Selling a home can often be stressful, especially so following the death of a family member.
Living hours away from Gloucester, Mrs Howes was faced with selling her father’s home but was both unfamiliar with the area and unsure which agent she could trust with the task.
Having seen our reviews on Google, she turned to our Abbeymead office for help.
Happy to assist, our expert valuers priced the property accurately and realistically, and thanks to our extensive list of prospective buyers, the home sold within 24 hours — before even going onto the market.

Not only did it sell fast, but it also sold for above the asking price, exceeding all of Mrs. Howes’ expectations.
Here’s what she had to say about the experience:
“I had the best service from the Abbeymead branch. They were so informative and proactive, and I never had to chase them for anything. Friendly yet professional, they all went above and beyond to sell my property—which they did within 24 hours!
They were amazing. This was a difficult probate case for me, and they were so understanding, which made all the difference.”
The property, which was described as needing some internal modernisation, has now found new life. It was purchased by a couple of first-time buyers who plan to renovate and make it a great family home.

This is just one of many examples of the excellent customer service The Property Centre's Abbeymead branch have achieved, get in contact today to see how they can help you.
