Church Farm Barn
Church Farm Barn, Ninfield
We initially looked into purchasing this converted 18th Century barn with adjacent 1.8 acre field. However, after listening to the vendor we realised we could better solve her problem via an assisted sale.
​
By performing a light refurbishment and entering into joint venture with a larger developer on the land we were able to achieve a final sale price 45% higher than the agents initial valuation.
Unlike a regular estate agent we were able to offer a number of value add services to enhance the final sale price of the property. For example we carried out the following renovations:
​​
-
Hired skip and disposed of all unwanted furniture
-
Replaced all carpets
-
Replace light fixtures with spots or new lamp shades
​​
-
Retiled bathroom
-
Repainted all rooms
-
Removed old curtains and replace with blinds
-
Orgnaised full professional clean
-
Tended garden
Regarding the sales process, we undertook the following activities:
​
-
Staged the property with flowers, fresh sheets etc.
-
Arranged professional photography and 3D tour
-
Listed property with online agent
-
Handled all leads using online tool
-
Organised and conducted viewings in person
-
Created objection handling document (buyers concerned about 80+ unit development next door)
-
Shot marketing video highlighting USPs of house
This was the first house we had ever sold and were very happy with the results we achieved:
​
-
First listing to offer, 6 weeks (vs. industry av. 7 weeks)
-
Offer to exchange, 7 weeks (vs. industry av. 9 weeks)
-

-
Handled objections effectively
-
