The Property History

Located in the old mining village of New Row, just a short drive from Aberystwyth this well loved home was packed with character. The one thing we loved was the garden area. With 4 levels, pedestrian paths, decked areas, lawned area, pond, numerous garden sheds and workshop it had something for everyone.

What We Did

When the owners came to us wanting to sell, we had already seen it on the market with another agent and wondered why it hadn't sold. It was your ideal countryside cottage, it came with stunning mountain views and was the perfect little retreat.

We are known for our Facebook marketing so we came up with a plan. We didn't just place the property on online portals, we used social media marketing and targeted specific buyers. The buyer had seen the property via social media and got in contact right away.

The Result

During lockdown, most of us spent the majority of our time on social media, amazon and ordering online so it was the perfect time to take advantage of social media!

The buyer had put in an offer at FULL asking price and the sale went through without a hitch, resulting in a happy buyer and happy seller.

We are known for our innovative and ambitious ways when it comes to marketing and selling homes. This was a unique and new way of buying and selling homes. It was the moment we realised as agents that homes can be brought and sold based on digital marketing and video viewings.
