Private sale
Selling without going public first
Six weeks of preparation, a written view on value, and a release to the register before anything reaches a portal.
A number, with the evidence attached
Valuation and advice
A written valuation for sale, purchase, probate or planning, delivered in five working days with the comparables in the appendix.
Not every valuation leads to an instruction, and it should not. We are asked for figures for probate, for matrimonial matters, for lending and for owners who simply want to know where they stand.
Every valuation we issue carries the comparable evidence it was built from. A number without its working is an opinion, and opinions are worth less than they cost.
How it runs
Visit
Ninety minutes on site with measurements taken rather than assumed.
Evidence
Comparable sales from our own records and from the public register, with adjustments shown.
Report
A written figure, a range, and the two or three things that would move it. Five working days.
Conversation
An hour, in person or otherwise, to go through what the report actually means.
The other three
Also on the desk
Acquisition
Acting for the buyer, including against us
A retained search across the six markets, with a standing instruction to tell you when the answer is no.
Lettings
Long tenancies, small book
Twelve-month minimum terms, photographic inventories and a managed service that does not subcontract the handover.
