So how about you show it off, we’ll do the rest, and you could save lots compared to a typical estate agent fee. And instead of paying an agent to send over a kid in a suit to say “...and this is the kitchen”, why not use your knowledge to save some money?

You need to make sure you secure the best price for your home, but many estate agents will try to sell your property at any price they can – after all, an extra £10,000 for you is worth less than £200 in extra commission to them, so It’s in their interest to encourage you to take the first reasonable offer just to get it sold quickly.
That’s where we're a little different. We prefer to use a fee structure where we’re rewarded for exceeding your expectations – meaning our motivations are completely aligned with yours...and we really do exceed your expectations because we beat the asking price 90% of the time.
Worryingly, some agents motivations are completely mis-aligned with yours, and this is rather naughty - and not strictly legal either. Click on the button below to see an example of the kind of agent that you shouldn't really use.
What an agent shouldn't do
... A local agent promised them an incredible price and said they had buyers lined up, but months later their home is still on the market and whats more, there have been hardly any viewings and now their agent wants to reduce their asking price significantly.
Pricing too high and bunging the property in the local paper doesn't work. Luckily, we have a brilliant marketing strategy that does get great results.
Been on the market too long?...and work with you to write a compelling description that means potential buyers can’t resist getting in touch. And because more than 96% of property searches start on the internet, we place your property in front of 14 million people each month who use Rightmove, Zoopla and other leading property websites.
...check that the buyers are in a position to proceed, and arrange a viewing time with you. Then it’s time for you to work your magic! (And don’t worry – we’ll give you all the guidance you need.)
...we handle all the negotiations to get you the absolute best price possible. Even after an offer’s accepted, 30% of sales fall through before completion. But we’ve got a team of dedicated sales progressors – all experts in all the back-and-forth with solicitors and other agents – to keep even the most complicated chain moving smoothly.
When selling your property there are a few things you can pay attention to that will guarantee you achieve a better sale price. Our guide will tell you:
It's pretty easy to sell a property in a good market at a reasonable price. An open day, a few offers and for little more than a few hours work you can have a sale agreed. But is this likely to be the best sale price you could have achieved? Probably not, and in all likelihood you'll still have a large number of enquirers that have requested a viewing but weren't able to make the time slot offered.
However many agents are not actually focused on getting you the best sale price, instead focussing on getting a price that you'll accept, and moving onto the next sale.
We're so confident we'll sell your property for the best price, we're willing to offer a cast-iron guarantee.

Our unique fee structure means it’s in our interest to totally exceed your expectations: if we don’t get you the asking price you deserve, you’ll pay us less.
Did we mention that we’re better value than the high street – We provide a different class of service, but we know price can be a factor. If you do your own viewings our fees start at an amazing 0.87% plus VAT (1.04% INCL VAT).
Insanely good marketing – Beautiful photos, a floor-plan, a carefully crafted description and a striking “for sale” board come as standard. See a case study of just how good our marketing is.
It really doesn’t matter where you are located as we’re getting fabulous results selling properties all over London, and we can show you how we’ll do the same for you.
There's no point telling you your property is worth a fortune then watching it sit on the market for months. We set a price that gets people through your door - then beat that price most of the time.
30% of accepted offers never get to completion, but we have a dedicated team of sales progressors to make sure solicitors, lenders and other agents pull together to get the deal done.
To get people through your door, you need to grab them while they’re browsing online and force them to take action. We present your home better than anyone – with beautiful photos, floor-plans and a compelling description. And if you really want to stand out we can produce a bespoke high-definition video tour for you.
