RESIDENTIAL SALES AND LETTINGS

At John Brown and Mark Youll we are aware that every client is different and we tailor our services to suit their individual needs. Whether you are looking to sell or let your property, our dedicated experienced team will guide you through the whole process. We offer you a trusted, friendly and professional service, with the highest standard of client care.

We understand the importance of proactively matching our properties against clients who are searching in the local area. This, combined with our innovative marketing strategies and modern approach means that we are able to promote your property on a wide scale.

When you instruct us to sell your property, you will benefit from our full range of marketing tools. From our large shop window with clear and prominent display boards, to our website which is clear and easy to use with simple enquiry forms, colour photographs and floor plans you can be sure that your property will reach the largest market audience possible.

We will also produce a full colour property brochure with professional photography, floor plans and extensive content, use our strong and recognisable sale boards, advertise in local media and use email marketing to send your

property details out to our database of potential clients, as well as promoting your property on all major property portals – Rightmove, Zoopla On The Market.

If you do not currently have a solicitor or surveyor to act on your behalf we can supply you with details of both, that we recommend. We also have an in-house mortgage advisor available to assist with any enquiries you may have.

We have Client Money Protection via Lets Help Property Management Services.

WHAT IS AN ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATE?

As part of current legislation an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is needed whenever a property is built, sold or rented. You must order an EPC for potential buyers and tenants before you market your property to sell or rent.

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) contains information about a property's energy use and typical energy costs, along with recommendations about how to reduce energy use and save money. It contains graphs, as shown in the example below, which give a current and potential energy rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and is valid for 10 years.

If you are selling or letting your house, you must show potential buyers and tenants your Energy Performance Certificate. You can be fined if you do not get an EPC when you need one. Please contact us for further details If you would like us to arrange an Energy Performance Certificate for you.
