Making moving easier

A second opinion is sometimes required for big decisions-so a ringing endorsement from two estate agents on Redrow’s Mastermove service really provides peace of mind.

Moving house can be a stressful experience, but at Redrow’s Hawthorn Coppice development in Quarry Bank the Mastermove service can make it much easier.

Would-be buyers can use Mastermove, which combines the resources of Redrow and a local estate agent to deal with much of the ‘bureaucracy’ of selling their current property and, most importantly, helps them to find a buyer quickly and with the minimum of fuss. Even better, Redrow will pay the customer’s estate agent fees.

Michelle Brooks, Connells estate agents in Stourbridge, explains how: “Mastermove is a terrific option for people as they can relax while we do all the hard work for them. The customer has no worries as the estate agent fees are paid, viewings are arranged, prices negotiated and lots more as well. The customer gets a whole background team working hard on their behalf to sell their home.”

Using Mastermove makes it easier for house buyers, it will generally speed up the process – often buyers are found within a couple of weeks, sometimes only days -saving money to go towards decorating the new home.

Mandip Sandu, Bairstow Eves estate agents in Brierley Hill adds: “In addition to arranging viewings and price negotiations we will also place the property on rightmove.co.uk - a very popular property website. Customers will also benefit from the use of our extensive mailing list of potential buyers as well as regular advertisements in the Stourbridge News.”

Redrow has also linked up with the UK’s favourite property staging and home styling company, Home Stagers®, to enhance its Mastermove service and help customers achieve the best possible price for their existing property.

Those using the new service will benefit from a ‘Home Sale’ consultation with a locally-based Home Stagers® stylist, who will highlight the ways people can accentuate the positive aspects of their home, perhaps by making relatively simple changes such as painting, accessorising, de-cluttering or defining a room’s purpose.

The stylist will also provide advice on the best way to show prospective purchasers around, subsequently providing a written report confirming the advice given, together with a bespoke checklist of things they can do to increase the chances of turning viewings into offers.

At Redrow’s Hawthorne Coppice development in Quarry Bank a professional interior design company has dressed, decorated, furnished and fitted the Lambourne style home to give home hunters a real sense of just how stylish a Redrow property can look.

The ground floor of this delightful home contains the cloakroom, lounge and dining area and kitchen. The first floor contains two bedrooms which benefit from a shared bathroom. The master bedroom on the second floor has an en-suite meaning no early morning queues for the bathroom to contend with.

Located off Thorns Road, Quarry Bank near Brierley Hill, Hawthorn Coppice has good access to the motorway network and the city shopping, culture and leisure facilities of Wolverhampton and Birmingham.

However, you don’t have to go to the city to get your home comforts, Dudley and Brierley Hill are close-by offering a wealth of local amenities and the Merry Hill shopping centre, with its 260 shops under one roof, is the perfect diversion for shopaholics.
