The city centre, sold well

The city centre, sold well

Estate agents for Manchester's square mile. We know the buildings, the leases and the buyers.

One market, known building by building

A flat in Ancoats and a flat in Spinningfields are a mile apart and might as well be in different cities. Different buildings, different buyers, different questions from their solicitors.

We know what has sold in your building, what the service charge is doing and who is likely to pay most for your home. That is what lets us price it properly, find the right buyer quickly and keep the sale together until it completes.

Why sell with us

City centre flats are a market of their own

We know the buildings

The managing agents, the service charges and the buyers each building attracts. Every valuation we give starts from what has actually sold in and around yours.

Leasehold, sorted early

Service charges, ground rent, lease length and building safety are where city centre sales stall. We gather the answers before we launch, not when a buyer's solicitor asks.

Owner-occupiers and investors

We know who buys in each building and what they will pay, and we can sell with a tenant in place when that is the better route.

How it works

From valuation to completion

Three stages, with the same person looking after your sale throughout.

One

We value it properly

We come and see it, look at what has sold in your building and the ones around it, and give you a figure with the reasoning behind it. If there is something worth doing first, we will say so.

Two

We find the right buyer

Photography that does the light justice, a launch to the buyers already on our list, and every viewing accompanied. Then we check that whoever offers can actually proceed.

Three

We see it through

Most city centre sales that fall through do so over the lease or the building. We chase the management pack, keep solicitors moving and tell you where things stand every week until the keys change hands.

The part most agents leave late

Leasehold questions, answered before they are asked

Almost every home in the city centre is a leasehold flat, and almost every delayed sale is delayed for the same reasons: a management pack that takes six weeks to arrive, a service charge nobody can explain, or a question about the building that should have been answered at the start.

So we start there. Before your flat goes on the market we gather what a buyer's solicitor will want to see, and we read it, so that when a buyer asks a question we already know the answer.

It is not glamorous work, but it is the difference between an offer and a completion.

No obligation

What is your flat worth?

Tell us which building it is in and we will arrange a time that suits you.

You will get a figure based on what has actually sold, an honest view of anything worth doing first, and no pressure of any kind afterwards.

We will only use these details to arrange your valuation.
