I am a joint executor for the estate of a cousin who passed away in December 2020. We used Northwood for the sale of two residences in Ashford. As the first property was already mid-sale at the time of death, we had to halt the sale for several months. With the uplift in the market, we as executors were legally obliged to maximise the value of the estate. Accordingly, we instructed Northwood to give the buyers a few days to increase the offer. This was not forthcoming, so we instructed Northwood to re-market the property. We quickly received new offers and achieved an 11% increase on the price from the previous sale. Northwood then marketed the second property and secured 16 viewings in one week; all conducted without any need to attend by us. We received several offers and agreed a sale at 12% higher than the estate valuation. These sales represent a great result for the estate beneficiaries. Northwood’s fees were highly competitive, and I have no hesitation recommending the team at the Ashford office. Mark & Gavin were professional, communicative and gave independent advice when needed. The sales were confirmed very quickly, and Northwood have guided us through the sale process smoothly.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism, Value
