How to Make the Most of Avocado Property’s Heads Up Property Alerts
So, you’ve just registered for our Heads Up Property Alerts - great news! But what exactly does that mean for you? Let’s walk you through the process and show you how to get the most out of your registration.
Why Register for Heads Up Property Alerts?
By signing up for avocado’s Heads Up Property Alerts, you’re taking a proactive step towards finding your dream home. Think of it as your personal inside track- where you get access to properties before they hit Rightmove or Zoopla. Our partner estate agents at avocado regularly have the opportunity to list or value properties well ahead of time. By being in our system, you’ll receive alerts for those properties ahead of the crowd. It’s like being part of an exclusive club for homebuyers!
Tailor Your Search to Fit Your Needs
When you signed up, you likely noticed the registration form looks a bit like the one used by other property portals. But here’s the difference - you have complete control. You can update your preferences at any time without having to call an agent. If your price range or preferred location changes, simply log in and make adjustments yourself.
But remember: the more specific you are, the better the system can match you to properties that fit your needs. This includes specifying the type of home you’re looking for (detached, semi-detached, etc.) and narrowing down your preferred locations, even down to specific streets, if you wish! If your search is too broad, you may receive irrelevant alerts, so it’s best to fine-tune your settings as much as possible.
Already Own a Home? Consider a Valuation
If you’ve indicated that you own a property but haven’t yet listed it on the market, this is the perfect time to get a valuation. Knowing how much your current home is worth will give you a clear picture of your financial options before you start making offers.
You can book a valuation with one of our expert avocado partners. Our team will provide personalised tips and recommendations to help you boost your home’s value - whether that’s by adding an extra £10,000 or helping it sell faster. We’re here to guide you through the process with advice tailored to your property.
Don’t Forget About Your Mortgage Options
Alongside finding the perfect property, securing the right mortgage is key to making your dream home a reality. At avocado, we work closely with Mortgage Tribe, a trusted mortgage service run by Tom and Ves, who provide expert advice tailored to your needs. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking to remortgage, they’re ready to help.
Through Mortgage Tribe, you can book a completely free initial mortgage consultation to explore your options. The team are passionate about providing excellent service and ensuring you get the best deal.
Enjoy the Process
By using Heads Up Property Alerts, you’re taking control of your property search without the pressure of an estate agent steering you. This is your search, your way. So, enjoy browsing the alerts and adjusting your preferences to find the perfect match. And remember, if you ever need help or advice, we’re always here to assist you.
