    Our Services

    Whether you are an experienced landlord with a large portfolio or looking to take your first steps into the buy to let market, or maybe you've inherited a property and have no idea what to do with it, we are here to make life easier for you every step of the way.

    With so much legislation in an ever changing market, using an agent that has it's finger on the pulse is crucial. We take the legal side of lettings very seriously and work with you to ensure that you meet your responsibilities as a landlord and more importantly maintain compliance throughout. Protecting not only your tenants but you too.

    We offer the three main services of Full Management, Rent Collection and Tenant Introduction. However, we understand these may not fit your needs completely, so we are more than happy to discuss a bespoke service to suit.

    We believe in offering our customer complete transparency, so that you know exactly what you are getting and for how much.

    We may not be the cheapest and certainly not the most expensive, we do, however, give a first class, value for money service. The saying 'you get what you pay for' is very relevant in this business and you must ask yourself if you can afford to take shortcuts.

    We believe in offering a choice to meet the individual needs and expectations of our customers and are more than happy to discuss a bespoke service to suit.

    However, we do find that the following services are mostly used and have therefore provided an overview of some of their key features:-

  • Introduction

    A few words from Managing Director, Laura Page

    Not another agent I hear you say! True, Canterbury is full of agents, all different shapes and sizes, all promising to do pretty much the same thing. From the small independents to high street chains, from franchises to large corporates. How do you choose the right one for you?

    When I talk property to people my best advice is always to go with the person you feel comfortable with, who you connect with, can relate to and have a good instinct about because you are giving this person the responsibility of what is probably your biggest asset.

    Someone once asked me what our USP is and I simply said 'our staff'

    It takes more than bells and whistles to sell or let a property. It takes passion, commitment, honesty, trust, great service and someone who you are confident will go that extra mile for you.

    We prefer to speak with you, understand your individual needs and expectations. Whether you are a landlord, seller, student, tenant or buyer, we will treat you with the same courtesy, respect. Listen, advise and above all meet your expectations.

    With over 20 years of local knowledge, industry experience and unrivalled passion for property, we will not fail to deliver. Quite simply if we say we will do something, we will do it.

    Thank you for your interest and we look forward to hearing from you

      Choosing the Right Agent
      image cannot be displayed
      This can be a minefield with so many different types of agents to choose from, all with very different marketing avenues and techniques to offer. Our advice is to go with an agent you can pop in and talk to face to face. One who will market your property on the biggest property portals and one where you will feel listened to and valued. We know how stressful the process can be at times and we pride ourselves on ensuring it goes as smoothly as possible, proactively managing any issues that crop up along the way and keeping tabs on the conveyancing to nip any issues in the bud for you. At Page & Co we do not believe in penalising you for choosing to list your property with other agents, we will charge the same fee regardless because we know we will work the hardest and smartest and always in your best interests.

      The Market Appraisal
      image cannot be displayed
      From the outset, we will conduct an honest and realistic market appraisal with you at the property and will bring with us a selection of comparable properties that have recently been sold or that are currently on the market. We hope that this will give you some understanding of the market conditions and the valuation we give you. We will discuss your reasons for selling and what your expectations are in terms of timeframes and selling price.
    • paragraph

      Marketing
      image cannot be displayed
      We market all our properties on the biggest property portals, Rightmove and Zoopla as well as various social media outlets. Your property will also be displayed in our conveniently and centrally located branch which has plenty of footfall. One of our eye catching For Sale boards will also be erected attracting buyers who are browsing the neighbourhood. We don't just rely on marketing, we have our very own database of hot buyers, who have been suitably qualified by us and who we keep in regular contact with, proactively encouraging viewings and thinking outside the box.

      Our marketing photographs are creatively taken. We don't just point and click. We take care and time to take the best shots that will project the best impression of your property. We can also arrange for a more professional, upmarket brochure of your property to really boost it's attractiveness.

      We will carry out a Matterport Virtual Tour of your home which will  allow us to capture your space using 3D laser technology, building a tour that gives people a full walkthrough of your property. It is believed that properties with virtual tours receive 50% more views!

      We are able to check your property's online performance and do so regularly to ensure that it is getting noticed and through to the right target audience. If for some reason the popularity dips then we are ready with techniques to boost it back up again.

    Guide to Buying
    • paragraph

      Our Top Tips
      image cannot be displayed
      • Check your credit scores and give them a boost if necessary
      • See a mortgage advisor and get your mortgage 'agreed in principle' so you are ready to proceed with an offer and have an edge over other buyers.
      • Location, Location, Location! Check out the neighbourhood
      • Consider your budget and the costs involved in buying, ie conveyancing, stamp duty, surveys etc
      • Choose the right survey - consider the property you are buying. Do you need a basic Homebuyer's Survey or a more detailed Full Structural Survey?
      • Viewing know how - we recommend viewing the property at least twice and at different times of the day. Take your time, 20-30 minutes should be plenty of time to get the feel of a place
      • If you are moving from a property you own, then secure a buyer first. This will make you a much more attractive prospect when putting in an offer on your new place
      • Be smart when choosing conveyancing services. Ask around for recommendations and if you are using a solicitor, make sure they have good experience and knowledge in conveyancing. You ideally need someone who has a reputation of moving things along quickly, efficiently and is on the ball. We will be happy to recommend someone, just ask us
      • Don't offer too low and risk offending the seller or being gazumped by someone else
      • Consider the seller's circumstances - do they fit in with yours? Maybe they don't need to move for 6 months and you've just sold your house. Are you prepared to move into rented accommodation in the meantime?
      • Keep the lines of communication open throughout the buying process and don't disappear on holiday without first informing your agent and solicitor. Good communication will lead to a much smoother process
      • Ask as many questions as you need to. You are making a big commitment and no matter how silly you think your question is it's better to know the full facts and be comfortable with what's happening
