The local ranking system enables those looking for an estate agent to find the best local agent to suit their home selling needs.
Home.co.uk’s research shows that local estate agents vary considerably both in terms of average property price and property turnover rate. The new local ranking system allows home sellers to shortlist the local agents that specialise in their price bracket and find which of those agencies can sell homes quickest. Sellers can also browse the types of property each agent is selling and see which portfolio best matches their own property type. The service is UK wide, covering 1,000s of towns, cities and postcode areas.
Doug Shephard of Home.co.uk said: “We have analysed our extensive property search data and broken it down by agent to provide much greater detail. Our users now have access to much more information about estate agents’ selling services than has been previously available.
“For example if you are selling a home that is worth in the region of around £500,000 to £600,000 it’s important to find an estate agent who is used to selling in that price bracket as they have the marketing experience you need and are more likely to have buyers waiting for that kind of property.
“The same goes for the other end of the market: the local agency that specialises in selling one bedroom flats for around £150K may well be the best agency to instruct if that is the kind of property you want to sell.”
