First things first - if you are selling, you will require a market appraisal. We can offer you a free, no obligation factual and accurate appraisal of the current market value of your home. Our experienced Property Consultants will provide you with a valuation based not only on their in-depth knowledge of the local area, but also utilising our extensive database of recent properties sold.
At Park & Bailey we believe in being a comprehensive, all-round service managing your complete move from the point of instruction right through to your moving day. We know moving home can be stressful, but our aim is to alleviate as much of that stress as possible, opening the door to the new chapter of your life as smoothly as possible.
Our complete service includes;
Property Particulars
The first impression buyers have of your home are key, so we ensure every home that we are marketing appears inviting in marketing materials, whether online, our window display or the professional brochure. Before we circulate your property particulars you will have the chance to approve them and input anything you feel necessary.
Staff Familiarisation Visits
Our sales team visit every property we have for sale to discover its selling points, familiarise themselves with the layout and understand your requirements and how we can help. This visit is imperative and allows our team to find the most suitable buyer without wasting anyone’s time. This can only be achieved by having first-hand experience of the home.
Pro-Active Selling
We don’t just list your property on Rightmove and Zoopla and wait for enquiries to come through! Quite often our sales team will have viewings lined up before the property is even online. We build great rapport with, not just you as our vendor, but also priority buyers who are in a favourable position. We understand what they are looking for and when a new property will suit them. Our 5 office network also gives us the benefit of an unrivalled shared database of qualified buyers, with our sales team conducting regular phone outs to generate viewings.
Accompanied Viewings
Viewings should be tailored to each prospective buyer; a positive feature for one person may be a deal breaker for another. With us knowing what our buyers are looking for, a member of the team is definitely best placed to present your home to them in its best light.
Communication & Feedback
We know that communication is central to your move and understand from experience that clients want to be kept fully updated along the way and offered help and advice too. This starts with our four point feedback following viewings. We request initial feedback from every viewer which includes three positive points, something they would wish to change and their thoughts on price. This helps our clients gain an understanding of how the market feels about the property, helping with the decision making process and tailoring of future marketing.
Offers & Negotiations
Any offers that come forward on your property will be handled with the upmost of professionalism and in line with the Guild and Ombudsman’s codes of practice. We conduct full due diligence checks on our buyers at this stage and would not advise acceptance of an offer until we could fully endorse them to you. Not only will we advise you on a buyer’s chain status and means of purchase, but also whether their requirements, such as timeframes, are in line with yours.
Onward Search
Once you have secured a purchaser the next step is to get your onward moved arranged. If you are tying in a simultaneous purchase then this is where we truly do have the cutting edge over our competition. With 5 branches locally and over 800 associated sister companies through the Guild network, we can assist with your search whether it be in the surrounding area or nationwide. Our highly trained negotiators relish saving our vendors money on their onward, conducting negotiations on their behalf and taking the stress and emotion out of the purchasing side too.
Sales Progression
We are one of the only local agents to have a designated and separate Sales Progression department who take care of your needs once a buyer has been found for your property. With a fall through rate well below the industry average the team will help and assist you throughout the legal process, with their knowledge and expertise allowing them to navigate around most problems that may present themselves during the transaction.
Exchange & Completion
Once a completion date is set with exchange of contracts, the Progression Team pass everything back to the main sales team. We will then assist with any final arrangements such as ‘measuring up’ visits for your buyers, and of course key handover.
