Colour presentation and the desire to be the first choice in every area we operate separates us from the majority of Estate Agents. Twenty one years later we have six local branches covering North Hampshire and West Surrey with directors still on the shop floor delivering our ethos to our customers.

What agent could do to change your mind?
Not high but you are paying just to have a buyer introduced rather than them expediting the sale.

I don't think the 1.25% fee can be justified, there didn't seem to be great deal of effort put into the process, not to our satisfaction anyway. Compared to what the conveyancer's and solicitors will get, the agent will get a disproportional fee,

What agent could do to change your mind?
‚£3500+ to sell a house is extortionate. But all high street agents are the same. If you are willing to do the viewings yourself, sell online.!
