Ok we know "Charlie cat" sold slip is a bit of a cheeky, light hearted board, but it did make our sellers in Bulkington smile! Their review today also made us smile....

"After being on the market for four and a half months with another large, well-known estate agent and getting nowhere, Jaine sold our house in just 10 days!
We only wish we had chosen Jaine from the very beginning—it would have saved us four and a half months of stress, frustration, and wasted time.
From day one, Jaine delivered on every promise she made and ensured the entire process was smooth, positive, and completely under control. Her communication, professionalism, and determination to achieve the best result for us were outstanding throughout. We genuinely felt she went above and beyond at every stage to make everything happen.
A special thank you also to Hettie, who was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. She was punctual for every viewing, kept us fully informed, and provided feedback almost immediately after each appointment, which we greatly appreciated.
If you’re looking for an estate agent who truly cares, delivers results, and does exactly what they say they will do, we cannot recommend Jaine and her team highly enough."

Happy weekend!

What a pleasure it was to handle the sale of this beloved family home in Woodlands ! 🏠

Passing the keys onto a young family keen to make this their long term family home as well. 🔑

Smart marketing and pricing resulted in a sale agreed within days for over the asking price and a family more than happy they secured this sought after property. 💥

It was particularly nice to see the sellers meet the buyers and thier little girl which adds a lovely personal touch to any property transaction.

Moving is not just about price and fees.... its also about people and dreams coming true!❤️

Thats the best part about our job as estate agents. 😍

NEWSFLASH!!

The biggest mistake I see sellers make in any market? 🙈

Believing or insisting on a high asking price. (NOT helped by agents trying to win you over with a high price).

It might feel like a good idea at first… but if the strategy is wrong from day one, the property often ends up sitting on the market for months, going stale, chasing price reductions, and ultimately attracting less interest from buyers.

We are in a buyer’s market right now. Buyers are educated, they are watching the portals daily, and they know when a property is overpriced.

The reality is this:

The longer a property sits on the market:
• the fewer enquiries it gets
• the weaker the buyer perception becomes
• the more negotiable it often becomes.
• Buyers start wondering what's wrong with it.

And in many cases, sellers end up achieving LESS than they would have if the property had been launched at the right price with the right marketing strategy from the very beginning.

Pricing is part of the marketing strategy, not the only thing you should focus on.

It’s about positioning a property strategically to create momentum, competition, and the best possible outcome.

We have many properties under offer which started the selling journey choosing another agent based on a lower fee and higher price!!

After a few months, the seller comes back to us.

No hard feelings.... we just want to help you move. 😍. So we refresh your photos, do an interesting video, social media launches, check pricing tactics....

THEN get you SSTC!

So you choose;

A cheap fee with no sale ?

OR

A higher fee, dedicated agent but you actually sell and move home?

May is National Walking Month! 🌿🥾

One of the many reasons people fall in love with North Wiltshire is the incredible countryside right on the doorstep. From peaceful walks around Whitley and Atworth to scenic routes near Seend and Melksham, and of course all around Bath, there’s no shortage of places to explore.

Corsham is especially loved for its beautiful walking spots — from the stunning Bybrook Valley to the picturesque paths leading towards Lacock Abbey. Whether it’s a quick evening stroll, a family walk at the weekend or miles of countryside adventures, the area offers the perfect balance of healthy living and English charm.

It’s easy to see why so many buyers are choosing to call this wonderful part of Wiltshire home. What a beautiful week of weather we have coming up to enjoy it! 💚🌄

Selling your property is like floating down a river.

One minute it's all smooth sailing and the next your in the rapids or, worse, heading over the edge of a weir!

Here at Whitfields Personal Property Experts we provide the floating aids when things get rough.

No leaving it you to sink or swim.... we've got you!

Understanding surveys, electrical reports, solicitor speak, mortgage complications... the list goes on, but we try to be one step ahead.

So, if you want the best help throughout your journey, or your current agent isn't floating your boat then call us on

Don't forget the cafes and pubs. One of my faves has to be The Hiding Place Micropub.

There is so much more to Melksham. And you are welcome to pop in and see us at Shurnhold. Grab a bunch of gorgeous flowers from the wheelbarrow on the road by Shurnhold Flowers.
