So, after all the stress of putting the paperwork together and aligning documents, preparing your home for its next owner, your home is finally on the market for sale, congratulations!

We have visited your property and provided our expert advice on marketing. We covered many of these steps during our meeting with you but just as a recap here are the ten steps to a perfect property sale.

Buying and selling a house can be a very stressful time. This is particularly true when you are in a chain. A chain is where there are a number of different buyers and sellers all buying one property and selling their own.

When it comes to selling your home, you need to make sure that you have the right estate agent. There are many different companies around all competing for your business, so it is important to make sure you are comfortable with who you have representing you. Our tips and tricks will help you pick the perfect agent for you.

Preparing your home for sale. When it comes to moving home, you are probably more focused on what you want from your new house rather than thinking about the sale of your existing property . But it is important to make sure that your old house is shown in its best light to get a quick sale. Here are some tips and tricks that will help you prepare.

You've done the viewing and fallen in love with the property. You've weighed up all of the pros and cons, and after sleeping on it, finally decided to put in an offer. So, you mentally run through the phone call to the agents and how you think it'll go. And then, nervously, you make the call. But, it doesn't go quite as you'd planned. So, how can you make the most of the offering experience to ensure that your offers are taken seriously and, more importantly, get accepted!

As a tenant, you're always acutely aware that the property you live in doesn't actually belong to you. You're told not to hang pictures. Not to redecorate. So, when there are problems with the property, you'll call the landlord and let them know. This is their responsibility to sort out, not yours, as it's their property, right? But what should you be doing yourself as the tenant?

When looking to buy a property, you'll notice that estate agents use various terminology and jargon when listing the marketing price. What do they even mean? And how do these different phrases affect you when you're making offers?

Dreamy summer afternoons spent meandering through fields. Picnics of sandwiches made from freshly baked bread and homemade lemonade, eaten leisurely beside a babbling brook.

Thank you Hockley, collection complete! We have had a busy couple of weeks collecting generous donations of gifts from visitors to our office in Spa Road at Hockley to pass onto Canvey Rotary Club for their project in association with Ford Motor Company to send items to Poland.

Our Hockley branch has become a pop up collection point for the supply of essentials to Ukranians displaced to Poland by the Russian invasion. We are very grateful to our local community for the support.
