Before choosing an agent, try negotiating their fee. If they immediately knock hundreds off their own value, ask yourself: how are they going to negotiate the best price for my home if they can't negotiate their own value?

Also ask: “How are you personally incentivised to actually sell my home?”

Some agents are rewarded for winning the instruction rather than getting the house sold. That can encourage the wrong behaviours: cheap fee, flattering valuation, win the instruction… then deal with the consequences three, four or five months later.

Don't choose an estate agent purely on what they charge. Look at what they do, how they negotiate and what they're likely to leave you with at the end.

Thinking of selling in Ellesmere Port? Let's have an honest conversation about your move and the strategy that will actually get you sold.

🚨 SELLING YOUR HOME? ASK THIS BEFORE YOU SIGN ANYTHING.

You wouldn’t go on a first date and agree to stay together for 5 months regardless of how badly it goes…

So why do it with your estate agent? 😂

Before signing, ask:

“What’s your tie-in period?”

If it’s longer than 4 weeks, ask:

“Why?”

If you’re confident in your price, your marketing and your service, why do you need a lengthy contract to stop me leaving?

Then ask:

• What happens if I’m unhappy with the service?
• Can I withdraw my property?
• How much notice do I need to give?
• Are there exit fees?
• Could I still owe you a fee after I leave?

GET THE ANSWERS IN WRITING.

And if you hear:

“The tie-in shows your commitment to us…”

Ask:

“What guarantees YOUR commitment to ME?”

You’re already trusting them with the sale of probably your biggest asset. I’d say that shows quite a bit of commitment! 😂

And remember:

4 weeks doesn’t mean your house MUST be sold.

But it’s plenty of time to see whether your agent is actually working for you.

Are they communicating?
Following up buyers?
Getting proper feedback?
Adapting the marketing?

If they’re doing their job well, you’ll WANT to stay, not because you’re forced to by a contract, but because they’ve earned your business.

So when choosing an estate agent, don’t just ask:

“What’s your fee?”

Ask:

“What’s my tie-in… and WHY?”

Thinking of selling?

Invite me round for a proper conversation. I want to understand your move, your timescales, your family and what actually matters to YOU so I can then build the strategy around it.

Your home. Your move. Your choice of agent.

Should YOU be at home when buyers view your house?

My advice is to leave the viewing to your estate agent if you can. It’s what you’re paying us for after all.

A good estate agent shouldn’t just open the door, point at the kitchen and tell them where the boiler is. We should be helping buyers visualise themselves living there, reading their body language, picking up on what they like and don’t like and getting a gut feeling for how they really feel about the house.

Remember, the buyer isn’t really coming to view YOUR house. They’re coming to see if it could become THEIR next home.

Buying a home is probably 80% emotional and 20% logical, so give them the space to imagine themselves living there without feeling like you’re watching their every move.

I’m also a big believer in getting feedback on the day of the viewing, while the property is still fresh in the buyer’s mind. That’s when you’re more likely to find out what they genuinely thought, what might be holding them back and whether there’s an opportunity to move things forward.

Let your estate agent do the viewing, then do what a good agent should do… follow the buyer up.

Just remember, it’s an estimate, not an accurate valuation.

An online tool can’t see your new kitchen, the condition of your home, the size of your garden or all the little things that make your home different.

Every home is unique.

If you’re thinking of selling and want a more accurate marketing price, I’ll come out, take a proper look and talk you through where I believe we should position your home to attract the right buyers and get the best possible result.

Your house does NOT need 37 photographs. Here's one thing you can do:

Go through your listing and remove any photo that adds no new information. If two images show essentially the same thing, keep the stronger one.

Every image should earn its place.

The estate agent who values your house the highest might actually be the worst one to choose.

Here's one thing you can do: Ask every agent who values your home: 'Show me three genuinely comparable properties that have actually SOLD and support that figure.'

Look at sold evidence, not just asking prices.

After 5 years in estate agency, I’m officially launching Tesh Patel Estate Agent, powered by eXp.

Talk to me.

My approach is simple:
Personal service. Incredible marketing. Proper communication. Strong negotiation. Honest advice.
If I think your price is wrong — I’ll tell you.

Sometimes the best advice isn’t what you want to hear. It’s what you need to hear.

📉 UK Base Rate Cut – What Home Buyers & Sellers Need to Know

The Bank of England has cut the base rate to 3.75%.
Here’s what that actually means if you’re moving home.

If you’re a BUYER 👇

Pros • Mortgage rates should continue to ease
• Monthly payments on tracker/variable deals may reduce
• Confidence improves — more lenders competing again

Cons • As confidence returns, competition increases
• Waiting “for rates to drop more” can mean paying more for the house instead
• The best homes will attract multiple buyers again

Reality:
Rate cuts don’t crash prices — they usually bring buyers back.

If you’re a SELLER 👇

Pros • More buyers able to afford your home
• Improved sentiment = more viewings
• Better chance of strong, clean offers

Cons • Buyers are still cautious — overpricing will kill momentum
• Pricing it wrong early still costs you thousands
• Condition, presentation and marketing matter more than ever

Reality:
This isn’t a boom market — it’s a confidence market.
Homes priced and marketed properly will move. Others will stall.

The bit most people miss 👇

The first rate cuts are when the smartest buyers and sellers act.
Once headlines turn fully positive, you’re late to the party.

If you’re thinking of buying, selling, or just want honest advice (not Rightmove optimism), message me and I’ll talk you through it properly.
