When you choose an estate agent, you are paying for a service, not a product.

As with anything nowadays, good, great, extraordinary or premium service is slightly more expensive but is far better value overall. After all, how many times have you opted for the cheaper option, only to have to return and buy the quality option?

The old saying goes: buy cheap, buy twice… Estate agents are no different; there are the good, the bad, the ugly and the remarkable.

At Lang Town & Country we’re always striving to stay in that last category and are proud to be one of the most trusted and successful agents in Plymouth.

Our expert team can offer you a free valuation on your home and help you reach a decision that is right for you.

If you proceed with us, you’ll sign a ZERO-week contract. This can be terminated at any time simply by giving us 14 days’ written notice.

We offer this service because we’re confident that if you trust us to sell your property, you will stay with us because you want to stay – not because you have to.

Having the very best photographs of your home is crucial when selling.

That’s why we use professional photographers who capture every angle and detail of your property to make it stand out for potential buyers.

We will use the quality images to market your home physically and online, and will work with you to make sure you’re happy.

First impressions are crucial, so make sure to check your “kerb appeal”.

Buyers will often drive by prior to viewing so making sure you give a great first impression is key.  A nice tidy garden and fresh exterior will entice buyers to want to see more.

Even if you’re not expecting a viewing, rooms inside should be kept tidy. Declutter by putting some of your stuff in storage, cleaning, and neutralising animal smells. We would always recommend leaving our team to do the viewings for you – buyers will naturally spend more time and ask more questions if the owners aren’t there. 

Finish any outstanding DIY projects. You don’t have to spend a fortune, but a lick of paint can often transform a room.

Use your space accordingly. Remember that a double bedroom has more value than a single, and a single bedroom has more value than a study. So, show the rooms off to their best advantage to maximise their appeal. 

Taking small steps now can make a big difference for any potential buyers.

It goes without saying that Lang Town & Country will list your home on the major property portals like Rightmove and Zoopla.

We also utilise Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and Twitter to put your property in front of thousands of potential buyers. It allows us to showcase your home to a larger audience and gain maximum exposure, giving you the best chance of a quick sale.

We even have a ‘VIP’ Facebook group to market your home. Whether people are actively looking to move or just browsing for a new home, this group is designed to give house-hunters the opportunity to view the latest properties BEFORE they officially go on the market.

Here, members enjoy access to exclusive videos, pictures and information on new homes available in Plymouth and the surrounding areas.

Gone are the days where you could only market your home locally to people in Plymouth and the surrounding areas. Now, thanks to our YouTube channel, we can reach house-hunters right across the world on your behalf.

The beauty of our video tours is that they are a true representation of the property and get uploaded to our YouTube channel instantly.

When we visit your home, we will create a walkthrough video. These are perfect for offering people a first look inside.

If someone sees your home and thinks they’ve found ‘the one’, our team is on hand to help them book a viewing.

From our years of industry experience, most potential buyers prefer it when the estate agent personally shows them a property.

We feel that the first time someone looks at your property, all they want to do is get a feel for it. So, let them, and let them do it with the agent.

When they want to come back for another look, it is at that point you may want to be there as they may have some questions to ask you.

If people are unable to attend a viewing in person, don’t worry. We will put the virtual tour of your property on our YouTube channel, so people can watch from the comfort of their own home.

It is important to gain regular, honest comments from potential buyers.

And if your home doesn’t sell right away, this feedback can go a long way to making sure it will. 

We’ll keep you updated on a regular basis, to let you know whether or not potential buyers are serious about your home.

We even have a ‘hot buyers’ list, containing a list of people who we will contact when a suitable property – such as yours – comes to the market.

Sometimes properties can take slightly longer to sell. Don’t worry. We’ll present all our data and look for a solution that best suits you.

That includes feedback from potential buyers, marketing reports and click-through rates, together with information about similar properties which may have sold in the meantime.

We will confirm that the points of pre-launch and launch are being adhered to, update property description and images, and confirm action points going forward.

Receiving a concrete offer on your property is an exciting time, but it is important to remove all emotion from your decision. Remain calm and make sure you get the right offer for YOU, and from the right buyer.

It is normal for a potential buyer to offer less than the advertised asking price. 

We will run through any offer with you and give our advice and guidance, particularly if there are several interested buyers. We will make sure that the buyer has the finances in place to purchase your home and ensure you accept the right offer from the best buyer.

When you decide to accept an offer, you’ll normally see the term ‘subject to contract’.

Any accepted offer is not legally binding until the contracts are exchanged. The buyer will normally have a survey carried out on the property and providing there are no major issues they will then receive their mortgage offer (if required).

In the meantime, the solicitors will carry out all of the legal checks and paperwork and work towards exchange of contracts.  This is the point when you are legally committing to selling/buying.

Selling can feel very daunting but this is usually because people don’t fully understand the process – and why would you if you aren’t doing it every day!  Rest assured, we are here to guide you through this every step of the way.
