I’m a solo estate agent with a small specialist portfolio. I am happy to help with the sale of any home, but I’m best known for selling canalside properties. In my Facebook group I have over 5000 members, many of whom are seriously looking for a canalside property. The list of properties I sell is deliberately small, so I can give my clients my undivided attention from our first conversation to completion. I am congenitally honest and will always go the extra mile. Unlike your average estate agent, I answer the phone at weekends and in the evenings, and frequently chat to my clients on WhatsApp.

My services begin with a free property consultation and a professional appraisal of the marketing value of your home. I always conduct a thorough survey of local prices and provide you with a printed report and an interactive online report. This goes well beyond the rebranded Rightmove or Zoopla print-out which you may get from other agents. I am always happy to answer your questions and address your concerns, and if required I will give you advice on presenting your property for the best results.

Here’s what you’ll get if you decide to instruct me (it’s a long list!) Ongoing advice from me in person; listing on Rightmove and Zoopla; marketing on the eXp website and on my social media channels; optional Buyer’s Information Packs and Reservation Agreements via Gazeal; consultation with a professional property stylist who will help you to see your property through a buyer’s eyes; professional photography by a qualified photographer; bespoke glossy handout brochures if required; Key Facts for Buyers interactive and pdf brochures; beautiful custom artwork to remember your home by; 360° virtual tours, self guided, or hosted by me on GoToView; drone imagery (subject to CAA restrictions); RICS approved floorplans; professional video; For Sale board(s) erected including a canalside board if required; the history of your house researched if applicable; press releases to local papers and canal magazines (no guarantee of publication); accompanied viewings, open days, and virtual viewings; I manage your sale for you with frequent progress updates.

With eXp, I benefit from belonging to a dynamic and cohesive team of agents across the UK, backed up by strong head office support. I can call on my colleagues for local knowledge, advice, local market information, and sneak peeks of properties which are not on the open market. They are also available to help with viewings and valuations if required.

I like to be fully transparent about my fees. I’m not always the cheapest, but I always aim to earn my commission!

My standard fee for a traditional sale is 1.8% of sale price including vat, with a minimum fee of £3,000 including vat.

The standard fee for selling at auction is 3% of sale price including vat, with a minimum fee of £3,000 including vat. The fee is shared between BidX1 and myself.

Please call me on 07891 718211 if you would like a chat about selling your property, with no obligation.

Auctions are brilliant for sellers looking for a quicker and more secure transaction, or for owners of unique properties which could inspire competitive bidding. My auction partner BidX1 and I work closely together as a team, maintaining a strong relationship with the seller throughout the process. BidX1 offers a transparent, user friendly and secure online platform, suitable for the most inexperienced of buyers. They are ethical and very supportive, with a genuine enthusiasm for working alongside me and my clients. The Canal and River Trust uses the same company, which benefits us all. I recommend BidX1’s auctions over other methods such as the so-called ‘Modern Method’. With BidX1, the seller pays for the preparation of the legal pack in advance of the sale (usually around £450). The seller benefits from my marketing and estate agency services (as listed above), while BidX1’s role is to provide ongoing advice, deal with enquiries, legal pack downloads, and registrations to bid, and manage the auction itself. When the auction is imminent, buyers pay a bidding deposit which is refundable if they do not win. On the day of the auction, buyers bid on BidX1’s online bidding platform. A binding exchange of contracts takes place when the (virtual) hammer falls. The buyer must pay their 10% deposit within 48 hours of making their winning bid, as well as BidX1’s admin fee, usually £1,250 to £2,000 + vat. The purchase typically completes 28 days later. The seller pays their fees from the proceeds of sale (see above).
