James offers a Private Sale intermediary service, also known as a ‘Deal Progression’ service – where two private parties have agreed to buy and sell a property without having agents involved.
This is often between two parties that have some form of relationship with each other such as two family members, a sale between friends, neighbours or a relationship such as Landlord / tenant. Private property sales often make sense to the parties involved as many costs to marketing and selling the property can be avoided.
With our service, we mediate between the two sides which allows either side to raise concerns, question criteria such as price or price reductions or concerns raised within the property survey without having to be too sensitive to the other side. Having us in the middle, experienced in how a similar transaction works, gives comfort to both sides to the transaction - both sides knowing that every aspect of the sale is being addressed and will be moved forward to exchange & completion in a sensible unbiased way.
It is a much cheaper way to fulfil a property sale without compromising on the level of professional service an agent can bring.
Buying or selling a property is stressful enough without the added pressure of handling an awkward subject that might arise in the sale process or simply knowing whether all bases have been covered
Often this service used by those selling themselves through online agents, such as purple bricks or house simple, when the service they provide is weak at getting the sale to happen especially after the seller has already accepted an offer. James ensures the sale will happen adding what was lacking in the online service.
James gives you the added value needed to manage the sale process efficiently and completely, easing the stress that can come with a property transaction
If you are thinking of selling privately, either to someone you have a relationship with or selling your property by yourself, through one of the online websites, then why not get in touch to discuss your options. We can guide you through the process and we only get our fee once you have sold.
"We decided to sell our flat to our long term tenants and had agreed a price. Luckily we had employed James to progress the deal. An issue ensued with our buyers which James very capably, smoothed out. He made both sides see sense and the sale happened happily" - Seller W14
