highly recommend to anyone looking to sell their property.

Testimonials from Buyers

Buyer Testimonial

Thank you Emily & Team!

The moment we met Emily her enthusiasm and passion for her job was apparent. She was so friendly and her bubbly happy personality made us warm to her instantly. We put forward our offer and gratefully it was accepted. Emily gave us the happy news and was then immediately on the case to market and sell our flat. Both Emily and kai worked really hard, always on the end of the phone, and giving us feedback on all the viewings. With a highly competitive market and a few things against in terms of personal circumstances we decided to accept an offer that meant we could get our dream house. I'm sure everyone at Mk estates works exceptionally hard but I was impressed with Emily's commitment and passion for her work and believe she actually cares about her clients. Thank you for everything!! We look forward to having our garden. We wish Emily lots of luck in the future as I feel she will go far in her career and to all the team keep up the good work.

Why go anywhere else?

I can't thank the team at MK Estates enough, particularly Kai and Mark who listened to me over a very long purchase indeed!!..they always chased up on my enquiries and were honest and supportive throughout, keeping me updated at all times. A stressful time helped somewhat by these guys,who I believe through their way of doing business secured me the property..so thank you again!

Amazing job Emily!

I decided to sell my property through MK Estates as they came highly recommended to me. I met Emily who immediately installed me with confidence with her professional approach and can do attitude. Right from the outset Emily kept me up to speed with every viewing and every offer, I never had to chase for information. The cherry on the cake was when she called me 7 days after putting my property on the market to advise me my property has sold for the price i wanted !!Amazing Job Emily !!I will be strongly recomending you and MK Estates to anyone wanting to sell in the future

Overwhelmed by the professionalism

My wife and I recently purchased our house through MK Estates, and we were overwhelmed by the professionalism of Mark and the team, Mark was the driving force in every step of the process, ensuring deadlines were met and that all parties involved were kept informed. Needless to say, if we ever decide to sell and purchase another property, we will be going straight to Mark and the team at MK Estates.
