After spending an entire year on the market with a larger estate agency without achieving a sale, the owners of this property decided it was time for a different approach. In August 2025, they instructed Chas Lowe to take over the marketing of their home.
From the very beginning, it was clear this was not going to be a standard sale. The property had an unusual layout which meant buyers needed help seeing its full potential. Rather than simply relisting the property and hoping for different results, James worked closely with the owners to identify practical changes that would improve how the home presented during viewings.
The impact was immediate. Interest increased quickly and within the first two months two acceptable offers had already been agreed. However, as many experienced sellers know, agreeing a sale is only one part of the journey. Both transactions unfortunately fell through, creating understandable frustration after so much early momentum.
Despite the setbacks, the team remained committed to finding the right buyer and keeping the sale moving forward. The property continued to be actively marketed while careful buyer management and ongoing communication helped maintain confidence during a difficult period.
That persistence eventually paid off in December 2025 when a new buyer was secured and an offer accepted. From there, the focus shifted to navigating the transaction through to completion — a process that would take several more months and require significant after-sales involvement, negotiation, and problem solving along the way.
In March 2026, the sale finally completed successfully.
For the sellers, the difference was not simply in generating viewings, but in the determination, honesty, and hands-on support required to guide a challenging transaction all the way through to the finish line.
The result was this five-star review from the homeowners:
“We have just sold our house with Chas Lowe having failed to sell over the course of a year with another, much bigger firm. We were glad we made the change. Our house had an unusual layout which doesn’t appeal to everyone. James immediately suggested several changes that made perfect sense and were implemented immediately. We soon realised that any estate agent can gather viewers but it takes resilience and a certain talent to get those viewers to buy your house. After sales, especially with tricky buyers , is where Chas Lowe earned their cut ten fold. Anthony was absolutely excellent. These guys clearly know their business. They are straight talkers and get the job done. We absolutely recommend them to anyone and wouldn’t hesitate to use their services if we ever move home again.”
