Prepare for the ‘Back to School’ Market

24th June 2016

Schools have broken up and we are at the beginning of the Summer holiday season. Many of the houses we sell are family homes and over time we have established that often within many chains we have family buyers and sellers and therefore school holidays can often dictate exchange and completion dates.

Many avoid moving during the school holidays. The holidays are often a time that is used to relax and enjoy, we also know that people use this time to reflect on where they are in life, where they aspire to be and how they can make a plan to get there. We find that many prepare to place their properties on the market in September to catch this market.

As always we are advising our clients on how we can finely tune their marketing campaigns to put them in the best possible position to achieve a sale this Summer/Autumn. We are constantly looking at the marketing and continually turn back to the basics; 1. price, 2. product and 3. presentation. As a SURVEYOR LED FIRM we are able to use the wealth of EXPERTISE to gain the most for your property. With a total of seven valuers and two trainees starting with us shortly, we can send a member of our team who can really specialise in your rural property type. We continue to use the highest quality professional photographs, floor plans and our new style brochure which is beyond that of many agents. We can also offer bespoke card brochures. We know how to make the most of your home and if anyone can get the correct market for your home, we can.

Armitstead Barnett have recently spread their wings into Cumbria. Please do call one of our three offices now and let us provide you with a no obligation market appraisal.
