The Property History

Stunning Victorian home, rich in original features and exquisite architectural details. With five large bedrooms, and expansive rooms, the property offered a unique opportunity to own a home a popular area of in Llanbadarn near the hospital and University. As soon as you entered the property its grandeur became apparent; you were met with tall ceilings, moulded ceiling cornices, feature archways, dado rails, and original Victorian pattern tile flooring!

What We Did

Before we meet any potential client, we take a close look into the current marketing. Between Rachel our sales negotiator and Rhian our marketing consultant, we already know everything that is possible to know about the property before putting it on the market. Rachel met the client at the property and spent the first 15 minutes walking around the home getting a true feel of the property.

Together we worked out a plan. We moved furniture, added fresh flowers, dressed each room and had the property touched up. The property was ready for brand new photography and a whole new marketing plan. The professional photo's came out beautifully, and it really showed off the Victorian features this home deserved!


The Result

It didn’t take long, just 18 days in total. We created a fabulous social media marketing campaign which also included one of our personal videos. We ensured this home has a mixed media marketing campaign which included the portals, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and a gorgeous display in our office windows. The home sold for £5,000 under asking price.

A fresh coat of paint can help, but missing paperwork can delay a sale for months. Use August to prepare the information buyers and solicitors will need before an offer is agreed.

The opening fortnight can shape your entire sale. As August 2026 approaches, discover how launch price, timing and buyer readiness can turn early attention into a stronger offer.

A move often starts long before a property is officially listed. If selling within the next few months is becoming a realistic possibility, September is a good time to work out what needs to happen first.

The rental market is still growing, but the way properties are managed has changed. August is a useful time for landlords to review tenancies, rent processes and record-keeping.
