Encouraging week results in 20 sales negotiations
Created: 17/11/2008
Perry Bishop and Chambers is delighted to report a hugely encouraging week, beginning 10 November across all their residential sales offices, resulting in negotiations taking place on some 20 sales transactions.
Ian Perry, director, comments: “We believe the market is becoming more active, with serious, motivated buyers out there and sales are occurring where the seller is realistic about the price of their property. We have seen the recent announcement of the reduction in the interest rate, reflected on the number of viewings we have achieve; hence the number of sales agreed in this one week. We have been encouraged by improved results recently and even in this challenging market, the company has averaged a sale a day since the beginning of September.”
Phillip Bishop, Residential Managing Director and Branch Manager of the Cirencester office believes the company’s simple theory of the four ‘Ps’ is key in this challenging market. Phillip explains: “The main advice we would give potential sellers is remember the four ‘Ps’: Price, Presentation, Promotion and Personality. It is crucial to price your property correctly and at a realistic level in today’s market. Your home is only worth what someone else is prepared to pay for it. We can assist with providing comparable sales to ensure your property is correctly priced. The clever people are realising that this is an ideal time to buy if you are looking to move up market and we can negotiate on your behalf regarding any differential between the price of the property you are selling and the one you want to buy.”
Phillip explains the importance of ‘Personality. “We have dedicated, experienced teams across the company and the directors take an active role in the day-to-day activities.” He continues: “As an experienced agent, we can professionally promote your property and give advice on how to present your home to sell. We offer eye-catching sales particulars, ensure the circulation of your property to buyers, regular updates and an effective website presence. For buyers, we offer a text and email service to keep you informed of all new properties including any price reductions. In addition, we have a network of local offices across the Cotswolds to ensure maximum coverage. Phillip added: “all the properties we sold last week were well priced, well presented and well promoted. We believe we can make the difference in this challenging market.”
Perry Bishop and Chambers historically sells more houses in October and November than the rest of the year and believes in today’s market, the service they can provide across all their branches and doing what they do well, is the key.
