About Elizabeth Humphreys Homes, Swarland

Casey Lodge Park Road, Swarland, NE65 9JD

Elizabeth Humphreys Homes is something that I have forever wanted to do, it's always been in my heart. We have many years of experience in the housing industry, from new builds, park homes and residential and commercial sales. This means that we have control over the quality of service that we provide and how we want to provide it. We are all about customer service and not penny-pinching, we want the complete freedom to serve our clients in the best way possible. When our clients are selling probably the most expensive item that they will ever own, it is about getting the best price, value for money, and customer service alongside providing the best knowledge and getting the job done right.

We are all about the best of quality, best of knowledge, and providing this in a family-friendly way because the team here at Elizabeth Humphreys Homes is like a family.

We advertise all our listed properties on Rightmove, Zoopla, Prime Location, and On the Market, alongside our website and social media platforms. Marketing is a vital tool when it comes to selling properties, and we are dedicated to reaching as many potential buyers as possible.

Local knowledge and Recommendations for your Buyers

The Elizabeth Humphreys Homes team are your local Estate Agents, we live and work within the areas in which we are selling properties. We share personal knowledge of locations and recommend businesses that we trust and use personally.

360degree Tours

This is a vital part of our Marketing strategy as it allows potential buyers to walk through your property without setting foot in it. This gives them a feel for the property before viewing it in person. Everyone's first viewing of a property is online, therefore tours and photos must be of high quality so that potential buyers do not dismiss your property before viewing it (you will have done this yourself).

Professional Photography, Floorplans, and Drone Imagery

Great photography is a crucial part of the sale process when it comes to selling a property. We take wonderful photos ourselves or you can choose to upgrade your package to use our professional photographer which provides fantastic images of the properties which we sell.

Our floorplans are high quality, which gives highly accurate plans and allows potential buyers to see the layout of the property and envision where their furniture would go.

We offer drone imagery as an additional photography option. This is a great way of showcasing your property and its surroundings. We are happy to show examples of what has been previously produced.

"5 stars doesn't say enough for how good Liz and Ian are. From a house sale which had everything go wrong from start to finish you couldn't ask for a more dedicated team to try get it over the line. The house was listed and looked amazing. The 360 photos I think really gather interest and show the best of your house which nobody else seemed to be doing. The real service you get though is the constant pushing and chasing to get things done outside of the normal 9-5. You won't get this from another estate agent and without a doubt If we'd used anyone else the house sale would have fallen through. We can't thank Liz enough for all of this, but she really is the best around here and we wouldn't use anyone else if we decided to sell again in the near future." Jack Wayman

"We sold two properties with Elizabeth and purchased our new home with her (all at the same time). This was very stressful for us, but Elizabeth was calm and answered any questions we had. She was amazing from start to finish, went above any beyond and managed to achieve what other estate agents had failed at. Even on weekends and evenings Elizabeth was at the end of the phone and working hard to complete the sales and purchase for us. Elizabeth is not a 9-5 estate agent, she is a 9keys in your hand estate agent. I 100% recommend her services." Mr Tate. Registered with The Property Ombudsman.
