Selling your property is a big event - we can help you with all aspects of selling your home

From our Clifton Village office, we cover a broad spectrum of the property market. Distinct from many other firms that concentrate on specific niche markets, we are thoroughly adept at successfully managing all facets of the property landscape. From Redland Semis to City Centre Flats, Harbourside Apartments to Clifton Mews Houses, we relish the opportunity to offer such a wide variety of properties

The Valuation: Accurate & Informed

We go beyond simply looking at “what the house next door sold for.”

We provide a detailed history of asking and Land Registry prices in your area, comparing your property to similar homes. Our deep market awareness ensures we give you an accurate valuation to start your marketing campaign.

The Marketing Campaign

Clever marketing and professional materials are essential for reaching buyers.

• We advertise on major portals like Rightmove & Zoopla.

• Our own website and meticulously-managed database are key sources of enquiries

Preparing to Sell

Whether you’re moving home or disposing of an investment, preparation is crucial.

First impressions count! It takes the average buyer only minutes to make a decision.

Less clutter helps a property sell faster.

Get the Most from Viewings

Put yourself in the buyer’s shoes and enhance your property’s attraction:

• Maximize “kerb appeal” (cut the lawn, store the bins).

• Open the curtains and ensure the home is warm and inviting.

A Hollis Morgan team member will conduct all viewings and provide prompt, detailed feedback after each visit..

Agreeing & Closing the Sale

You’re in safe hands. Our primary role is finding you the most attractive buyer at the best possible price.

• Our highly experienced team advises you on negotiations and carries out the necessary due diligence before introducing a purchaser.

• We specialise in traditional private treaty sales in central and north west Bristol.

Once agreed, our team works tirelessly, liaising with brokers, surveyors, and solicitors to ensure a smooth completion.

This gave him a great grounding in the industry and a feel for the rhythm of market fluctuations and how they affect both buyers and sellers. He joined Hollis Morgan as a sales negotiator in 2012, further broadening his experience and knowledge by dipping his toe into all aspects of the business, including auctions and land sales.
