The Solihull Property Blog – Week Seven

Moving home is simple, but hard. This week we launch our video series on helping you move home. I consider how gazundering can affect you and are local estate agents suffering from toxic positivity.

Headlines

  1. Video Series Launch

  2. What is gazundering, and how it affects you

  3. Toxic positivity. Let the stats do the talking and not the estate agents.

1. How to value your property like a PRO in 20 minutes!

The first in our video series is designed to help homeowners and sellers understand how to value their property. As a Chartered Surveyor with extensive experience in the property industry, I will be providing you with practical insights and tools that you can use to conduct your desktop study before estate agents visit your property.

Please find the video HERE.

2. What is gazundering, and how it affects you?

Gazunder: Verb: lower the amount of an offer that one has made to (the seller of a property), typically just before the exchange of contracts.

Check out our tips on how to avoid it HERE.

3. A tale of toxic positivity

Prices are failing, but estate agents aren’t discussing this as they wish to keep clients and potential clients positive about their moves. Many houses will fail to sell as the expectations between buyers and sellers are too far apart.

Check out Tom Blackburn’s article for the Birmingham Mail HERE.

Horton & Senate were very professional, honest and gave us a good valuation for our home. I would recommend Horton & Senate to anyone wishing to sell their home. Genuine people helping you make the right decision for you.

Justyn was amazing from start to finish. We purchased our home through Horton & Senate, Justyn was always available and was always the first person in the chain to have any information on progress. We would highly recommend Horton & Senate for an individual, informative and positive service.

I recently purchased a property through Horton & Senate. Justyn and Emma were very approachable throughout, ensured I was kept up to date with any relevant information. Thank you all at H&S!

Justyn, Emma and Casey were all instrumental in helping us find our first home and they were extremely responsive and supportive all along the way. I am gutted to have not had the opportunity to meet all of the team in person due to COVID but, from our correspondence over the phone, they are really lovely people. Whenever we needed to clarify or chase something, the team was always happy to chase up with the other parties in the chain and help push things along. They also responded to all of our queries consistently within a matter of hours and were also happy to meet our requests when bidding for the property. Working with Horton & Senate was a pleasure from start to finish. Thanks again from Alex & Sophie!

Horton & Senate were the agent we chose for selling our property and we were very pleased with them, from the first visit to the close of business, house sold! Always interested in our needs, and professional in assessment, advice and service. We enjoyed their continued involvement throughout and are pleased to recommend them to all future sellers.

Having recently sold my property through Horton & Senate, I have only the highest praise for Justyn and all the team....ALWAYS kept up to date.....ALWAYS returning any phone messages.....ALWAYS remaining polite and professional, even when I occasionally put them under a little pressure. Highly recommended – 5 star service.

Having recently sold our property through Horton & Senate, I would highly recommend them to anybody looking for an estate agent. Professional and thorough throughout the process, we were always kept up to date at every stage. Excellent service.

Very friendly and professional estate agents. The nicest agents we dealt with in our search for a property.

Horton & Senate are an absolute joy to work with. Their knowledge, experience and expertise from the start set us at ease and made the process from start to finish an awesome experience. I would definitely recommend them!
