Four areas, described honestly.
Including the parts an agency usually leaves out — which streets flood, which terraces have party wall trouble, and which area people never leave so nothing comes up.
Brookfield
$395kPost-war semis on wide plots. Families trading up from the centre, so stock moves fastest in spring.
Marlowe Hill
$540kThe premium end. Larger lots, mature trees, and the slowest turnover in the area — people stay.
Old Quarter
$285kTerraces and converted flats. Strong rental yields, but check the party wall on anything pre-1900.
Riverside
$575kNewest development. Flood zoning matters here and we will tell you which side of the line a house sits.
Every sale this quarter, including the slow one.
Asking, achieved, and days on market. One of these sat for seventy-eight days and went under asking. Leaving it off would make the other five worth less.

Valuation with the comparables attached
A number is easy. You get the six sales it came from, so you can check the reasoning.
You approve the marketing before it runs
Photography, floorplan, copy and portal placement, shown to you first.
Every viewing reported back
Feedback in writing within 24 hours, including the unflattering kind.
Negotiation starts from the survey
When a survey lands, we argue from its findings rather than splitting the difference.
Two of these cost us money.
“Gave me a valuation twenty thousand under the agent down the road and explained exactly why. Sold in three weeks at asking.”
H. Barrantes
Sold, Brookfield
“Told us to walk away from the second house we offered on. They lost a commission by doing that.”
T. & R. Nwosu
Bought, Old Quarter
“Viewing feedback actually arrived, every time, including the bad.”

Asked at every valuation.
How do you decide the asking price?+
From completed sales of genuinely comparable properties in the last six months, adjusted for condition, aspect and plot. You get the comparables with the valuation so you can check the reasoning rather than take a number on trust.
What is your commission?+
1.2% on completion, no upfront marketing fee and no withdrawal charge. It is published here rather than saved for the appointment.
How long will it take to sell?+
The sold record on this page lists days on market for every recent sale including the slow ones — one sat for 78 days. That is a more honest answer than quoting an average.
Will you tell me not to buy something?+
Yes, and we have. An agent who has never talked a buyer out of a house is being paid by the wrong outcome.
Do you handle rentals?+
Tenant placement and full management, for landlords who would rather not take the calls at eleven at night.
Request a valuation.
You get a written figure with the comparables attached, whether or not you go on to list. If we think you should wait six months, we will say that too.
