What we do

The whole thing, start to finish

Selling, buying, or just wondering what it is worth — we take it from the first conversation to the keys.

Selling your home

We market it properly and get the best offer the market will give.

  • A free valuation, based on sold prices
  • Photographs, floor plan and EPC
  • On Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket
  • We do the viewings

Help buying

We will find something that fits what you want and what you can borrow — including things not yet advertised.

  • A shortlist that matches what you asked for
  • A view on the condition and the asking price
  • We negotiate on your side
  • An introduction to a mortgage broker

Paperwork & the chain

Memorandum of sale, solicitors instructed, searches chased and the chain followed up every week.

  • Memorandum of sale to both solicitors
  • Client money protected under a CMP scheme
  • Land Registry handled by your solicitor
  • A mortgage broker we actually trust

What we do and what is included

Step by step

How a sale goes

We run it. You only get involved in the decisions that are genuinely yours.

1

A valuation visit

We come to the house, look round properly and give you a figure based on what has sold nearby. Free, with nothing to sign.

2

Getting it ready

Photographs, a floor plan and the EPC — which has to be in hand before it can legally be advertised. Plus the material information buyers now expect.

3

Marketing and viewings

Listed on the main portals and viewings done by us, including evenings and weekends. You do not have to be there.

4

Offer to completion

Offer agreed, memorandum out, solicitors instructed and the chain chased weekly until you hand the keys over.

Rowan & Vale

We do this straight, in plain English, and without wasting your time.

We have been selling houses in and around Nottingham for eleven years and have helped over 130 families move. What we have learned is that most sales fall through for want of somebody ringing round the chain. So we ring round the chain.

A house is rarely just a house. We treat every sale the way we would want ours handled — carefully, without pressure, and with the awkward news delivered early rather than late.

What to expect

Three things we put in writing

Not testimonials — what a seller should be told before signing anything.

The fee, and what tie-in comes with it. A percentage, plus VAT, and how many weeks the sole agency period runs for. If an agent will not put the tie-in in writing, that is the answer.

What the valuation is based on. Sold prices from the Land Registry for comparable houses nearby, not the asking prices of things still sitting unsold. Overvaluing to win the instruction wastes months.

Who is chasing the chain, and how often. Most sales that fall through do so in the silence between offer and exchange. Ours get chased weekly, and you hear the bad news the day we do.
