Our commitment to you is to supply prospective purchasers with colour A4 or A3 type brochures at all times, increasing the quality of the literature and the chances of your property standing out from the crowd.

Prospective Purchaser Contact:
As previously mentioned we have a computerised mailing system, we will already have a number of buyers in your price range that would be keen to hear about your home. Our policy is to contact all buyers on a regular basis to keep an up to date record of their requirements and on instruction of a property in their price range they will be contacted on the following basis:-

1) Those with an E mail address will be E mailed.

Viewings:
Viewings will be arranged directly with you and we will endeavour to give as much notice as possible, however there are circumstances when we have a potential buyer in the office who can only view whilst they visit the area and as I am sure you can appreciate we would not wish to lose this opportunity of a sale.

Offers:
It will be our intention to encourage offers whenever possible, this policy will lead to offers that maybe unacceptable to you however does ensure that we have buyers to negotiate with.

All offers that are placed on your property will be fully qualified in the following fashion:

Firstly, should your buyer be in a chain we will contact all links in the chain and clarify the position of each buyer and the timescales in which the chain wish to move.

Secondly, it is imperative that when we secure you a purchaser they are in a position to financially be able to precede therefore our mortgage consultant will qualify your buyer.

Vendor Care:
During both the marketing and the sale of your property it is our aim to keep you fully updated and to this end we will regularly telephone you and write to you with all progress we have made.

During the sale we will liaise closely with all Estate agents and solicitors in the chain and ensure that your sale progresses with as little hassle as possible and that we take the strain for you.

Boards:
On receipt of your instructions to proceed with the marketing of your home and your authority to do so we will organise for a For Sale board to be erected. On receipt of an acceptable offer that proceeds and unless instructed otherwise by yourselves this will be changed to sold subject to contract.

Fees and Terms of Business:
We act under a strict “no sale no fee” basis and our full terms and conditions will be disclosed to you in the way of a formal contract to be signed prior to the commencement of marketing.

Full or Low key marketing?
We have a two tier marketing strategy allowing you to chose and dictate the pace at which your property is marketed and sold.

Option 1 – Full marketing including, board, advert and immediate contact with all prospective purchasers.
