Estate Services
Estate Agency Marketing
We can take any property to market via the conventional estate Agency route. The process will involve conducting a market valuation and agreeing a realistic sale price for the property. The property will have a marketing board and advertised on our website (www.primeauction.co.uk) as well as Zoopla, OnTheMarket and Rightmove
Marketing via Auction
Taking properties to auction will be determined by two factors, Firstly the condition on the property and the clients appetite to sell quickly with no hassle and secondly where properties do not sell via the conventional estate agency route.
The process we recommend is that we offer the property via online auction with close bids invited 7days before the auction. If both online auction and close bids are not satisfactory we would then place the property in our live auction (www.primeauction.co.uk/auctions/)
Property Services
We understand the issues and concerns solicitors and homeowners face when a property is left vacant and the hassle of getting a property ready for marketing. With this in mind we offer a complete property service and peace of mind for our clients by offering the following additional services:
Clear-out
We can attend site within 24hrs to help clearout all unwanted contents including furniture, carpets and any undesirable fixtures. All items are removed and destroyed safely via approved and licensed contractor. Any reusable items such as furniture and clothing etc we will recycle using Helping Hands and CT Transport Charities. All valuable and items of sentimental value will be safely stored with an inventory list provided.
Storage
We offer safe and secure storage facilities for all items removed. Our storage facility is solely for our use and not shared by any public storage. Our 30,000 sq ft of facility can hold as much or as little as required.
Content Valuation
Valuing house contents can be a laborious task, especially when you don't know exactly what you have or if the items are unique. Establishing the purpose of valuation is crucial before you begin.
A valuation for the purposes of probate is required when someone passes away. It is an estimated current market value of all the possessions within their home that will form part of their estate and can be subject to inheritance tax. It is imperative that this valuation is accurate, if HMRC were to question any of these figures and they were found to be inaccurate, the estate and its executor could be faced with significant penalties.
We have a panel of valuation experts to offer the right advice and valuation for such contents.
Property Protection
Boarding up Windows
Vacant properties and industrial units can unfortunately find themselves the target for misuse by trespassers, squatters and vandals. Windows are one of the easiest entry points as they can be easily broken to gain access to the building. We offer a window & Door boarding service to remove the vulnerability of the windows and ensure nobody gets in to your building.
Unoccupied Insurance
Unoccupied home insurance will keep you covered when your home is left empty, whether short-term (typically 30 days+) or more permanently. Working with a panel of insurers offering bespoke policies, Prime Property Services can help you find the right level of protection for your property.
Valuations & Certification
RICS Valuation
We have in-house RICS qualified Surveyor and can offer RICS accredited Market Valuations, Conditional Reports and Structural Engineers Reports
Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)
It is a legal requirement to have a valid EPC when you rent out or sell the premises and/or a building under construction is finished. Prime Property can take the stress out of finding qualified Domestic Energy Assessor. We have in-house DEA and Retrofit Assessors to carry out all surveys.
Safety Certificates
