Viewings

We will undertake to accompany viewings if this is what you'd prefer. Estate Agents commit huge amounts of time and expenditure towards marketing their properties to prospective purchasers, yet the ultimate result of all those website-portal listings and newspaper/magazine advertisements, emails and phone-calls can only be... viewings.

We will discuss with you the best times of the day & week to show your property and do our best to steer appointments around these times. Many considerations need to be made, including your normal weekly patterns, parking availability and traffic levels, children and pets, light levels and garden aspects.

A correct "route" should be established which the initial inspection should adhere to, whether you or Blackhorse are showing. This will give us the opportunity to save the best features of your property until last, to achieve a favourable lasting impression, whilst enabling others in your home to give your viewers the space to take in your property. For this guided tour, it should have been established what needs to be pointed out, and what doesn't.

Space and time should then be provided for your viewer to look again at their own leisure (whilst reiterating the need to protect your own security at all times). Don't loiter continually around the corner but if possible remain within earshot.

Finally, try to say your farewells in your area with most impact, ask only once if they have any questions and answer these truthfully. And don't be tempted to "oversell" the property; it will have spoken for itself and you don't want to sour that favourable last impression with an awkward moment.

A planned and prepared viewing will provide the least disruption to you whilst enhancing the impact your property has on your prospective purchaser.
