Once you've signed our terms of sale, the first thing we recommend doing is choosing your solicitor. If we were to give one piece of advice to any of our sellers it would be to pay a little extra for the best solicitor as these are fundamental to the speed at which as sale goes through.

Getting your home looking as best as it can be could make all the difference

This is where the magic happens - our magazine quality photography brings your home to life with editorial style images. We love telling the story of your home and will ask you about the life you have built there to give us the very best idea of what its like to live here. We go beyond the bricks and mortar when selling homes.

We book 80% of our viewings directly from our 20,000 strong First Look email subscribers. Eager buyers actively looking for homes in Bristol. We create a listing of your home and send directlty into their inbox before putting anything out to the traditional portals.

We don't have any weekend staff and the same person who valued your home from at the beginning shows people around. So no lost details and no time wasted. As with everything we make the viewing experiene as enjoyable and exciting as possible. This could be someone's dream home - and we want to make them love every minute of it.
