Local Expertise
Buyers overwhelmingly prefer to work with local experts, whom they regard as “in the know”. VitalSpace have operated in the south Manchester area for over 15 years and we know your local property market. So choose a well-established local agent, and preferably one that knows both your property style and applicants looking in the area
Our Director
Choose an agent that is owned and run by property professionals who are interested in your sale, rather than by people who are simply employed to list your property. Ask yourself, can you get hold of the Director when and if you needed to? VitalSpace is personally run and managed by the Director – Richard can be contacted anytime on 0161 747 7807.
Valuation
We are very happy to offer a free Market Appraisal of your property where our Director will attend your home to discuss your proposed move in detail to understand your requirements. You will receive a detailed explanation of the current market and a realistic understanding of what you should expect to achieve for your property reinforced by a full marketing strategy with advice on how to sell your property in your desired time scale. To arrange your free property valuation please click here. Beware! It is well-known that some agents deliberately over-value in order to impress you to secure your instruction, so don’t fall into the trap of simply choosing the agent with the highest valuation. The issue of correct valuation is paramount. It is critical that you appoint an agent who has a track record of successful sales in your area.
Commission
Many sellers are unaware of the considerable differences between agencies and have no alternative than to decide whom to appoint on the level of commission charged. This is often a huge mistake and is a bit like buying a car purely on price considerations. All cars go from A to B, but the vast price differential is related to issues of quality, reliability, security, performance and the whole driving experience.
The same is true of estate agents. Some agents simply cannot afford to provide a level of service that is either effective, or makes the selling experience hassle-free. For example, they are often the last firms to provide adequate staff training or post-offer support resulting in missed offers, slower sales and lower prices. Cut- price estate agents usually require a higher turnover of stock in order to survive and they are therefore likely to be less concerned about securing the best price for their clients, The net amount in your pocket is surely more important than the percentage fee charged!
Communication
Many Estate Agents only contact their clients when they have good news. At VitalSpace, we like to keep our clients informed every step of the way. Frequent contact with clients allows us to provide the best possible advice based on current market activity. Keeping you up to date with progress, advertising and feedback is extremely important to us, after all, you’re probably thinking about your property move almost daily.
Enthusiasm
An agent should be enthusiastic about your property. At VitalSpace, we have a genuine passion, dedication and enthusiasm for your property move. A positive approach to selling your home is essential to attracting buyers and promoting your property in the best light.
Viewings
We offer accompanied viewings 7 days a week carried out by one of our experienced staff who are specialists in your local market. Our research shows that people identify better with a new property if they do not associate it with the current occupants. Viewers want to imagine how they would live there, use the space, make changes, elements which are difficult if they are being shown round by the current occupiers. People are much more comfortable asking an agent about the property, than asking the current occupants. VitalSpace provide the viewers a chance to offer feedback from all viewings allowing our team to obtain an understanding of their thoughts on any property we are marketing.
Professional Photography
High quality presentation is vital to sell your home. Most agents employ untrained staff to take their marketing photographs. Your home will stand or fall in the market based on the quality of the photos taken. If you think about how buyers search for property, the photographs are always the first thing they see – on the internet, in window displays and on sales brochure. VitalSpace have found that using a professional photographer, we can increase the traffic to our property details.
Floorplans
Good estate agents provide floor plans for their client. Floor plans make life easier for buyers, not only does it make life easier but it is proven that your property attract 30% more interest from websites visitors. Viewers will be able to visualize and remember more about your home and they can scribble on a printed plan. Floorplans also improve the quality of viewings as your prospective buyer is more knowledgeable prior to arranging to view your property.

Internet
In today’s fast paced property market, the internet is an exceptionally valuable tool in estate agency. VitalSpace advertise your property on a variety of property websites including Rightmove.co.uk and Onthemarket.com. The internet is a 24 hour window to your home from which our properties generate thousands of visitors per week. When we place a property on the market, we will ensure your property stands out from the crowd, with eye-catching descriptions, professional photography and HD video’s. Our website – www.vitalspace.co.uk has been professionally developed and optimised to appear on the first page of Google and has successfully won prestigious industry awards voted by property marketing experts.
Video
Our full motion video guides include a genuine video walkthrough of our client’s properties, followed by your own bespoke aerial location guide. There really is no better way to market your property. VitalSpace have found that we generate more physical viewings on properties when a video is included as part of our marketing, and since those viewers have already seen your home on video, they are better qualified – almost like a second viewing.
Property Portals
Over 80% of buyers use the internet when looking for a property. So you need to be sure that your property is found and promoted – quickly and easily. An agent might have a great website, and that’s fine, but do they subscribe to the most effective property portals, because this is how buyers are directed to your property when they search using the search engines such as Google, Ask Jeeves, Excite or Yahoo. Two of the UK’s market-leading property sites are Rightmove and OnTheMarket. Good agents list their clients’ property on several of these websites, but very few list on all. But if you want maximum coverage leading to more buyers and therefore the chance to achieve the very highest price for your home, then you really should use an agent who subscribes to these major portals.
Sole Agency
Lots of estate agents include a tie in period within their terms. If you end up not getting on with them or become unhappy with their service, you may wish to terminate the agreement. At VitalSpace, our focus is customer service and thus we provide ultimate flexibility to all our clients. We believe that if you are unhappy with our service, you should have the right to terminate at any time.
Dedicated sales progression
Some Estate Agents think that once a purchaser has been found, their work is complete. At VitalSpace we employ dedicated sales progressor’s. Our progression staff will hold your hand through this essential part of the selling process which begins with the offer being accepted and continues right through the legal proceedings until the exchange of contracts and completion. With the assistance of our team we can prevent sales being lost and provide adequate communication with surveyors or solicitors. Our dedicated staff are trained to identify potential conveyancing difficulties before they arise by spending 100% of their time working on your property transaction to ensure successful outcome
