Number 1 was originally a brewery to The Windsor public house next door. It was subsequently converted to a carpet warehouse, two bedroom apartment, artists studio and workshop. It then became film production offices in 2000, housing a very well-respected advertising agency and film company with air conditioned edit suites, social / client areas and cooled server rooms.

About David Baker, Penarth

Industry affiliations:Industry affiliation logo 0Industry affiliation logo 1Industry affiliation logo 2

Love living here as much as we do!

With family links to Penarth dating back to the nineteenth century, when David set up the agency in 1969, he located it in the heart of his much-loved home town.

More than 50 years later, David Baker & Co remains a family business. Still living here, working alongside other local businesses, and championing community causes, our heritage isn't just something we're proud of, it's an asset that helps us sell your home.

We're from Penarth. We live here, work here, and shop here. We walk these streets everyday. We know the secret parks, the handy shortcuts, the hidden gems, the good schools, and the best place for a pint, glass of wine or a coffee. Using this intimate local knowledge to match different streets to different circumstances, we'll find a buyer who loves your home as much as you do.

Tailored To You

Every sale is different, so we market your property accordingly, using a strategic mix of methods to get your property noticed.

Fully Accredited

As members of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS), The Property Ombudsman (TPOS), The Guild of Professional Estate Agents, and Rent Smart Wales, we act with the utmost professionalism and integrity at all times.

No Tie-Ins

And with no contract tie-ins, if you're not happy with any aspect of our service, you're free to go elsewhere.

What We Offer

How do we help you sell your property? A realistic valuation, attention to detail, considered marketing, and plain hard work.

Valuation

We might not give you the highest figure, or the lowest for that matter, but we do give you a valuation based on our honest appraisal of your property and timescales to help you achieve the best possible outcome.

Presenting your property

It's a competitive market and first impressions count. We're here to help showcase your home in the best possible light, and can advise on tried and tested dos and don'ts. When it comes to photography, we use professional grade equipment, considered camera angles, and natural light to accentuate the best features of your property. Cloudy skies on the day of the shoot? We'll come back when it's sunny.

Home guide

Along with quality photos, your property particulars will include all of the details buyers consider essential. We'll conduct a complete survey of the interior and exterior footprint, establish energy performance ratings, council tax banding charges, and add a full assessment in the copy description. Plus we'll make sure any specific history, listing or points for interest are also included.

Floor plans

We always include floor plans, and there's no extra cost. Although 3-D plans are readily available, we stick to a traditional top down view to enhance clarity and avoid confusion.

Marketing

Your property will be listed on all of the main property portals including Rightmove, OnTheMarket, and Zoopla, as well as our own website, and we'll proactively market it to our database of qualified prospects. Your property will also be displayed in our window, promoted on social media, and we'll provide you with one of our distinctive sale boards.

Accompanied viewings

Rest assured, you'll never be expected to conduct your own viewings. One of our agents will always be on hand to show prospective buyers around your home.

Qualification

We'll make every effort to fully qualify the buyer and clarify the chain behind them.

Keen negotiation

We'll work on your behalf at all times, having difficult conversations about money and negotiating hard to reach a compromise that's best for everyone.

Useful contacts

Need a solicitor, mover, architect, plumber or electrician? You name it, we'll know someone local who can help.

Sales progression

Once a sale has been agreed, we'll redirect our energy to reaching a suitable target date for completion. And if the survey flags any problems, we're qualified to give you the best possible advice.

Completion day

Moving day can be stressful. To ensure things run as smoothly as possible, we'll be there to keep you informed every step of the way.
