movewithus performing ahead of the market
12 February 2008
Statistics from the Halifax Price Index show movewithus is outperforming the rest of the UK housing market. Compared to a fall in UK house prices from October to December, movewithus corporate property services finished December with figures showing sales achieved at almost 0.2% above independent valuations. This means that, even in a challenging market, movewithus continue to achieve the maximum value for their developer and asset management clients.
Bucking the trend has only been possible by ensuring that properties are valued according to the market they are being sold to.
Russell Cade, a movewithus founding director, said: “Although we’re extremely happy with these figures, we are not surprised, considering the amount of effort we have put in on behalf of our corporate clients. We didn’t wait for the market to change - we anticipated the slowdown in mid-2007 and concentrated on how we could best assist our corporate clients. This included refining our sales services like Part-exchange and Assisted sale and launching a number of initiatives with our member agents to ensure quick sales.”
Developers are finding that, to secure purchases and hit timescales, they need to take the Part-exchange and Assisted sale options seriously. This is where their association with movewithus comes into its own.
movewithus manage the whole Part-exchange process on behalf of developers; eliminating time spent administering valuations and sales. Our no-sale, no-fee guarantee shows our confidence in our abilities. We have been proactive with our approach, visiting our member agents to make sure they have the correct marketing strategies and that homes are valued accurately to sell quickly.
Russell Cade commented: “We are launching a number of new initiatives in 2008 to make sure that we continue to perform for our corporate clients. We have seen encouraging figures for January and we aim to build on these figures into February and beyond.”
Part of movewithus’ efforts include the imminent launch of whitehotproperty.com, a site that will solely focus on the sale of must-sell second hand property stock on behalf of our developer and lender clients. These properties have no sale chains; have been bought at realistic prices and are marketed to achieve a quick sale. They are perfect for first time buyers and investors who can proceed quickly.
Russell Cade added: “Our sales figures during the past few months are proof that whatever the perceived risk, we can deal with it and continue to outperform the rest of the market. If you’re uncertain about the future, movewithus can be a profitable ally.”
