Northwood Basingstoke helped Mrs O was anxious about selling her lifelong home in Sherbourne St. John. She managed to sell it for 100% of the asking price after being on the market for 10 days & to complete & move to be with her family on her timescale. Find out how below…
Mrs O had a recent change in circumstances meaning she needed to be closer to her family. She was out of touch with the sales process and needed a knowledgeable, friendly estate on hand to guide her through selling her home in Sherbourne St. John.
Knowing she needed to move quickly, Northwood Sherbourne St. John worked efficiently to answer all her niggling doubts and concerns to get the property sold in the right time frame and at a price that was above and beyond Mrs O’s expectations.
Mrs O really needed a friendly, reliable face that she could always trust to be there, to make sure she felt comfortable throughout the whole sales process. Northwood Sherbourne St. John are confident we achieved this on this occasion.
Our aims were as follows:
Our plan meant that Mrs O knew what to expect, & was happy to know that there was a plan in place. As we delivered on our plan, Mrs O was pleased to see progress from the first interested parties to the first viewings to an offer and then to completion.
Mrs O was happy that viewings could be handled by our team and that we could work around her for arranging appointments at suitable times.
Having achieved a great sales price for the property, matching a suitable buyer who fell in love with their dream home, Northwood Sherbourne St John continued to be on hand to guide both sides through the whole process, including liaising with surveyors, solicitors and other parties in the sales chain.
We checked closely with the people that we had received offers from in order to determine their position, their level of deposit & their ability to move in accordance to Mrs O’s timescale.
We suggested to Mrs O that she would be able to achieve a price of £385,000 & to be able to expect an offer within 4 – 6 weeks. We would then work with her, the solicitors & the vendors in order to ensure that the sale completed within 12 weeks.
Within 24 hours of being instructed, we had made contact with a number of our contacts who were interested in purchasing property in order to try to generate some immediate interest & viewings. The aim was to generate interest before the property was listed on the portals.
We conducted a number of viewings for Mrs O, managing the process. After 4 viewings, we generated an offer for the asking price.
The offer was the first part of the process for Mrs O, however, & we wanted to ensure that, now an offer had been made, that it was successfully moved to completion. We took the details of Mrs O’s solicitors & of the buyer’s solicitors & advised them of Mrs O’s timescale. We called Mrs O & the solicitors at least twice per week from this point until completion in order to drive the sale forwards.
Mrs O was pleased with the service that she received. She received value in a number of ways including:
“Having the piece of mind that Beth at Northwood Sherbourne St. John gave me was invaluable. Nothing was too much of an ask, including when I needed help with solicitor paperwork and arranging removals. I genuinely don’t think I could have done this without the support and guidance of the team at Northwood, thank you!”
