Description

 

PLEASE QUOTE PB0661.... This substantial (approximately 2000 square foot), 3 bedroom rural property, sits on approximately 0.9 acres, which includes an orchard. The property enjoys views of the rolling countryside, and is surrounded by farmland, yet there is easy access to the shopping, amenities and services of Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield and Tamworth.

About eXp UK, West Midlands

114 St. Martin's Lane London WC2N 4BE

eXp UK are the newest estate agency business, powering individual agents around the UK to provide a personal service and experience to help get you moved.

Here are the top 7 things you need to know when moving home:

Get your house valued by 3 different agents before you put it on the market

Don't pick the agent that values it the highest, without evidence of other properties sold in the same area

It's always best to put your house on the market before you find a property

The estate agent acts for the seller and is there to get the seller the best price possible

Understand the length of time it can take - 14 weeks from when you accept an offer, or have an offer accepted to move in! A long time!

It can get stressful, but speak to your agent and your solicitor and they will put you in the picture

Be nice to estate agents - we're pretty nice people, offer some great advice and will help to get you moved ;-)
