Price was excellent. Would definately use again.”    Beaumont Legal  “Highly recommended, our house purchase went ahead very smoothly. All correspondence was replied to promptly, and we were kept up to date with progress throughout. The only minor fault was that the tracker function on the BL website was not utilised, but overall an excellent service at a very reasonable price.”    Nigel Broadhead Mynard  “I was very happy with the outcome and really appreciative that you managed to get the completion date as quickly after exchange as possible. I thought Nick handled it very well when I thought the whole thing was going wrong so when emotions got the better of me he was still advising against and looking out for our interests which was really good and i am very grateful for. The only two negatives I have is that i think things were put on a back bunner and left till the last minute such as chasing a HIP report and answers on the blog page sometimes seemed very blunt and bordering on rude and often didnt really answer the questions asked, esspecially for first time buyers who are new to the whole process, but these were minor issues. Overall i was very happy with the service, the website is excellent so you can track things and speak to people and the response time is very good. I would certainly recomend you to my friends and family but more communication and explanation along the way would be great. Thanks very much Nick and your team....”    Nigel Broadhead Mynard  “I was very happy with the outcome and really appreciative that you managed to get the completion date as quickly after exchange as possible.

Why use an Estate Agent in reading?


There is a recent trend towards trying to sell your own property. Many new websites now offer services to assist you with this, but at AgentQuote.co.uk, we believe that there would be great value to you in finding a good estate agent in reading to market and sell your property.

Here are some points to consider when deciding whether to find an estate agent in reading to help you market and sell or let your property.

In The Know
A good reading estate agent will already have a shortlist of potential buyers (applicants) on their books, who may immediately want to view your property. This could result in a quick sale.
The Right Price
Of course, everyone wants to sell their reading property for the biggest price possible, but this is not always the best way to achieve a quick sale. A good reading estate agent will be able to guide you towards a price that strikes the right balance between being attractive to both you and any potential reading purchasers.
Well Connected
reading estate agents have many local industry connections. They may be able to recommend a good local solicitor, mortgage broker, insurance broker or financial adviser in reading.
Time
Although you may be confident that you're more than capable of managing the sale of your own property, the truth of the matter is that many of us have precious little spare time. reading applicants will not appreciate having to arrange viewings around your schedule. In all likelihood you will achieve a faster sale if you use a good reading estate agent.

Selling Tips

Clean your windows
If your windows or mirrors are looking grubby, consider mixing some white spirit vinegar with a little water and washing up liquid, popping the mixture in a spray-bottle and giving your windows and mirrors a clean. (use this cleaning tip at your own peril!). The washing liquid will act as a de-greaser and the vinegar will act as an anti-foamer / streaker. Grubby windows or mirrors will create a bad impression on reading property buyers.
Neutralise Nasty Odours
If you're trying to sell your reading property, then perhaps it's time to ask a good friend the question "does my house smell". If you live with unpleasant odours, then you may no longer notice them. Get the blunt opinion of a friend. If there's a problem, don't worry... there are plenty of products on the market to remove nasty smells, rather than cover them up.
Be Realistic About The Market
Like the rest of the UK, the property market in reading is on its knees. You need to be realistic about the value of your reading property if you want a quick sale. This may be difficult, especially if you stretched yourself on your mortgage when your purchased. Consider discussing your situation with your IFA, and your estate agent to agree a realistic market value for your property. Jun 09.
Conveyancing
When you are buying or selling reading property, then one expense that is difficult to avoid is the legal cost. It really isn't a good idea to cut out the solicitor, as conveyancing is a complex process, and there are many pitfalls. The good news is this: There is no good reason to use a local solicitor - and AgentQuote.co.uk can help to find you a quality national solicitor who will do the work for a much cheaper price.

Estate Agency Articles

Buyers Advice
Any estate agent in reading can lay claim to having a large number of potential buyers on their books but you must establish what systems are in place to qualify those buyers as suitable persons to view and proceed to purchase your property.

Many viewers may register a passing interest in your home but a well trained agent can identify those buyers who have a serious and pressing need to move and should therefore be showing serious interest in looking at your property.
When should I instruct a solicitor?
Some reading solicitors offer a "no sale, no fee" service so there is no risk in instructing such solicitors before you have agreed a sale or purchase. In fact, as a seller, it is better to start the process early so that paperwork etc can be prepared in readiness for a sale. As a buyer, you can also instruct a reading "no sale, no fee" solicitor as there is no risk in doing so. In fact, when you make an offer on a property, your position looks stronger if you have a solicitor already in place.
