Home » Sales

Every property is different, and so is the right way to sell it. Some owners want discretion, others want maximum exposure, and most sit somewhere in between. That is why we work in two stages rather than one. We can start by matching your property against our own database of buyers, quietly and without public advertising, before deciding together whether a full public campaign is the next step. Either way, the goal stays the same: the right buyer, the best price, and a move that goes smoothly from valuation to completion.

Some of the best properties never reach a portal. We match serious buyers to your home based on the criteria that matter to them, not just price, drawing on relationships built over years. No public advertising. No open viewings. Speak to your local office to find out more.

Some homes are made to be seen by everyone. A full campaign puts yours on Rightmove, our own website and specialist portals including OnTheMarket, and equestrianproperty4sale. Professional photography and floorplans present your home at its best, and social media carries it further. We manage every step, from first viewing to final negotiation.

Even if you are not ready to sell yet, it helps to know where you stand. A free, no-obligation valuation gives you a clear, honest figure from someone who knows your local market, with no pressure to act on it straight away.

We were delighted with the way Brad and colleagues handled our rental application. It wasn't straightforward but common sense and professionalism prevailed. Very highly recommended.

Very easy to work with the Estate Agent section. They were friendly, professional and very patient over the ups and downs of the sale of a piece of Agricultural land.

We engaged Batcheller Monkhouse to manage the planning applications for our solar PV project, which involved coordinating and progressing three separate planning applications concurrently across multiple hospital sites. Their service throughout was exceptional. The team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, expertise, and responsiveness from the outset. Managing three applications simultaneously required careful coordination, attention to detail, and proactive communication, all of which were delivered to an exceptionally high standard. They provided clear guidance throughout the planning process, ensured submissions were completed efficiently, and kept all stakeholders informed at every stage. Their knowledge of the planning system, combined with their ability to manage multiple complex applications in parallel, was instrumental in keeping the project on track. Any queries or challenges were dealt with promptly and professionally, and their collaborative approach made them a pleasure to work with.

We received excellent assistance in the purchase of our new house. Very quick to respond, and very amenable when return visits were required. Helped us to renegotiate when things proved a little difficult. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend, a thoroughly professional but approachable company.

Christine at Batcheller Monkhouse as well as being professional, pragmatic and diligent always engages with a smile and with full mind and heart attached to whatever she is working on. It was great to collaborate on planning procedures with her, something I have never really relished as part of a projects process, but one made smooth and enjoyable by the clarity she brings to the process. Highly recommended

The only reliable answer comes from a local valuation because online estimates cannot account for condition, your property location, or what is actually selling nearby right now. A free valuation from your local office gives you a figure you can act on, with no obligation to sell.

It varies by property type and price bracket, but a typical sale, from instruction to completion, tends to take three to six months once a buyer has been found. Rural and higher-value properties can take longer to secure the right buyer, which is one reason an off-market phase can be valuable. It allows serious buyers to be identified discreetly before a property’s time on the market becomes public.

An off-market sale means we match your property against our own database first, quietly and without public advertising. A full marketing campaign puts your property on Rightmove, as well as our website and specialist portals along with photography and floorplans. Many sellers start off-market and move to a full campaign if a buyer is not found quickly.

You do not have to, but specialist knowledge is often more important for this type of property than for a standard house sale. Buyers, planning history and land use can all affect value in ways that a general agent may not recognise. That is why our rural and equestrian sales teams work closely with our planning and valuation specialists.

Fees vary by agent, property value and the type of marketing campaign chosen. We will always set out our fee structure clearly at valuation stage, before you commit to anything, so there are no surprises later.
