Buy off market, market off market! Don't miss out! #Spencer #Sheffield #Estateagent

Are you missing out on properties by not talking to the local estate agents? 

We regularly speak to people who are gutted that they have missed out on a property and yet don't want to be put on our mailing list because they search Rightmove & Zoopla regularly or get alerts from them. 

What a mistake!

If you register with us not only do we send an email out to our applicants first when a house comes to market, we also send out a seasonal newsletter about the Sheffield housing market including houses which are coming soon and let people know about properties that are not being actively marketed online. Recently we dealt with a £1.5 million stunner of a house but we hadn't even taken the photos, let alone put it online, when it sold! This is because we know a handful of people looking for their perfect home at that price bracket so we called them, booked in viewings for them and then worked with the buyers, sellers & solicitors to get the sale through to exchange of contracts & completion.  

This isn't just the case for private buyers but for developers too. We regularly get calls from sellers of blocks of apartments, land, and tenanted properties that they want to sell without the hassle of tons of viewings... you could be missing out on a great investment opportunity if we don't already have your details. 

If you'd like to register, it takes two minutes to call and speak to one of the lovely members of the Spencer team to register your details and to be added to the mailing list so give us a call on 0114 2683682 in office hours or email your details to us at Sales@SpencersEstateAgents.co.uk and make sure you don't miss out on your dream home! 

Don't forget to check us out on social media, you'll be the first to know about new houses and lust over some amazing interiors too.

Estate Agents - are they all the same? #Sheffield #Spencer #Blog #SpencersAgents

"They’re all the same!"

Blog by Chris Spooner, our Senior Valuer at Spencer

I was in a well-known coffee shop last week when I happened to over-hear a conversation where two people were discussing a recent experience of choosing an estate agent. "I went for the agent who had the lowest fee because when you break it down they're all pretty much the same." This comment managed to make me experience sadness, disappointment, anger and happiness all in a 20 second moment but thankfully happiness was the emotion I felt for the most of that day.  I went back to the office to be greeted by our office manager who had a smile that was bigger than a Cheshire cat’s! The reason for her happiness was a vendor who had just been into the office to drop off a set of keys for the sale of their house which had just completed. Behind her on the desk were four bottles of wine, a bunch of flowers, and two cards, which had comments thanking us for all our help. This particular vendor has had plenty of recent experience with estate agents both as a buyer and seller so it was even more satisfying to read his praise of our team for all of our efforts. He was keen to point out that my initial marketing valuation was in the middle of three that he had received when looking to find a suitable agent, and he also was happy to admit that we weren't the cheapest agent to quote for his business. The results though were that we achieved a sale price higher than the highest valuation he'd received with a service that he couldn't find even the smallest of faults with. He couldn't believe the difference between using ourselves and the previous agent he used less than three years ago who at the time he chose because he thought all estate agents were the same! 

If you're thinking of selling your home in the near future and also think estate agents are all the same, please come down to our office for a cuppa and chat so we can try to help you see how different we might just be.

Renting can be scary - not with #Spencer of #Sheffield

Renting can be scary!

Here at Spencer we specialise in helping first time renters. It can be a very daunting moving into your first home or even moving from an owned property in to a rental property but we are here to help. We talk tenants through every step of the way making it as stress free and as clear as possible. We offer a ‘hand held’ service to anyone one who needs one.

Here are a few bits of information you may find helpful.

Once you have decided you are wanting to rent a property you now need to decide:

How long do you want the tenancy for? We usually suggest 6 or 12 months to start with (6 months being our minimum)

What can you afford? The letting agent or landlord should be able to advise what you can afford monthly based on what you earn.

Decide which area you would like to rent in

How many bedrooms?

Are you wanting it furnished or unfurnished?

Do you have pets?

Most letting agents insist that people view a property prior to taking an application and we are no different. We need to ensure you like the property and have seen it for your own eyes. We understand how important it is to be happy in your home and feel that if you are happy at home than you are able to deal with the rest!

Read up on who you are potentially going to be letting the property through and look out for landlords who belong to an accreditation scheme. You may find a fantastic property to rent however the letting agent or landlord could be dreadful and not look after you whilst you are in there. Always read reviews!

Check all fees before you agree to anything. Some companies have hidden fees for example: tenancy renewal agreement fees, check in and out fees.  By law, a breakdown of all fees should be clearly visible to you in the letting agent’s office and on their website.

Please ensure you have the correct documentation ready when applying for a property. Landlords and agents will want to confirm your identity, current and previous address, immigration status, credit history and employment status. They will want to see your passport and visa and /or residence permit (if you have one).  Also if you have bad credit history please declare it at this point so we can advise the best way to get you through the referencing.

Also check which government scheme your deposit will be registered with throughout the duration of the tenancy. This must be done by law and will protect you.

When moving in to a property please ensure you have from your landlord or letting agent (as a minimum):

Copy of the signed tenancy agreement

Copy of the most recent How to Rent Guide

Valid Gas Safety Certificate (if gas in the property)

Deposit protection information

Copy of the Energy Performance Certificate

A detailed inventory with photos. If you are not supplied with an inventory by the agent or landlord, please do your own inventory along with photos with dates and times on.  This is to protect you at the end of the tenancy.

Never be too scared to ask questions or query things you are unsure about.  Everything should be very clear for you to understand. If you wish to discuss renting any of our properties or would like us to rent out your property, please contact the office on 0114 2683682, email rent@spencersesateagents.co.uk or pop in to the office based on Ecclesall Road.
