In the third quarter of 2015, it was calculated that more than 20% of the world's population had an active Facebook account, which is approximately 1.55 Billion users. For the UK this percentage is far higher, with more than half the UK population regular users of Social Media. As a result of these remarkable figures, in 2016 Hilton King & Locke decided to integrate a property search facility into our Facebook page. This facility has proved to be extremely popular, users are not only able to browse properties for sale and to let whilst on Facebook, but also share property pages with their friends and family, who in turn share pages and as a result greatly increase the reach of the advertising for our properties.

Extensive Database of Waiting Buyers

We currently have in excess of 5000 potential purchasers registered across our network of offices. Upon receiving your instructions to market your home, the property will be matched against our client database using our specially designed estate agency software. The system will then automatically provide us with a list of suitable buyers who will be contacted by telephone, and then the sales particulars will be posted or emailed to all interested parties.

Accompanied Viewings

Once interest has been generated in the property, appointments for quality prospective purchasers to inspect the property will be arranged at your convenience. We happily accompany prospective buyers around your property. Alternatively, if it is easier for you we are able to hold a key and show buyers around your property for you. We can confirm that our keys are held securely in a coded system, and that a member of staff at Hilton King & Locke will always accompany any prospective purchaser to view your home.

Open House Events

A property is generally most saleable when it first comes to the market and with this mind we recommend that an Open House event should be held to launch the viewings on the property. An Open House is not perhaps what the phrase suggests, potential buyers are still given individual viewing times but are grouped together, one after another, usually 10 - 14 days after marketing commences. The benefits of the Open House are that since viewings are perhaps all on one Saturday afternoon, it is more convenient for the seller, but also the event creates a real buzz around the property and more quality interest which in leads to receiving offers at the best possible price.

Regular Progress Reports

One of our key objectives is to ensure that at all times our vendors receive the best possible service and advice from us. In order to ensure that this is maintained we guarantee to provide you with a full progress report on a weekly basis. At this point we will discuss the marketing to date and any suggested amendments to our future approach. Our computer system also provides a print out of information on how many particulars have been sent out and viewing appointments have taken place including feedback to date and can be forwarded to you at any time during the marketing.

Feedback on all Viewings

We guarantee to provide feedback on all viewing appointments the day after the appointment takes place as long as we are able to contact the buyer in question. At this point we will report any comments including feedback to date, this will be relayed to you whether it is positive or negative, as we feel that all feedback is constructive.

Qualified Offer Negotiation

All offers received by us will of course be communicated to you at the earliest convenience. At this point we will advise you of the offer amount, the buying position, and relevant timescale of the prospective purchaser. We undertake to negotiate the best possible sale price we can for your property. Once a sale has been agreed we will liaise with the solicitors and estate agents involved in the chain and maintain our regular contact with you keeping you updated of all developments. Our aim is to ensure the sale progresses through to exchange of contracts and completion as smoothly and as quickly as possible.
