At Nicol Estate Agents we take the time to get to know our clients, and find out what they feel are the key selling points of their home - after all, it's the person living in a property that truly knows its merits. We also make sure that every member of our team visits your property so they can discuss the key characteristics of your home with any potential buyers that call or visit our office.
The next step is to prepare the material that we will use to market your property. We will give you honest, well-informed advice on the best way to sell your property, and we will create a bespoke marketing strategy for you.
We use only specialised high-quality photographs of your home, including elevated and aerial photography, along with detailed floor plans and well-written copy to outline the key selling points of your home. We have a range of high quality bespoke brochures and have the ability to create a HD video brochure of your property. You will approve all marketing material before launching to the market.
We commence canvassing the property by making personal contact with potential buyers whom we know are looking for a home of a specific style. Many of these buyers will have been disappointed in their efforts to buy property recently in your area. Buyers rely on us to contact them immediately if we believe we have something suitable.
As the properties have been seen by the office team we are particularly adept at selecting buyers and arranging viewings. Details of all properties we are instructed to sell are automatically forwarded to all names on our computer mailing list that match the properties criteria. We continue by canvassing your property throughout the sales campaign with the intention of creating maximum interest as quick as possible.
At all times we will continue to monitor marketing activity, carry out regular marketing reviews and provide you with regular updates on progress and activity. We will provide you with information on everything we are doing to market your home, and will give you feedback following every viewing.
Nowadays, the internet is at the heart of how we market a property attracting local, national and often International buyers. We make it a priority to stay up-to-date on all available sales channels when marketing your property and use highly visible sales boards, professional photography, including elevated and aerial photography, to show the property in best light, video tours, eye catching LED light pocket window displays and professionally produced bespoke brochures.
We also ensure that your property has a strong online and media presence and that every sales opportunity is explored and utilised.
Nicol Estate Agents use all major successful property websites to advertise our properties including Rightmove, S1 Homes, Prime Location and Zoopla as well as our own website, www.nicolestateagents.co.uk, which attracts thousands of unique visitors every month. We also appear on numerous ‘partner’ websites including The Times/Sunday Times, The Telegraph, The Independent and Homes24 to name a few.
One of our main roles as your estate agent is to take care of offers and negotiations on your behalf.
Our experienced team will conduct the negotiations on your behalf and our key aim is to negotiate the best price from the right buyer, and to achieve a moving date that works for you. As soon as an offer is received, we will notify you both verbally and in writing. We will also inform you of any special conditions of the offer, qualification of client funding and will check the buyer’s ability to proceed, before you decide whether to accept the offer.
We like to keep in mind your original expectations in terms of the price you would like for your property, and we refer back to this throughout the process. At all times we maintain regular contact with your solicitor and the purchaser’s solicitor in pursuing the conclusion of the sale.
In our experience each and every client and home is unique. For some a discreet private way of dealing with their home sale is better suited than the normal approach of advertising a property to as wide an audience as possible. In some cases, both owner and home will benefit more from not being advertised on the open market or on property websites.
Nicol Estate Agents are perfectly suited to handle such discreet home sales. Not only is our team highly experienced in marketing of property at all price levels and complexity, but we have carefully built our buyers database, know what they are looking for and can find the perfect buyer for your home without fuss or publicity.
We also understand that in some cases a private launch to selected clients before taking the home to the open market can generate a premium by the privilege of securing a property before it becomes public; or that in some cases only a discreet sale is desired.
Opting for a private sale with Nicol Estate Agents will not only help you avoid an open house or the back and forth of numerous viewings, but will give you access to our qualified premium buyers, carefully selected so the whole process can run discreetly, quietly and successfully.
At the same time, buyers who would like their property search to be handled more discreetly should contact our team to check what our private sale service offers. So if you are looking for a special home which you can't see on the market at present, tell us what you are looking for and we will let you know if anything becomes privately available.

At Nicol Estate Agents we understand that people today have busy family and working lives, and that's why we offer an accompanied viewing service allowing us to show your home on your behalf. Our longer opening hours are essential to maximise viewing opportunities for your home, and accompanied viewings allows us to use our local market and area knowledge to sell your home.
If you are happy to show your own home, at times that suit you, we would talk you through our suggestions for showing your home to prospective buyers, covering aspects such as handling questions, sequence and presentation of rooms.
At every stage of the selling process, from the initial meeting right through to moving day and even beyond, we will keep in touch with you to make sure you are aware of what’s happening with your house sale. After all, it’s one of the most stressful and life-changing things you can do, especially if you are moving into your first home or even to a new location.
We will provide you with information on everything we are doing to market your home, and will give you feedback following every viewing. This is vital as it can give us guidance on how people are receiving your property.
Each member of our friendly team will be familiar with your property. We are always on hand to offer help and advice and to ensure that you are comfortable throughout the selling process. Please feel free to contact us at any time to discuss your sale.
