Thinking of selling?

There are two things that make a property sell.

1. Marketing

Location

The office

We have bright and modern offices right in the town centre in the “estate agents cluster”. Anyone who is taking a shortcut from Morrison’s to Broad Street passes our front door. The Post Office is just down the road, the Old School Surgery is next door and we are the first estate agent people come to as they walk up from the car park. Trawlers, the Bengal Palace and Seaford Health Store are all extremely popular and act as magnets to passing custom.

Particulars

We pride ourselves on the quality of our particulars which are professionally printed on card and include attractive photographs of the property as well as floor plans.

For Sale Boards

Our “for sale” boards in our house colours are soothing to look at, and eye catching too. Our records show us that nearly 35% of our sales start with an enquiry from a board.

Newspaper Advertising

All our properties are advertised regularly in The Leader which is distributed free to nearly every home in the towns along the coast from Seaford to Telscombe Cliffs.

Internet Advertising

All our properties can be found on our own website www.newberryestates.co.uk as well as the U.K's most popular property portal, rightmove.

Viewings

We like to accompany on viewings. In current market conditions it takes about twenty viewings to achieve a sale. Viewers who don’t purchase your property provide us with useful feedback which we pass on to you.

2. The price

It’s not rocket science. The reason so many properties fail to sell is because of estate agents giving ill-researched and inaccurate prices and failing to explain to clients the current state of the market.

Why do estate agents overprice?

If an estate agent doesn’t get your property on their books they certainly won’t sell it. And by offering you the highest price they hope to gain your instructions.

Pricing

Having got your instructions they handcuff you to them for up to 20 weeks. During that time they decide that maybe they got the price wrong and set about persuading you into bringing the price down perhaps to less than the figure we told you in the first place. In the meantime the property has got stale and gone off the boil.

The shorter a property is for sale, the better the price you get for it, especially in the current market.

Before we come on an appraisal we always carefully research the price by looking at other similar properties that we and other estate agents have sold recently and are for sale at the present time. The price we tell you is the price we honestly think you are likely to achieve.
