Property Solvers as a company has been established since 2006 and the directors have experienced various stages of the market and understand what it takes to get a property sold within the shortest possible timeframe.

We will not list your property in order to simply “win the business” over our competitors

We pride ourselves in combining unique expertise and professionalism to achieve the best outcome and, of course, price.

We are only able to guarantee prices through our quick sale and auction services (the latter being once the hammer has fallen).

This is because we will advertise your property and seek out the best possible price on the open market.  However, our realistic pricing strategy, will mean that we will attract serious homebuyers who want to move fast and will not waste your time.

Yes, we certainly can.

Our partner solicitors are very experienced, knowledgeable and charge rates that are often well below the national average conveyancing fees.  They can also potentially assist with your onward purchase (including organising searches and other legal checks) should that be required.

Please click here and complete the details on the form.

This will entirely depend on your requirements and whether price is more important than speed.

Should you be seriously thinking about selling within a shorter time frame, Property Solvers can help.

The trade off with using this service is that our purchase prices will lie in the region of 75% of your property’s current market value.  However, we will be able to complete on the sale in as little as 7 days.  There will also be no estate agency or legal fees to pay – potentially saving you thousands of pounds.

We’re afraid not…

It’s often forgotten that running a local estate agency and the ever-growing overheads we face as a business can often mean that we have to sell several properties before breaking even.

In recent years, we have seen notable rises in the costs of accessing portals (Rightmove, Zoopla, Prime Location), photos/floorplan production, EPCs, viewings – not to mention staff and other associated costs.

The emergence of online estate agencies has changed the face of how homes are bought and sold across the UK.  Many offer low and sometimes even free estate agency services, principally to gain market share.

We – along with other well established estate agencies in Reading and beyond – continued to be perplexed at how these businesses are making money. It is indeed evident that many are operating at a loss and it’s hard to deny that there is a “race to the bottom”.

Having been involved in the industry for over 2 decades, we understand that running an estate agency business successfully requires much more than a “cookie-cutter” approach that you’ll often find with these online operators.

What’s more the service you get from us will be personable and backed by genuine hands-on experience.

We aim to get a firm offer in place within 28 days of your property going to market.  In most cases, however, we’re able to get our sales stock Under Offer or Sold Subject to Contract in under a week.

Not at all.  We’ll sell your house for a realistic market price based on what serious buyers are willing to pay.  Indeed, we’re often able to drive prices well above their asking price due to creating what we call a “competitive bidding environment”.

Property Solvers as a company operates across the UK and has accumulated many reviews via Reviews.io, Google Reviews and TrustPilot.

We are also more than willing to put you in touch with some of our clients who have used our services over the years.

Yes, we can provide a free valuation – however we would need to know that you plan to sell the property eventually.

All we would say here is give us a call for a chat.  We’re a people-focused business and offer second-to-none service backed by years of real experience.

We’re sure you’ll be happy with the service!

We only charge our fees upon successful exchange and completion of the sale.

No, however – we may charge a set up fee should you wish to market a property significantly above our recommendation or not be amenable to any price reductions should there be little or no interest.  This protects the risk we take in marketing a property we would not be confident about selling.

We will advertise your property on our own Reading property portal alongside major websites including Rightmove, Zoopla and Prime Location.

Your property will also appear on a number smaller “niche” homebuyer sites including The House Shop, Homesearch, Houseladder, Get Agent, Placebuzz amongst many more…

In addition to estate agency fees, other costs you will need to consider include:

• Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
• Conveyancing Fees
• Preparing Your House for Sale (depending on the condition)
• Mortgage Exit Fees
• Early Repayment Charge (ERC) should you be exiting the mortgage before the end of the term
• Removal Costs
• During the Sales Process
• Capital Gains Tax (should this not be your main home) and Stamp Duty if you are buying a new property.

Yes, this is a legal requirement. However, if you have produced one in the last 10 years however – and it can be found on the Gov.UK EPC register – we do not need to produce one.

Note that Property Solvers can instruct one of our local specialists

Yes, we’re regularly and successfully selling property across the region as well as across the UK.

Our estate agency contracts are straightforward, easy to understand without any onerous clauses.

We actively encourage our clients to read through our sales agreement and ask as many questions as necessary.

We feel it’s unfair that estate agents lock sellers into contracts, especially when the level of service is not up to par.

Giving the option to delist the property with us makes our customers feel that their options are open – which is what we feel is important.  Indeed, it’s very rare for customers to withdraw their properties.

Not at all!

We can conduct viewings 7 days a week (including evenings). We can either take the keys from you or work around your own schedule.

We pride ourselves in preparing our listings quicker than any other estate agents.

Once we have received a signed contract from all the owners, we can immediately order floorplans, photos and (where required) the Energy Performance Certificate.

Having a FOR SALE sign is usually recommended as it provides extra exposure to your local neighbourhood. However, some seller clients prefer to keep things reasonably private and choose not to.

Either way, we will take your lead on this side of things and – where required – can get our of our boards up in a matter of days.

The Property Solvers Reading Estate Agency boards have our 24/7 freephone number and website details for prospective buyers to book in viewings quickly and easily.

We’re, of course, here to help discuss and make any suggestions…

Please feel free to contact us any time.

We’ve also created this article on questions to ask estate agents which you are more than welcome to put to us (along with anything else you can think of).
