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.
