"Sandersons sold our house, when others couldn't !
A very professional focussed team always on hand to help and assist from the start to the finish.
All of the team have to be commended.
We would use them again without question to buy or sell a house."

The story

  • 2 previous agents had failed to sell the property over a period of 18 months
  • Sandersons UK were then jointly instructed with 2 other agents - we advise against this approach for many reasons but agreed on this occasion, confident that our involvement could have a positive impact
  • Sandersons UK secured a proceedable buyer intending to move quickly
  • The sale transaction exchanged and completed in a record breaking 4 weeks!


What was the difference?


  • Photography - Our in-house photographer captured engaging images to show this home at its best. Poor marketing by the previous agents could have missed enquiry opportunities.

  • Standing out from the rest- despite the same property being on the market with 2 other agents at the same time, our listing stood out from the rest with eye catching, high quality images and enticing, well constructed written particulars along with a video tour.

  • Proactive negotiators- Following up on enquiries, communicating with all parties, delivering regular feedback on activity, proactive use of our sophisticated buyer database

  • Dedicated progression- The buyer needed to move quickly so our in-house team worked diligently to progress the sale and drive solicitors forward with the transaction as quickly as possible.

"So it's a big well done from us for helping selling "Highfield House”. A special vote of thanks to Heidi for being so helpful and trustworthy and Lynda for progress chasing. You have a great team and its been a pleasure to work with you all."

A colourful Shepton Mallet cottage sat unsold for months—until smarter pricing, standout photography and fresh marketing transformed interest into a successful sale in under two weeks.

Spring is one of the most popular times of year to sell your home. Longer days, brighter light and blooming gardens make properties look their best, while buyer activity naturally increases after winter. If you’re thinking about putting your home on the market this spring, a little preparation can go a long way.

One of our long-term landlords is also now working with us to sell their property. We've worked with him since 1999, and he has recently left us a glowing 5* review so we must be doing something right?

At Sandersons, our fall-through rates sitting between 6–12% in recent years are already far lower than the industry average of 30-35%. But for us, that’s not enough. By securing buyer commitment from the outset, and offering protection of up to £10,000, we’re giving our clients greater certainty and peace of mind when moving home.
