Achieving the best price for your home

The valuation of your home can be a very personal part of the journey to sell. Therefore, it is esential that we discuss with you the correct strategy for selling your home to acheive the price needed to continue your life journey. Strategies could include, the modern approach of Offers Over with a view to achieving the maximum interest, culminating in a ‘full and final’ offer situation. Or a more traditional Guide Price approach at the highest end of your home’s price range. Or, when appropriate, an informal Tender Sale (sealed bids). Our advice is based on what is right for you, your home and ensuring we achieve the very best price.

We do things properly

Marketing your home isn’t just a process - it’s a craft. We realised long ago that to really make your property stand out, the marketing has to be impeccable. That’s why we work with a professional property photographer to capture your home in its best light and create high-definition virtual tours that invite buyers in before they’ve stepped through the door.

To ensure your home truly shines, our property brochures are carefully crafted by a professional copywriter, whose engaging narratives highlight your property’s unique features and charm, and inspire visits.

Want to showcase even more? We can create compelling narrated property videos, ideal for buyers relocating from outside the area who want a feel for both the property and the neighbourhood.

All of this is supported by thoughtful strategy and sharp design — turning interest into offers and helping you secure the best possible price.

Keeping you informed every step of the way

Communication is paramount to the success of your sale.

We will discuss the marketing of your home with you as often as you wish, at a minimum of every ten days. We also recommend a face-to-face review meeting with you every four weeks at your home until you are under offer.

You will have the personal mobile telephone numbers for both Nick and James. If you need us, simply get in touch.

The power of social

We’re not just on social media - we know how to use it to give your home an edge. Every property we represent is promoted across Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, giving your home the visibility it deserves among engaged, active audiences.

And here’s where we go further: our private Facebook group, Hitchin Property Premiere, now with over 1,100 members, gives early access to serious buyers before listings go live on Rightmove. This lets us generate early buzz, gauge pricing sensitivity and connect with buyers who may not be in touch with other agents - all in a low-pressure environment that works.

Onward move

In the current market selling your home is only the first step to moving, however, finding a property can prove more challenging. We work with our customers to help them find and secure their next home. Our existing customers will be the first to know about new properties coming to the market. Additionally, our state of the art software can identify suitable properties and contact the owners of these homes on your behalf. We would be delighted to negotiate your purchase for you (think Phil and Kirsty!), deal with the agent and even attend viewings! This is all part of the service we offer to all our customers.

We will do everything we can to help you sell for the best price, to the best buyer, and to secure your dream home.

Negotiation & sales management

The most crucial aspect of any sale is the negotiation. Anyone can take an offer and pass it on to an owner, but a trained and skilled negotiator will get you a better price. We are on your side and will fight for every penny. We take great pride in achieving the maximum price for our customers.

When a sale is agreed the real work starts! Having checked your buyer has the funds, and that the chain is solid, we will chase the whole chain (not just our link) regularly and keep you updated. We will liaise with other estate agents, solicitors, mortgage brokers, and surveyors to keep the sale on track. We will work to your timescales, after all, we are working for you.

Discreet marketing option

Moving home can provide a dilemma for many of us, either by trying to find that often elusive home to buy first, or to strengthen our buying position by selling beforehand.

Our discreet market option is a low-key approach to property marketing intended specifically to resolve this problem. Properties held on our Discreet Register are not advertised, we do not erect a for sale board. Instead, notification of your property’s availability is passed discreetly to carefully selected buyers who have already indicated their willingness to wait for the ‘right’ property. Many of these buyers might be living in rented accommodation and are therefore able to offer a flexible timescale.

Out of area selling

For past and present customers we are able to offer an out of area selling service. We have been asked several times to act on the sale of a remote second home, surplus rental investment or probate sale.

We have several solutions we can tailor to your needs with the largest variable being the distance from our area but even if your property were near Lands End we can still offer our services in maximising the selling price, effectiveness of marketing and transaction management.

Over recent years it has become increasingly common that we have been asked to assist customers with an out of area home to sell, with whom we have worked with closely after selling their local property. It is always a pleasure to assist them again.

Please note: this service is only available to past and present customers.

“We recently had the pleasure of working with Nick from Wellington Evans to purchase our first home, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the initial consultation to the closing of the deal, Nick was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. Their communication was excellent, always keeping us informed and guiding us through each step with clarity and patience. Thanks to Nick and the team at Wellington Evans, we are now the proud owners of our first home. We highly recommend their services to anyone in search of a reliable and dedicated estate agent. Thank you Nick! Lucy and Henry.”

Lucy & Henry Piper, House Purchase in Hitchin March 2024

“Wellington Evans have been fabulous to work with. All four team members have been professional and gone above and beyond to accommodate the sale of our house smoothly. The advice and support we have received has been exceptional. We have sold many properties over the years through various estate agents and will remain with Wellington Evans going forward due to their exceptional high class service, experience and knowledge.”

Natalie Visick, House Sale in Hitchin September 2022

“We have recently bought and sold with Wellington Evans and their service was faultless. James has a wealth of experience and knowledge of the local area and on our initial meeting spent along time giving us great advice whilst listening to what our specific needs were. James helped us enormously with our pricing strategy when selling and with that great advice enabled us to gain maximum price for our house which enabled us to purchase our current home.”
