There were three distinct phases when we came to sell our house; putting it on the market, closing the sale and exchanging contracts. Progressively, the value of Belvoir and Loretto and Brian as our estate agents became more and more apparent. Phase one: We had quotes from three estate agents and decided to instruct Belvoir not because their assessment of our house’s value or how they said they would promote our home, but because we knew they would coach us and consult with us every step of the way, including on how to negotiate with the estate agents acting for our forward purchase. The result in phase two is that despite us owning a house by a noisy road, they soon found a buyer prepared to pay the full asking price. But it was in phase three Belvoir really earned their fee. There were significant issues in the chain behind us and without the persistence and tenacity of Loretto to get the sale across the line, there was every chance we would have had to start again. Moving house is infamously stressful. We are so glad we had Belvoir behind us, keeping us informed at every step and rattling cages when they needed to be rattled. As far as price is concerned, our three estate agent quotes came in at roughly the same price; however, on the question of value for money, there is no doubt Belvoir left the alternatives behind.
