Using Virtual Viewings to sell your home
-
Marketing your property to generate the most buyer interest has always been one of our strengths, but we still look at ways to improve. That's why in 2019 we launched Virtual Viewings. Our Virtual Viewings service is a unique addition which captures all the great features of your home and enables buyers to view the property at a convenient location and time, all while being guided by one of our local experts.
- Captures all the features of your property
- Ultimate convenience, prepare the property only once for first time viewings
- Guided viewing from a local agent, able to identify buyer interest
- Viewings take place at buyer's convenience so you don't need to change your plans
- Enables your home to still be viewed by prospective buyers, even under lockdown.
How we sell property
To make sure you achieve the best price for your home, we offer two main selling methods. Before you decide on the best method of sale for you, we will work closely with you to establish your needs and objectives.
-
Estate Agency
Sell your property the Traditional way
Also known as selling ‘private treaty’, this is the best-known method of sale and is the most popular option in the UK.
- Buyers can view your home by appointment, at times to suit you
- Your home will be matched with suitable buyers as soon as it goes on the market
Sell your Home with an Open House
By opting for the traditional estate agency method, we also offer you the opportunity to market your property with an Open House. This is a great choice for many sellers because:
- Properties only need to be prepared for viewings once!
- Your home benefits from the additional marketing of an Open House event
-
Auction
Selling at auction is simple and fast and can, for the right property, generate a better price than traditional methods – especially if your home requires renovation or is particularly unique. You are also able to sell your property by online auction, receiving all the benefits of a traditional auction; certainty, speed and transparency of the sale, but with the added advantage of a pressure-free extended time for bidding.
Benefits of selling a property at auction include:
- Nationwide promotion of your property, thanks to our extensive marketing network
- An instruction to exchange window as little as four weeks
- All prospective bidders must bid publicly for your property or land
- Exchange of contracts takes place on the day of the auction
