How we sell your home.

An Honest Valuation

A successful sale starts with an accurate, realistic asking price. Overpricing can lead to fewer viewings, longer time on the market and unnecessary price reductions.

At Alexander Jacob, we believe in honest valuations backed by real market evidence, not inflated figures designed to win your instruction.

We carefully assess recently sold properties, current market conditions and local buyer demand to recommend a price that gives your home the strongest possible start.

We'll explain our reasoning, share relevant comparable properties and make sure you feel confident in the price we recommend.

Choosing the Right Agent

The right estate agent should offer more than an attractive asking price. They should understand your local market, know how to showcase your property and have a clear strategy for achieving the best possible result.

At Alexander Jacob, we believe trust is earned through honest advice, clear communication and a genuine commitment to our clients.

We won't simply tell you what you want to hear. We'll give you the advice we believe will help you make the right decisions.

Photography & Marketing

Most buyers begin their property search online, which means the way your home is presented can make all the difference.

We combine professional photography, detailed floorplans and thoughtfully written property descriptions to showcase your home's best features and attract the right buyers.

Your property will be promoted across Rightmove, Zoopla and our social media channels, reaching potential buyers both locally and further afield.

No shortcuts. No generic descriptions. Just professional marketing designed to make your property stand out.

Viewings That Make a Difference

We know how important it is to make the right impression, which is why we'll offer practical advice on presenting your home before it goes on the market.

Our experienced team personally conducts viewings, highlighting your property's best features, answering buyers' questions and helping them imagine making it their home.

It's about creating the right experience, building genuine interest and giving every viewing the attention it deserves.

Honest Feedback

Communication is at the heart of everything we do.

Following viewings, we'll keep you informed with genuine feedback, buyer reactions and practical advice where needed.

If something isn't working, we'll tell you. If we think a change could make a difference, we'll explain why.

No vague updates or unnecessary jargon. Just honest conversations and a proactive approach to getting your property sold.

Sales Progression

Finding a buyer is an important milestone, but getting your sale successfully through to completion is where experience and communication really count.

At Alexander Jacob, we stay involved throughout the sales process, liaising with solicitors, buyers and other agents in the chain to keep things moving.

We'll provide regular updates, identify potential delays and work proactively to help your sale progress as smoothly as possible.

From accepting an offer to handing over the keys, we're with you every step of the way.

Questions Worth Asking Any Estate Agent

Choosing the right agent is an important decision. Before instructing anyone, we'd encourage you to ask:

  • How have you arrived at my property's valuation? Ask to see comparable sold properties and the evidence behind the recommended asking price.

  • How will you market my home? Understand where your property will be advertised and how the agent plans to attract the right buyers.

  • Who will conduct my viewings? Find out how viewings are managed and how buyer feedback will be communicated.

  • How will you keep me updated? Clear, regular communication should be a priority throughout the process.

  • What happens once I accept an offer? Ask how the agent manages sales progression and helps keep the chain moving towards completion.

How we sell your home.

Selling your home deserves more than simply putting it on the market. At Alexander Jacob, we combine professional marketing, local expertise and a proactive approach to give your property the attention it deserves and attract the right buyers.

01

First Impressions That Count — We invest in professional photography, detailed floorplans and drone imagery where appropriate, all included as part of our marketing service. Because showcasing your home at its very best can make all the difference.

02

Maximum Exposure. More Opportunities — Your property benefits from extensive online exposure through Rightmove, Zoopla and our growing social media presence. We also create early interest through targeted promotion, helping your home stand out and reach potential buyers locally and beyond.

03

Every Viewing Matters — We offer accompanied viewings six days a week, giving potential buyers the opportunity to experience your home with a knowledgeable member of our team. We follow up on viewings, gather meaningful feedback and keep you informed every step of the way.

04

Connecting Your Home with the Right Buyers — Our extensive database of registered buyers allows us to match your property with people actively searching for a home like yours. We proactively introduce suitable properties to potential buyers, creating opportunities from the moment your home becomes available.

05

No Sale, No Agency Fee — We believe our success should be built on yours. That's why our estate agency selling fee is only payable upon successful completion of your sale. The only potential upfront costs are for the required Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks and an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), where one is needed. We'll always explain these costs clearly from the outset.
