Meadway, Leighton Buzzard

Two semi-detached new build houses

In May 2019 we first me this developer as he had secured a parcel of land in a popular residential location in Leighton Buzzard and was granted planning permission for two individual semi-detached houses, building started that same month. We proceeded to offer them both for sale in August 2019 with the construction beginning. As the build neared an end the properties went under offer , both to first time buyers and both managed to complete and move in successfully the following year!

During this process we were able to add our input into the fittings and build, as well as assist our seller with registering to sell the properties to buyers with help to buy finance.

Dingle Dell, Leighton Buzzard

Four bedroom detached house

This property was located on one of the most sought after cul de sac’s in Leighton Buzzard, just off Plantation Road. The house was in extensive disrepair and required renovation throughout, making it uninhabitable at the time of marketing.

Due to the sad and unforeseen passing of the owners, the property was sold on the open market for the first time ever and attracted a lot of attention with many viewings being carried out before a sale was agreed to a lovely family. They were moving from just down the road and yearned to acquire the house as their forever home, exploiting the huge potential on offer.

West Dock, The Wharf, Linslade

Two bedroom apartment

This apartment was one the vendors originally purchased through our agency back in 2014 and after several years in the property, they were in a position to upsize into a house. They proceeded to market the property with an online agency first in July 2021, with limited interest and no agreed sale. We then proceeded to market the property at the end of 2021, with a successful sale being agreed shortly after.

However, in the wake of a vastly different fire safety backdrop regarding apartment blocks,  the after sales process was met with long winded challenges from early on. A combination of EWS1 certification and often protracted third party communications, all resulted in some going back and forth for months. A combination of motivated seller, a patient and understanding buyer, and of course a tenacious agent managed to get the sale over the line and enabled a downsizing couple to acquire the smaller home they so desired.

Jupiter Drive, Planets Estate, Leighton Buzzard

Three bedroom semi-detached house

Over the past 5 years we have successfully sold this property three times! This house was first sold by our team back in January 2017, when Bovis homes Instructed us on a house moving scheme. We agreed a sale to a couple from Watford who had plans to extend and refurbish the house for their daughter to live in as her first house.

In August the works were completed and after a change of circumstance the property was Instructed to be re-sold to the open market where we agreed a sale to a local couple who were first time buyers, in the first week!

Then once again in May 2021, we were instructed again to market this property as the first time buyers were now upsizing locally and for the third time successfully we agreed a sale of over £20,000 above asking price, thus ending the chapter of sales.

High Street, Eaton Bray

Two bedroom semi detached cottage

This property is located on the main high street going through the village of Eaton Bray, believed to date back to the 1890’s and was once a former butchers shop. The reason for this sale was that this once belonged to a lady for many years who had sadly passed away and her daughter lived next door.

On our initial meeting in May 2021 with the client we offered good advice to improve the property in certain areas and offered guidance on the best way to market the house for sale when the time was right. We provided opinion on a sale price months in advance, which was, at the time, higher than other local estate agent opinions. Our prediction was that a rising market, coupled with a high standard of improvement works would see great rewards for the client.

In October 2021 the works were finished, and we proceeded to market the property for the value we suggested and succeeded in achieving the full asking price in a few weeks! The completion took place in March 2021 and the client was over the moon with the level of service from beginning to end!

Nicolson Drive, Billington Park

Detached House

This house was the original sales office for Bovis Homes when Billington Park was first in development with the plots being sold in 2003/04. The property was one of the largest and most desirable styles to have been built on the area which fronts directly onto the running track and Astral Park.

The owners made it a family home before relocating to the USA in 2008. Our lettings team then proceeded to manage the property for 13 years. Finally, the time came when a decision was made to sell the property in November 2021 thus completing a very long relationship of successful letting and ultimately selling.

Cotswold Drive, Linslade

Four bedroom detached house

This property first came to market originally in September 2017 when the vendors were on the search for their forever family home, which was an upsize for them in a very specific location in Linslade of just a few named roads. We secured countless viewings and offers, as well as agreeing two sales to the buyers that agreed to wait, but our vendors just could not find their dream property.

Our sales team walked streets posting leaflets to find that special home for them and eventually they secured their onward purchase, a sale was then agreed. The chain completed in October 2019, a dream move two years in the making!

Whitehouse Cottage, Eggington

Detached House

This was a remarkable property which was completely individual in both its character and its history, being built in 1850 as the stables for the parsonage in the village, which was then converted into residential usage back in the 1950’s. The property was on the market for just under a year from September 2018 to July 2019, with an online only estate agency with no sale.

In September 2020, we met the vendors and agreed a marketing strategy for them which consisted of an open day set up to secure the best price for them. In just one single weekend of viewings we received four offers and agreed a sale at the full asking price to a young couple re-locating from out of the area.
