When Is The Right Time To Change Agency During a Sale?

When you sell your home, sometimes it will feel like you have hit a wall or your dragging your feet. What can you do to help, how can YOU speed the process up?

Property sales are notoriously slow, laborious and sometimes frustrating. Why can’t it be simple? If the property has already been taken off the market by someone then unfortunately fault lies with one member of the chain/the solicitor you have chosen to use. However, if your property is struggling to get people through the door there might be a few factors to consider to help boost those leads and get someone to buy it.
There is a list of questions to think about - consider the marketing done by the agent. Are the photographs up to standard? Are they taken on a professional camera by someone who knows what they’re doing? Do you know If your agent does Virtual Tours, social media marketing and has the best negotiators to hand?
 
 
If the answer to one or more of those is no, you will want to start asking them why. It’s still not the end of the world if they don’t fulfil your needs. It’s very easy to change agency when your “Exclusivity Period” is over. Simply approach the new agent, follow their process and let the old agent know that you’re using two agencies.
It’s a win, win situation considering most agencies run a no sale no fee policy.
Healthy competition will make agencies perform better - as an agency ourselves we can say this as a fact.

With so much to consider—budgets, mortgages, legal paperwork, and finding the right property—it’s easy to feel lost in the process. This guide outlines the key things every first-time buyer should know before taking that first step onto the property ladder.

The last few months of the year are traditionally an interesting period for the UK property market. For buyers and sellers alike, it’s often a season of contrasts: while some buyers are keen to secure a move before Christmas or early in the new year, others prefer to wait until spring, traditionally the busiest season for housing activity.

Owning a second home is a goal for many people in the UK. Whether it’s a cottage by the coast, a city flat for weekday convenience, or a buy-to-let investment to generate income, the idea of having an additional property is both exciting and rewarding. But it’s also a decision with layers of complexity compared to purchasing your first home.

For most the dream of owning a property can feel just out of reach—especially with rising house prices and cost of living pressures. Shared ownership is one scheme that aims to bridge the affordability gap and help people get a foot on the property ladder. But what exactly is shared ownership, and is it the right move for you? Let's break it down.
