However, traditional agents like Shortland Horne and John Payne Estate Agents provide more personalized service, local market expertise, and hands-on negotiation support.

The choice depends on your property value and how much support you need throughout the selling process.

Sellers typically arrange an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) before marketing. For properties over 50 years old or with known structural concerns, a RICS Level 2 survey provides valuable condition reports that can address buyer concerns upfront. Properties in flood risk areas or those with unusual construction may require additional specialist surveys. Given CV3 6 includes properties across various age ranges, understanding your property's construction type helps determine appropriate survey requirements. We offer RICS Level 2 surveys from £350 and RICS Level 3 surveys from £550 for more detailed structural assessments.
