Attracting Buyers
An early sale often happens because of our knowledge of our registered applicants and ability to match properties to buyers. We use an intelligent mix of traditional and high tech methods to ensure that your property has the maximum possible exposure to potential buyers from the moment we receive your instructions.

Accompanied Viewings with Feedback
In our experience, your very best chance of an offer comes when we accompany the Viewer. Our staff are trained to show your property in its best possible light and, to enable them to do so, they visit your property prior to the commencement of viewings to understand its features and merits.   Feedback is a very important part of our service to you and we will contact you after each viewing to let you know comments received. 

Minimising Delays
Our aim is to sell your property and progress the sale as quickly as possible. We understand each step in the sale process and we will liaise with all parties involved on your behalf including Surveyors, Solicitors, Mortgage Brokers and, if applicable, other Estate Agents to ensure a smooth move.

Outstanding Double Window Display
Our eye catching modern offices at Caversham and Theale are in busy locations with prominent window displays and high footfall.

Best Internet Exposure
Your property will feature on the Walmsley website and also on the top property portals in the country including www.rightmove.co.uk. Together these sites attract thousands of visits to our clients’ properties each month.   Our own site is recognised as being one of the very best in the area and includes full PDF details,   measurements, location maps, additional photographs and fast search facilities. Buyers are also able to register their requirements and are sent automatic e-mail notification of new properties matching their criteria.

Premier Newspaper Advertisements
Local property papers are an essential medium in the selling of property. With Walmsley your property will receive the very best publicity both the Reading’s Property Chronicle and Evening post.

Quality Property Prospectus
Accurate, well-presented and colourful property details are vital in order to promote the property and encourage viewings. An informative prospectus including floor plans and aerial photos can be produced, printed, emailed and posted on the Internet within a few hours.

Home Information Packs (HIPs)
This is now a statutory requirement before a property can be marketed. We can arrange a cost effective ‘HIP’ on your behalf with our recommended firm of professional Energy Assessors.

From 6 th April 2009 all Home Information Packs require a Property Information Questionnaire (PIQ) to be completed by the vendor and to be inserted into the home information pack before marketing of the property can commence.

The PIQ can be found on the front page of our suppliers website www.greenhomeships.co.uk. These files can be opened, completed electronically and emailed to admin@greenhomeships.co.uk or alternatively printed and sent to our office.

The information supplied within a Home Information Pack includes:-

• Index of documents contained within the pack
• Energy Performance Certificate
• Sale Statement
• Property Information Questionnaire
• Evidence of Title
• Searches – Local Authority, water and drainage
• If the property is Leasehold or Commonhold then in addition to the above the pack should, include those listed below:
• Copy if the Lease/Official Copy of the Commonhold Register and Plan

Completion Day
We endeavour to make completion as hassle free as possible and regard total management of this day as an integral part of our service. We maintain contact between all parties, co-ordinate your departure with your buyer’s arrival and arrange the collection/delivery of keys.  We can even arrange for a cleaner to make your day a little easier!

WALMSLEY DISTINCTIVE
Since it’s creation in the mid 1990’s, Walmsley has evolved into a highly respected Estate Agency that is, not only a market leader but has also developed into a sophisticated operation that is very well suited in the specialist area of distinctive homes.

Our great reputation for customer service and marketing is well known and proven by our many repeat clients.  We deal with a great number of well respected corporate firms including solicitors and new homes developers.  We are also proud to act for larger institutions including the University of Reading.

Simon Walmsley and David Burrell head the department and between them boast 42 years of combined experience in the field.  They both share a knowledge and passion for distinctive property.

Caversham and Theale with their attractive surrounding villages offer a broad and interesting range of property types and carry a reputation as a good areas to live. As such, both become a nucleus for discerning applicants, but who are still looking in the broader Reading region to utilise its accessibility and amenities.

Our target instruction is a home which is distinctive by its nature, not by price or geography. Therefore, whether it is a modern executive detached in Earley; a listed townhouse in a central Reading conservation area; a garden or penthouse apartment or a Victorian cottage in South Oxfordshire, we can help.
