 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a really great experience with Matt at Right Choice. Our house sold within a week for the full asking price, and we couldn’t have asked for a better service.
Communication was excellent from start to finish. Matt kept us updated throughout, was always on top of things, and constantly chased everything up to keep the chain moving and make sure the whole process ran smoothly right through to completion.
Selling a house can be stressful, but Matt made the whole experience so much easier. He was proactive, approachable and always seemed to be one step ahead.
We’re really grateful for all his hard work and would happily recommend Matt and Right Choice to anyone looking to sell their home. Thanks again, Matt, for making everything run so smoothly!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently sold our house through Right Choice after enquiring at a house close by that had a Right Choice for sale sign, who said how good they were and we're so glad we chose them and can't recommend them enough, Jamie dealt with our sale and was brilliant from the start of the process right to our completion day. He explained everything and kept in regular contact with us throughout and was always reachable if we had any questions. He would proactively regularly contact the Solicitors to keep us on their radar.
We wouldn't hesitate to advise anyone to sign up with Right Choice for a friendly, efficient and trustworthy Estate Agent.
Five Stars all round.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Some Estate Agents sell houses. Jamie sells homes.

Honestly couldn’t recommend Jamie highly, enough. Jamie is wise beyond his years. He’s tenacious, exceptionally professional, honest, objective and refreshingly straight talking. Most importantly, he doesn’t just follow the usual Estate Agent playbook. He thinks differently.
Jamie is creative, proactive and relentless when it comes to finding the right buyer and getting the best possible result. He doesn’t sit back and wait for a sale to happen, he actively makes things happen.

Jamie will give you an honest view, he works incredibly hard and puts real thought into how your property should be positioned and marketed. What sets him aside from others, he works work integrity.

If I were selling a property tomorrow, Jamie would be the first person I’d call.

If you’re thinking of selling, my advice is simple

Don’t just choose an Estate Agent. Choose someone who will fight for your sale. Choose Jamie.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who combines energy, intelligence, creativity, honesty and determination as brilliantly as he does.

We will always highly recommend Jamie and his team.

Selling Your Property?

Selling a property can be daunting and even more so, if you are looking for a new home to purchase at the same time. However, making the right choices could not only make the process less stressful but save you time and potentially help you achieve a higher sale price.

Please see below our brief guide to helping your sale proceed smoothly.

Step 1: Property valuation

Arranging a valuation of your home is usually the first step for anyone considering selling a property and is an essential to help you decide if now is the right time to move. When providing their appraisal an estate agent should provide you with evidence to support their advice and to provide you with certainty their valuation is realistic and achievable.

We can provide you with a free no obligation valuation of your property, click here to book a meeting.

Step 2: Establishing a budget

If you are looking to purchase a new home, once you have had a valuation the next step would be to establish a budget. Discussing your requirements with an independent mortgage advisor will allow you to explore all of your options. We work hand in hand with Sterling Mortgage Advice who offer a completely fee free service and will be able to confirm your budget for you.

Step 3: Making your property ready for market

Presenting your home well can help you achieve a faster sale and a higher sale price. It is important to make sure your property looks at its best for the estate agents photographs and when buyers are coming to view. Remember first impressions count so don’t forget how important kerb appeal is.

If you are unsure over the best way to display your property, we would be more than happy to pop over and provide you with some guidance.

Step 4: Choosing an estate agent

When choosing an estate agent it is important to make the right choice. Here are some key points to consider:

Are they charging any fees upfront?
Do I have to pay them anything if I do not sell my property?
Will they be marketing your property on all four major property portals: Rightmove; Zoopla; PrimeLocation; and OnTheMarket?
Do they offer an open day or accompanied viewings with an experience agent?
Are their property details of good quality, do they offer professional photographs and a floorplan?
Remember your appointed estate agent is going to be representing you and your property, so ask yourself, would you want to buy a property they showed you?
If you are looking to purchase a new home, will they help with your search?
When a sale is agreed, will they provide you with weekly updates on the progress and help with any issues?
Will they hand over the keys to your buyer at completion?

Step 5: Does your property have a valid Energy Performance Certificate? (EPC)

An EPC is a standardised document which ranks properties in terms of energy efficiency. Homeowners need to provide an EPC to potential buyers when they sell their home. You have to have at least applied for an Energy Performance Certificate before you put your property on the market.
We can help you organise one if required.

Step 6: Once you have agreed a sale

At this stage you will need to appoint a conveyancer to handle the legal aspect of the sale. The solicitor will require forms to be completed and may ask for certain documents from you. These may include:

HM Land Registry title documents (if you have them)
A copy of a boiler service within the last twelve months
FENSA or CERTAS certificates for windows
Planning permission and or building regulation completion certificates and builder’s guarantee certificates for alterations or additions

It is important to complete the solicitors forms and provide any requested documents as quickly as possible, to make sure your sale progresses smoothly.

If you are unsure over the best way to display your property, we would be more than happy to pop over and provide you with some guidance.

Step 7: Completion

On the day of completion, if you are moving from one property to another, you are likely to be preoccupied with the process of moving. A helpful estate agent will be more than happy to handle the handing over of keys for you.
