Chain reaction: take the stress out of buying and selling

View all articles

I was recently asked what was the biggest property chain I’ve found myself working in? 

Our Bideford office frequently deals with chains containing 6 properties and occasionally more.

That’s 6 buyers , 6 surveyors, 12 solicitors and countless chances for the deals to fall flat.

We get the deals over the line pretty smoothly with our vendors often saying they felt it wouldn’t have gone through without us.

How did we do it? Well, a good estate agent will have all the names and contact details of everyone involved in the chain.

Then it’s all about keeping on top of things, regularly chasing solicitors or surveyors, speaking with mortgage companies and liaising with clients. Daily if needs be.

At Bond Oxborough Phillipswe a have panels of surveyors, solicitors and removal companies we recommend. Not because we get anything out of it but we know without a doubt that they are all honest, efficient, pro active and professional.

We do everything we can to make a chain run as stress free as possible. It’s usually a lot of hard work but that’s just one of the reasons why we’re regarded so highly by clients we’ve worked for and with.
