Everything I've sold since being self-employed. A longer list than I expected! If you're looking for someone who's been there and done it, and will be there from day one until the end, I'd welcome your call.

MARKET UPDATE - The excellent Bricks and Logic bring their usual monthly report on the state of the market.

Interesting to note the the difference in sales numbers for my part of the world versus the rest of London - if you're in Eltham, Welling, Sidcup or Bexleyheath, there is reason to be a little more positive than most.

On rentals, despite endless legislative changes year on year, rents keep going up. Why? So many landlords exiting, tired of the red tape, and therefore an even greater supply/demand imbalance. Almost 25% of my landlords are making plans to exit, now, or very soon.

FOR SALE - Hook Lane, Welling, DA16.

It's a pleasure to be working alongside another couple looking to move locally. Viewing a property through us to purchase, they were so impressed with the way my colleague Tayler handled their enquiry not only did we agree their purchase, but we became a natural choice as their listing agent.

As mentioned before, most recently listing a FOURTH property for the same family, if you do a good job for people, opportunities will keep presenting themselves.

Lets get you moving!

Isn’t it incredible that despite the market being poor (or so we’re told) we’ve just sold a property within a few days of listing and had a bidding war from 11 interested parties?

Don’t get me wrong, the market is very challenging at the moment its no lie, but it just means you need to be more motivated, more appropriate with pricing, and your marketing must make you stand out from the crowd.

Of course, it helps if you have a great house on a great street, and not everyone can say that, but if you set the right criteria for;

- valuing to achieve a sale and not just to list,
- understanding the difference between marketing price and achieved price,
- present your home in the right manner – with the owners making the effort to do the quick fixes and clean up, and the agent making the effort to do social media, video and professional photos,

then you are best placed to get moved – and surely that’s what anyone wants when putting their property up for sale, right? well, I do sometimes wonder when I see listings sitting there for months, but it really does take all parties pulling the same way – agent and vendor aligned, property presented to its best standard in person, and online, and a price that attracts not scares.
