Avocado Case study of Success #013

Avocado Case study of Success #013

This was a lovely cottage in Blackwater and we are so pleased that such a lovely couple have moved in. They fell in love with the house after seeing it and agreeing the sale was the easy part. However there was some issues with the solicitors on both sides and as a result this transaction needed a lot of assistance.

Neither legal rep on each side communicated with each other, paperwork was incorrectly typed and there was a need for an estate agent to truly be involved all the way through keeping everyone informed to avoid unwanted surprises. The mortgage was a change of address from another sale that had fallen through and this also needed to be carefully dealt with due to the rate not being available anymore either.

On paper a no onward chain sale to a nothing to sell buyer should be simple but some times there are lots of balls in the air and experience is vital. Conveyancing companies at the moment are causing a lot of issues for owners and buyer. Pick carefully and hand on heart we advise recommendations for solicitors based on quality.

Both clients are super happy now and here is the review text from the vendor:

“Ian has sold my house. From start to finish the service has been first class and he has offered a truly brilliant service. Every word he says on his videos is true and he offers a superior and different offering to his competitors."

You might be closer to the end… or further from freedom than you realised.

Let’s call it what it is: being on the market with no real progress is frustrating.

As we kick off the year, East and Central Swindon’s property market is active but calm. Homes are selling, buyers are engaged and transactions are ticking over but this is no race. In 2026, it’s timing, local competition and clear pricing that shape results not just putting a home online and hoping for the best.

If you are thinking about moving home in Carlisle and you’re looking for an estate agent who puts your needs before the transaction, then I would love you to get to know me.
