Sold, exchanged and completed in 29 days.

Agreeing a sale is one thing. Getting it through to completion is another.

We recently agreed a sale where our vendor needed to complete in little over a month. From putting the property under offer to exchange and completion took just 29 days.

That doesn’t happen by accident. Good sales progression means staying close to the transaction, communicating regularly with buyers and sellers, working effectively with solicitors on both sides and identifying potential delays before they become problems.

Not every transaction can move this quickly, of course, but we believe an estate agent’s role shouldn’t stop when the board changes to SOLD.
Agreeing the sale is only half the job. Getting it over the line matters too.

Another successful introduction from our database. This beautiful Sherborne home was recently matched with a buyer without ever reaching the open market.

Thinking of selling but not quite ready for a full launch? An off-market approach can be an excellent way to test the market discreetly.
