DREVER & HEDDLE BOOST BUYER INTEREST BY 30%! - 12/05/2009
As the only local estate agents providing free floor/3d floor plans for every single home they market, Drever & Heddle have welcomed news that a major industry survey has confirmed that floor plans increase buyer interest in a property by a whopping 30%!
This striking statistic is revealed in a recent survey conducted by Rightmove, the UK’s largest property website, into the various marketing strategies employed by agents to make their properties stand out from the online crowd. The survey’s findings are confirmed by Rightmove’s Commercial Director Miles Shipside, who unequivocally states, “Floor plans generate 30% more interest than properties without one.”
“We have always believed that floor plans have a dramatic effect in generating buyer interest, and these figures from Rightmove prove it beyond any doubt,”” says Mike Berston, of Drever & Heddle.
Floor plans are so effective, he explains, because they give a much clearer visual impression of the actual size and layout of a property than photographs can convey on their own. That’s why Drever & Heddle are committed to including floor plans as a standard part of the service the firm offers all its clients, Mike adds. “We consider they are an essential tool in marketing property effectively – particularly in today’s more challenging market.
Home Reports - The Facts - 12/05/2009
The Single Survey which contains a homebuyer’s survey report, a valuation and an accessibility audit for people with particular needs. The Energy Report contains an assessment by the surveyor of the energy efficiency of the home and its environmental impact. It also recommends ways to improve its energy efficiency. These first 2 parts must be carried out by a registered RICS surveyor
The Property Questionnaire is completed by the seller of the home. It contains more information about the property – tax band, septic tank, local authority notices, alterations etc. This part will be completed while we are at the property.
Any properties that have been marketed before today, will not require a home report.
The person marketing the property must provide a home report, that may be the estate agent, or the individual if being marketed privately. Failure to provide a home report to prospective purchasers may result in a penalty charge notice of £500.
