How selling works here.
A valuation with comparables, photography and floor plans included, accompanied viewings, and a call every week — even when there is nothing to report.
What a valuation gives you.
Forty minutes in your house, then a written figure with the comparable sales behind it. Free, and without obligation.
- 1
The visit — we measure, photograph mentally, and listen to your plans
- 2
The comparables — recent sold prices on your street, not asking prices
- 3
The figure — a guide price in writing, with our fee quoted beside it
- 4
The plan — photography, floor plan, launch date, and viewing strategy
Valuations are enquiries the office confirms. We reply within one working day.
Sample valuation flow. The enquiry goes to hello@ashfordandvine.example — replace with your own address.
What we do every week.
Launch properly
Photography, floor plan, EPC arrangement, and a listing written about the house — not the agent.
Accompanied viewings
Eleanor or Thomas conducts every viewing and reports back in writing within 24 hours.
Weekly calls
Every Friday, a call with viewing feedback, portal numbers, and price advice — even when the advice is to hold.
Offers to exchange
Every offer in writing, chain-checking, survey negotiation, and weekly chasing to exchange.
Sample service description. Replace fees and timescales with your own terms.
What are your fees?
Fees are quoted per instruction and confirmed in writing before we list. As a sample, this starter assumes a single fixed fee with no sale, no fee — replace with your own terms before launch.
How long will it take?
As a sample, our median last year was 31 days to offer and twelve weeks to exchange. Your house, price, and chain change that — we show you the comparables at valuation.
Do I need to decorate first?
Rarely. Declutter, fix what is broken, and let us photograph the light. We advise against spending money you will not recover.
Can I stay with my current agent too?
We work sole-agency. Multi-agency splits attention and usually the price with it. If you are already instructed elsewhere, talk to us when the term ends.
