While this article has focused on property adverts, this is just a small aspect of the wider range of services that we provide. These services include – buying, selling, renting, and letting. We also provide a complimentary valuation service to all those who choose to sell or let properties with us.
Sellers
Our property sales service, Dorset customers, is one that’s built on honesty, professionalism, and integrity. We always listed properties with the intention of selling, not to see one more house languish on the market while we soak up fees. We’ll provide a realistic valuation and market your property, managing the process to the point of completion.
We have a dedicated Dorset property sales team who are on hand to answer any questions or handle any concerns you might have.
Perhaps you wish to live by the coast or move into the city, or maybe the countryside is calling your name. Whatever your reasons for selling, we’ll get your property sold in no time.
In short, we offer the following and more:
- Advertising
- Genuine Buyers and Viewings
- Sales Progression
- Access to Mortgage Consultants, Surveys, etc.
Buyers
Whether you’re looking to downsize, upsize, or relocate, our team will find you the right properties based on your preferences and budget. Perhaps you’re a first-time buyer looking for a one-bed flat or looking for something bigger, say, a four or five-bed house. We have an extensive portfolio of properties with viable options available all over Dorset.
Of course, location is just as important, and the good news is that our team have a vast amount of knowledge of Dorset. They can advise you on different areas, including the pros and cons, and provide you with helpful advice and suggestions.
And don’t forget that all our properties come with detailed property adverts, including natural photography and only the most pertinent details.
Tenants
If you don’t yet have the funds to buy a place or aren’t currently interested in owning a property, then renting is the next best option. Prospective tenants who choose to rent with Gordon Barker will be looked after from their initial enquiry to the conclusion of their tenancy.
Whether you’re after a flat, bungalow, house, etc., we have a wide assortment of properties available, ranging in size, location, age, and price. Plus, all our available lettings come with up-to-date particulars, including pertinent details and high-definition photographs.
Please note that Gordon Barker is a member of the ARLA Propertymark and the Propertymark Client Money Protection (CMP) scheme. In addition, we are also proud members of the Property Redress Scheme (PRS). So, you can trust that our team will ensure that your best interests always come first.
Landlords
Since our beginnings as a specialist residential letting agent, we’ve proudly worked alongside countless landlords throughout Dorset. Whether you have a single flat or house or several properties that you’d like to let, we’ll ensure a smooth, stress-free experience. From tenant sourcing and rent collection to comprehensive marketing services, we’ve got all the bases covered.
In addition, landlords can take full advantage of our optional rent guarantee and eviction protection policies, subject to terms and conditions. Being a landlord with Gordon Barker means not having to pay for services you’ve no use for.
If you wish to be hands-on, you can handle the day-to-day managing of the property and leave tent sourcing to us. We’ll find and vet suitable tenants utilising the information we have to hand. We’ll also advise you on compliance matters and provide assistance in the form of property marketing, referencing, tenancy agreements, and first rent and deposit collection.
If you’d like us to handle rent collection, we can do this in addition to the services provided under the tenancy sourcing plan. And if you’d like to be completely hands-off, our full property management plan should be your first choice. Under this plan, we’ll take care of everything, from handling legal responsibilities to tenant sourcing, rent collection, arranging repairs and maintenance visits through trusted contractors, property inspections, and more.
Lastly, we should point out that we’re officially members of the Association of Residential Lettings (ARLA). So, you can trust that we’ll provide you with the highest degree of service. And with our complimentary ‘Lettings Appraisal’ service, you’ll be guaranteed to receive the correct amount of rent.
Free Valuations
If you’re looking to sell your home in Dorset, the first step is to find out precisely how much it’s worth. You can do this in one of two ways – either by requesting an in-person or online valuation. The latter is less accurate, though quicker and more convenient, providing you with a ‘ballpark’ figure that you can follow up on at a later date should you choose to do so.
Online valuations are especially useful if you’re just interested in learning what your home is worth, especially if you haven’t had it valued in a long time or at all. If you do have it valued, then choose to wait a few years before selling, you should always have it valued a second time. We suggest an online valuation followed by an in-person valuation to learn the precise value.
By having a precise value to hand, you can be confident that you’ll be listing your property for the amount it’s worth. This saves you from letting the property go for less than its worth or asking too much and scaring away buyers.
To get your property valued in just 60 seconds, take advantage of Gordon Barker’s FREE online valuation service. Simply fill out our online form supplying the following details, and we’ll come back with an honest, no-obligation valuation of your flat, bungalow, or house:
- Address and Post Code
- Original Purchase Price
- Number of Bedrooms
- Date of Original Purchase
- Age of the Property
- Location
Our Dorset team will return with an estimate of your flat, bungalow, or house’s value. We’ll also supply you with current, detailed information regarding the prices that other properties have sold for in your area.
