Methods of Marketing

In today’s market there are a number of methods to market a property. The traditional method is the most commonly used which is to conduct viewings when it is convenient with you & to present an offer from a prospective buyer together with their position & financial status.

An 'Open House' is a method that originates from Australia that is now being used more often in this country. The idea of an Open House is to conduct all viewings in one go so there is less disturbance for the homeowner. If that is your preferred method of marketing there are an array of advertising options for you.

If your property is likely to generate a large amount of interest with a number of offers coming forward an ‘Informal Tender’ process may be the best answer. This is where all prospective buyers put forward their written offers before a given day & time.

Feedback

We believe that prompt honest feedback is the best way to communicate a buyers thoughts to you. Constructive feedback helps both the vendor & us as an estate agent to promote your property to future viewers.

Sales Progression

In today’s market one of the most important aspect of the sales process is the chasing of the legal side. We chase the process twice a week to make sure that transaction goes through as quickly & as easily as possible.

Solicitors

It is sensible to appoint a solicitor to act for you as soon as you think about buying or selling a home. It will help to move things along quickly later & it won’t cost anything to choose one.

We would always recommend a good local solicitor to act for you, someone that you can pop in & see if you have a problem. If you would like a recommendation please do not hesitate to ask.

Window Display

Set on the busy Wareham High Street, in between the Town Cross & Wareham River, our window display is one of the largest in town & is viewed by a large number of people every day. We change our window cards regularly to attract fresh interest

Advertising

When marketing any property we want to give it maximum exposure to make sure that it receives the required interest. Locally we use ‘The Swanage & Wareham Advertiser’ which is seen all through the Purbeck area. Additionally we are regularly asked for editorials from the local paper & we will therefore send your property to them as a press release.

Today the internet is a very powerful tool, especially when it comes to advertising your property. Our modern website was launched in the autumn of 2021. We also use Rightmove which is the number one property website in the UK as well as On The Market which is owned by independent estate agents.

Property Particulars

Your property will benefit from accurate and well-presented sales particulars, which include floor plans, EPC’s & colour digital photography. All details from the particulars are then uploaded to the internet.

Buyers respond positively to good quality photography & we will therefore take a large number of photographs to make sure that we have the best possible for your property. We make sure that marketing literature is detailed & attractive.

Floorplans

Recent research has shown that buyers are more likely to view your property on the internet if it has a floor plan. We make sure that all of our properties are marketed with a floor plan both in the particulars & on the internet with no extra charge,

Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

An EPC is now a legal requirement for all properties on the sale’s & lettings market. We use a local company to conduct our EPC’s that we can arrange on your behalf. Please speak to us regarding legal requirements on letting & commercial EPC’s.

Lettings

The Lettings Market has changed notably over the years. Legislation is constantly changing and tenants are becoming more and more discerning, this is why it is important to speak to a professional agent. Our Lettings department have won the Gold Award at The British Property Awards for five out of the last six years. In 2017 the Gold award was won for 'Best Estate Agent in Wareham', this was followed in 2019-2020 by winning the Gold award for Best Letting Agent in Swanage & Wareham. This same award was won again in 2020-2021, 2021-2022 & 2022-23. On each occasion the team were mystery shopped against a set of 25 criteria to obtain a balanced view of their customer service levels. The team were also ranked Exceptional in the Best Estate Agency Guide in 2018.

We focus on offering the best customer service and honest advice but most importantly to find tenants that will enjoy and care for your property. Unlike many agents Purbeck Property never charge an uplift when organising maintenance works on your behalf.

Reviews

I can only have good words for Dan, Jack and Mark. They are incredibly professionals without loosing humanity and natural approach in the way they treat the client. I felt I could trust these people immediately and I am not wrong. They have made a fantastic service and solved my problem of getting a home in hours! Later, as a tenant, I had some issues in the house I rented and they solved them immediately. I want to buy a house in the future, and I will not go anywhere else, but these nice guys! 100% recommended. Mrs S

I recently completed on a property I sold through Purbeck Property which I should of used from the start. Mark went above and beyond to help find a buyer as the property was empty with a difficult market recently. Throughout the service he was professional, swift and kept me up to date with progress. Nothing was to much trouble and would highly recommend this local estate agent in Wareham Dorset. Mr T

The Purbeck Property team managed both my house sale and purchase. Always courteous, punctual and with the benefit of their local knowledge I would recommend them highly. Being able to contact them (messages, either text or calls, were promptly picked up and replied to) or drop in to the office meant that I always felt informed. They really worked hard to progress both transactions. Keep up the great work! Mrs I

Mark and Dan were absolutely fantastic throughout the sale of our property in Wareham. I live in Australia and I was able to have complete confidence in them. Nothing was too much trouble. They were extremely professional, caring and unbelievably helpful. I can highly recommend Purbeck Property. Mrs C

Both Mark and Dan are excellent Estate Agents. They were very professional and friendly and were 100% reliable in keeping us up to date with the sale. We would not hesitate in recommending them to future purchasers and vendors! Mr & Mrs C

We would like to thank Mark from Purbeck Property he was very welcoming and we were so happy to have found our perfect home with help from Purbeck Property. We are new to this as it was our first home purchase but Mark made everything so easy and he helped whenever we needed him too. Amazing!!! We can't recommend all of you enough. We hope to buy from you again in the future well that's if we ever decide to move as we are very happy with our home and location. Many thanks again. Mr & Mrs S

My husband and I have recently negotiated the sale of our guesthouse through Purbeck Property. We were initially very impressed with Mark when he first came to measure up the property, discuss the potential sale and take photographs, he was extremely efficient and very pleasant and within a very short time our property was advertised in the shop window and appeared in the local newspaper. To our delight a sale was arranged in a very short time. Then by coincidence we viewed a bungalow which was on sale through Purbeck Property and once again Dan and Mark went out of their way to assist us with the purchase - the bungalow was empty but at all times they were both very willing to come with us to the property so that we could make the necessary arrangements for renovations and alterations once the purchase had been completed. We both would have no hesitation in recommending Purbeck Property, their professional manner and service was exceptional for both selling and purchasing. Mr & Mrs S

As landlords of a Wareham property to let we received a first rate service from Dan who is extremely professional in his dealings and kept us fully informed on the letting progress of our rental property which was accomplished in a very few days from start to finish. Though a small office the experience in that office is superb. We would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone considering letting/renting/buying or selling property in Purbeck. Mrs B

I have recently purchased a cottage in Wareham through Perbeck estate agents. I found them to be very professional in all aspects during the sale. They kept me informed of all the stages/ procedures throughout the dealings whether it was good news or bad news and were prepared to meet any problems or potential snags full on. They always had time for you to discuss any worries or concerns that you may have. I have purchased many properties over the years and found that a good honest estate agent can make all the difference whether it be a sale or a purchase to get to a smooth completion. I can highly recommend with confidence Purbeck property. Mr G

I have previously had a bad experience with estate agents. The team at Purbeck Property were extremely professional and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend them for selling or renting a property and will certainly be using them again. Mr M
