You’re not located in the High Street like all the other agents, how do you get interest from buyers?

The way people buy homes has changed. The vast majority of home-buyers, over 85% in fact, search on the internet. Of these, the vast majority will visit rightmove.com to conduct a search of homes for sale.

We also advertise in the local press such as the Gazette, Homes Review and periodicals such as Berkshire Life.

How are you different from the other agents?

We are the first estate agents in Reading to offer a flat-fee service to vendors. We achieve this by keeping our overheads down. We take advantage of the power of the internet to market our clients’ properties to a huge audience of potential buyers. But we also use traditional advertising in the local press – you have the best of both worlds!

I’m already with an agent, can I instruct you as well?

If you are currently using an estate agent, or considering using one, the following conditions apply:

Multiple Agency Agreement
You can use the Reading Homes Direct estate agency service without any obligation to the other agents

Joint Agency Agreement
In this case it is recommended that you request that your current agent's fees remain the same alongside the Reading Homes Direct agreement.

How much will it cost to sell my home?

We provide our vendors a simple choice: a flat upfront fee of £495.00 or 1% no sale, no fee agreement.

How are viewings arranged?

We operate just like a conventional estate agent. This means we make sure that bona fide applicants only view your home, accompanied or not as you prefer at times convenient for you

What happens when you sell my home?

Once you have accepted an offer we will inform all parties involved by sending out sales memorandums - letters that outline the details of the sale which are sent to both sets of solicitors. Buyer and seller will also each receive a copy.
