Who are Fishneedwater?

Focus on making a difference

Getting properties sold or let isn’t about adverts in the local paper anymore – it’s all about effective marketing, realistic pricing, taking a tough stance when negotiating, and getting the deal through to completion by being utterly proactive.

Help you do your own viewings

People don’t realise just how good they are at selling their own home, but when you think about it, it’s obvious: sellers have impeccable knowledge of their area, and their enthusiasm for their property will be far greater than an estate agent’s.

Focus on effective pricing and tough negotiating

If a property’s priced too high, you won’t get any viewings. So we do things differently from most estate agents: we price realistically.

It gets people through the door – at which point they can start falling in love with your house. And from there, we can start negotiating hard and end up exceeding the price you wanted in the first place.

Push hard to for a swift completion

30% of agreed sales fall through before completion – which is heartbreaking for sellers, and can cause major complications if you’re part of a chain.

So we qualify potential buyers before they even step through your door. Then once they’ve made an offer, we have a dedicated team of sales-progressors who do nothing except keep chivvying all parties into moving things along smoothly at the right pace.

We rely on repeat custom and word-of-mouth...

...So we have to be good. Essentially, Fish Need Water is just our attempt to build an agency we can be proud of – a business built on trust, honesty, repeat custom and word-of-mouth. We don’t lie to win new business: we promise a realistic result, and guarantee it.
