Dear Adam

56 Rodney Gardens

David and I wanted to thank you for the excellent service we have received from David Charles while you negotiated the sale of our house. Our phone calls and queries were always answered promptly and contentiously by you and all the staff and you never forgot that it was our HOME that you were brining prospective purchasers to view.

Everyone recognises that moving house is a stressful experience and your calm manner and sense of humour was very much appreciated.

This is our sixth house sale and we would have no hesitation in recommending David Charles to others. We really felt as though this independent Estate Agent always kept our interests to the fore, from the time of the valuation of our house by Warren Baker – The Managing Director to the successful negotiation of the sale by yourself, Adam Stimpson.

Many Thanks

Christine Jones

Hello Adam

56 Rodney Gardens

Just a few words to say how much we appreciated your help and expertise in the purchase of Rodney Gardens.

You were very kind, courteous and more than helpful in every way throughout the whole transaction, as I am sure you will recall, having dealt with your goodself on a previous house move, we were not at all surprised to receive such excellent service from you. Thanks also for providing further copies and an e-mail so that we have and can keep pristine details of our new house.

Would you also thank Dean for his help in showing us the first property in “The Glen”, and also the other members of your office who I am sure all helped to make things run smoothly.

Our best wishes therefore to “David Charles Estate Agents” and wish you all well for a very successful future.

Our kind regards

Christine & Colin Saggs

Re: Park View, Hatch End

I thought I should drop a line to say how pleased my mother and I were with what we consider was a successful outcome given the timing which was winter and also the amount of adverse media comment about prospects for the housing market.

The appraisal you gave when you visited the house proved to be pretty accurate, I am reminded of the advert which says the product does what it says on the tin. The way your fees were structured to incentivise a higher price also seemed very fair and sensible. As is usual when selling a house, there were moments when I feared the transaction might run into difficultly, and that this did not happen, owed much to your sound advice and skilful interventions.

Many thanks for enabling my mother to be able to move house with the minimum of delay or hassle.

Yours sincerely

Dear Warren

Re: 14 Colchester Drive, Pinner

Just a quick letter to say thank you for your professionalism with the speedy and pain-free sale of my property.

Your attention to detail, along with your skill of selecting the perfect new owners, has made the process of selling Colchester Drive smooth as it has been, to the point of that it has been quite exciting – not what is normally described as one of the most stressful times of one’s life.

I commend you and your team and wish you all continuing and successful prosperity.

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr Baker

11 Anselm Road

It is hard to believe that after so many years in my old house I have now moved into my new property.

I must thank you and your colleagues for all your valued help and assistance. From the very first meeting your courteous approach and expertise were reassuring and resulted in a very quick sale. All the subsequent transactions were completed very efficiently and smoothly by all parties.

I have no hesitation in recommending your excellent services and wish you all many more successful transactions in the future.

Yours sincerely

HIPS (Home Information Pack) apply to all homes for sale in England and Wales with three or more bedrooms.

A home information pack provides information to a buyer about a property, which they may wish to purchase.  The pack is intended to improve the home buying and selling process.

As legislation currently stands the pack will consist of:

• An energy performance certificate

• Evidence of title

• Sales Statement

• Sellers Information Forms
  
  
• Planning, listed building or building regulations consents

• A home condition report (if requested)

• Where appropriate, commonhold and leasehold information

• A local, drainage & water search

WHY?

It is suggested the pack will improve the buying and selling process.  Under the current systems, key information is withheld from both buyer and the seller until a sale is agreed.  This often results in costly issues arising later in the sale process.  The Government intends that by using a HIP, information will be provided up front enabling the buyer to make an informed decision early on to avoid delays, uncertainties and unnecessary expenses.  The aim is that this new system will be simple and efficient.

At David Charles we are here to make the process as straight forward as possible.  We will instruct a floor plan and Energy Certificate to be undertaken at your property (thereby making only one visit necessary).

We have also managed to keep the cost of producing a HIP to a minimum for our clients at £375 (including VAT)
