Great guidance, at a difficult time.

Cannot commend Ahmet and his team from Winkworths enough. I felt I needed speed because of the rise in taxes on 2nd home sales, and the then upcoming EU referendum. Ahmet's advice and guidance were perfect: We completed 1 day before the vote to leave the EU, at what looks like the peak of the market, and with no onward chain, so we are in a strong position to buy in any downturn. After having 20 viewings with no offers, Ahmet advised us to drop the price aggressively to get ahead of a market already showing signs of slowing by mid-March 2016. I would not have done that on my own. We did as he said, got a buyer, and sold at the perfect time (completing 1 day before the vote to leave the EU!) at a good price. A better quality house on sale in our street at the same price did not take his advice, and left Winkworths with their property offered at £35,000 more than ours. When I last looked, their house was on offer at a price LOWER than we actually achieved, and £15,000 lower than we had it on offer. Then it was sold STC, but of course with no guarantee the buyer will stick to that if they have not exchanged, given the shock referendum result. Also, an astonishing amount of comparable houses are now being offered at auction. That was not the case a few weeks ago. Around 80% of the houses are on offer at prices lower than ours completed at, despite ours needing a lot of work. Great result. Well done to Ahmet and his team.
