Why Elvet Estates
We are a young, enthusiastic, highly qualified team who believe that when you appoint an estate agent to sell your property, that’s exactly what they should do – sell it. We don’t believe in being stereotypical, jargon speaking estate agents. We will advertise your property and then ensure all the facts are available to anyone who is interested in your property. We believe providing facts, honesty, and integrity will sell a property quicker than sales speech. All vendors have access to an online portal to track exactly how well their property is performing on the market and how well we are selling it for them. The portal gives vendors access to online statistics, phone call volumes, viewing statistics, and allows them to compare these statistics to other properties on the market.

Selling Process
Once you have accepted an offer on your property, we will help you with the legal process, from instructing solicitors right through to completion. We have a board of solicitors who we can get competitive quotes from for you, all of which have agreed to a service level agreement to ensure your sale will progress as quickly as it can. We provide updates throughout this process and can provide you with access to an online portal to track the various sales milestones.
