If you’re buying property, you’ll probably have heard about chains and maybe seen some houses advertised as “chain-free properties.” But what does this mean, and why does it matter when you’re choosing your next home?

If you’ve decided it’s time to put your property on the market, the next step is to find the right estate agent. Of course, we hope you’ll choose us! However, it really is up to you, and the most important thing is to find an estate agent who speaks your language and you can work with. In this blog, we look at the factors you should consider when you’re choosing an estate agent to sell your Guildford property.

Inheriting property can be a very mixed bag. As well as the fact that it might well come into your life during a very emotional time, you will also find yourself with some decisions to make. If you are the sole inheritor, you will have to make the decisions on your own. And if there are several beneficiaries of the will, you’ll have to make decisions together, which can be even harder! In this blog, we look at the options for when you inherit property.

When you sell your Guildford property through an estate agent, your agent should be working hard for you, prioritising your needs and ensuring your property sells quickly, for the right price. Part of this process is property marketing, like taking photographs, creating floor plans and advertising your property online. This kind of marketing comes as standard at Cobbles, and we always include it in our fee. We believe that any good estate agent should do the same. In this blog, we look at how Cobbles markets properties for its sellers, and what you can expect when you choose us to sell your Guildford property.

When you’re looking for a new house to buy or rent, it’s a good idea know what types of building are on the Guildford property market and what is meant by their different names. They each have their own pros and cons, and it’s important to get the right type of property for your needs and lifestyle.

As Guildford goes into Tier 4 and many shops and services close yet again, it’s easy to see why so many people are turning to the internet for shopping, banking and entertainment. What about selling houses? Online-only estate agencies are attracting clients in these troubled times, but we believe you’ll always have a better experience with a local estate agent like Cobbles. Here’s why:

We are delighted that the property market is remaining open during England’s second lockdown and that we can continue to operate from our Guildford office. This is great news for our clients too – everyone involved in selling and letting property can continue so long as they observe social distancing.
