Cooper Adams provides a comprehensive selling service, tailored to your needs – including free, expert advice every step of the way. Unlike many agents, we do not insist on a contract: this encourages us to get the best result for you quickly and also demonstrates our confidence in selling your property.

When you are ready to commence marketing, we will prepare high quality full colour sales literature with photos and floor plans then embark on an intensive press and internet marketing campaign. We advertise with many of the Sussex Property newspapers and quality magazines and are registered with all the top internet search engines and property portals.

Our purchaser database always has a steady stream of buyers looking for properties like yours and we contact every one of them to arrange an accompanied viewing. We have been chosen by the highly respected movewithus (UK’s number 1) property network exclusively in this area. There are over 1000 members in the UK and over 50 in London who regularly refer prospective purchasers to us. Members of the movewithus network are chosen for their high quality estate agency service, excellent value, in depth local knowledge and industry leading service.

When an offer is made on your property, we thoroughly check the purchaser’s financial position and ability to proceed, then negotiate the best price for you. Once the sale is agreed, we will of course keep you fully informed (including advice on moving costs, legal fees and mortgages if required) and ensure the sale proceeds smoothly to completion.

Contact us today to arrange a free valuation and market appraisal of your property.

We can organise the Home Information Pack (HIP) for you from £249 + VAT with conveyancing or for an increased amount this can be paid on completion (please enquire for full details).

The tips below will help you maximise interest in your home and get the very best price for it. Of course, if you need more advice and information, we’re always on hand to answer your queries.

1. Before consulting an estate agent, look at your home objectively - both inside and outside. Is it really presented to its best advantage? Are there small, inexpensive upgrades you could make that would significantly enhance the price?

2. Give it curb appeal - Make sure the front garden, pathway and fence are well-kept, with pretty flowers and a neat front lawn as first impressions really count. A newly-painted front door can make a huge difference to the way visitors perceive your home.

3. De-clutter your rooms thoroughly. Selling a home is about marketing a lifestyle, and a disorganised home will prove hard to market.

4. Clean the whole house thoroughly, from cobwebs on the ceiling to crumbs and stains on the carpet. Don’t forget to wash down paintwork and clean windows.

5. If possible, redecorate your home in neutral, earthy colours. Magnolia is the best colour for walls when selling your home.

6. Add a splash of colour via well-chosen accents, cushions or accessories.

7. Remove personal items such as children’s drawings and family photographs, so buyers focus on your home and not your possessions.

8. Finish off small DIY jobs, such as touching up chipped woodwork and replacing washers on dripping taps.

9. Use lighting to create the right mood, choosing different styles for each space – maybe downlights and lamps in the sitting room and a much brighter scheme in the kitchen.

10. Create a pleasant scent – whilst it may be a cliché to grind coffee beans or bake bread, scent plays an important part in creating the right impression. For this reason, don’t cook smelly food such as fish or curry before a viewing!

11. Leave windows open, so the house is fresh and airy.

12. Take pets out during viewings.

13. Flowers and a fruit bowl will brighten up any room and provide a pleasant aroma. However, do remember to replace them regularly so that they are fresh!

14. Organise your rooms logically, so that each has a clear purpose – this will require a lot less imagination on the part of the buyer.

15. Finally, major property upgrades are sometimes a good idea, but not always! There is no point whatsoever in spending £20,000 on building works and redecoration if it will only add £10,000 to the value of your home.
