From offer to completion - an agent’s true value

Monday, August 22, 2022

In the current property market where demand is high and supply still low, it can be straightforward to find a buyer. It’s not unusual to have multiple offers to consider and new research from Zoopla shows that the time it takes for a house to receive an accepted offer is the quickest it has been for years - 42% lower than in 2016. However, with one in five accepted offers not reaching completion for a variety of reasons, the hard part can be getting the sale over the line to exchange and completion. The adage “it’s a marathon, not a sprint” sums it up and once an offer has been accepted, that’s when you find how good your agent really is.

“Many, many thanks to Matthew and the team at Frost Gerrards Cross. We have just bought our forever home and could not have had a better experience. Matthew was great at keeping us updated at each step and went over and beyond in order to help get everything over the line. He and the rest of the team are very professional, friendly, and efficient. Highly recommend.” H.Patel

“We were really happy with Frost from start to finish. We spoke to a number of agents in relation to selling our house in Feltham, and decided to go with Frost, and definitely have not regretted that decision. Our house was put on the market quickly, with serious viewings arranged and a number of offers being made very quickly. Frost kept in very good communication with us and were extremely helpful in getting to exchange and completion, communicating with us, our buyer and the relevant solicitors to make sure things were progressed to time. Crucially as well, Frost got us a good price for the house. They valued it at higher than some of the other agents and were able to achieve offers around that higher price. We would 100% recommend Frost.” J. Hunter
