The most suitable method of sale for you
Private Treaty Sales. A buyer and seller negotiate through an estate agent until a sale price and terms are agreed.
Sale by Tender. Prospective purchasers are invited to submit their best price, usually in writing, by a given date and time.
Sale by Auction. A property is offered for sale by public auction on a given date. Interested parties can bid in person, by telephone, online or by proxy. Contracts are exchanged on the fall of the hammer, with a pre-agreed completion date (usually 28 days). Read about our leading Property Auction Department here.
Off Market Sales. We have successfully sold property by all methods of sale across the whole region, ranging from the smallest pony paddock to commercial farms and estates, achieving fantastic results for our clients.
Buying services. Whilst this page focusses largely on selling or letting farms and land, we regularly act for clients who are expanding their rural business, secure the best terms for the purchase.
Our Step by Step Sales Service
In-depth property consultancy. Our service starts with a free, no obligation and comprehensive appraisal of your property, during which we will offer market advice, discuss the best method of sale to suit your property and – using direct comparables - provide an indication of market value.
Professional photography and floor plans. First impressions count, we will outline the range of marketing material we can use to provide potential purchasers with as much information as possible, including elevated shots, drone photography and 3D virtual tours.
Bespoke listings. We will show examples of property listings and brochures, all prepared to the highest standard, to ensure that your property listing is comprehensive, accurate, and presented at its best.
Our technology. A linked database throughout all our offices ensures that your property reaches all buyers looking for a home like yours. Matching people to property is the key to a successful agency.
Our Network. Our reach extends beyond our 16 regional offices to The London Office and their 195 independent estate agents throughout the country, ensuring that your property reaches the widest audience possible. Our database comprises an active register of applicants, including private buyers and investors, all of whom could be looking for a property like yours. We are delighted when our properties are selected to appear in national media features.
Our online presence. Symonds & Sampson’s website received nearly 3 million visits last year and features prominently in searches for property advisors, agents and surveyors within the region.
Our social media channels, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn, received over 18 million views last year. Our audience is global, with overseas visitors comprising a significant portion of our audience.
Your property will be listed on our website as well as the leading portals, Rightmove, Zoopla and Primelocation.
Accompanied viewings and feedback. Our agents are trained to ask the right questions to ensure thorough feedback, and to keep you up-to-date at all times.
Negotiating Offers. Having an experienced agent to quantify interested parties and help evaluate the potential for a successful sale is crucial to ensure the negotiation and smooth running of your sale.
Legal progression. Our agents are frequently credited for their experience in dealing with even the most difficult sales, liaising with solicitors and surveyors to ensure that your sale progresses smoothly.
