In these strange times the summer has felt all the stranger for not being out and about, supporting local activities in our neighbourhoods of Penge and Sydenham. As proud sponsors of many SE26 and SE20 community events (Sydenham Arts output, Spontaneous Productions shows, Penge Day and local school fairs to name just a few!) it's certainly taken some adjustment.

Thankfully, signs are positive with regard to South East London's property market and demand is still high. We're busy but can't wait to celebrate our area and it's wonderful community again. Stay safe.

PropertyWorld is egg-static to participate in SE20's Easter fun once again and we hope to see you and your little ones - we'll be well stocked with chocolate so do stop by!

For details please follow Penge Tourist Board Events on Facebook.

Our corner of London is a fantastic place to be in summer.

We're delighted to share that this week PropertyWorld achieved British Property Awards' Best Letting Agent in SE26!

This award is based on market share, letting performance & customer service measured by mystery shopping. Our Lettings Consultant Ben took the most recent mystery shop call and scored 5 out of 5 on all three measures – helpfulness, demeanour and knowledge. They were very impressed with his performance and couldn’t fault him. Great work Ben!

The start of 2020 has been exceptionally busy, with confidence coming back in spades on the back of a clearer political position and clarity over Brexit.  If you are planning a move this year, or simply want to understand your property’s current worth then please call your award winning local agent for an accurate but honest valuation, and our view on the current market and year ahead.

Welcare are collecting gift vouchers for families in need this year and as part of our ongoing support for their brilliant work we have set up donation points in our offices. All amounts and varieties will be very gratefully received - The One4All voucher would be a great choice.

Any new and unwrapped toys that are/have already been donated will be passed on to another charity collection in the area. As always, thank you for your generosity!

"We had plants, cakes, Mother’s Day gifts and a human fruit machine. PropertyWorld kindly sponsored our children’s raffle. Thanks to them we were able to buy some brilliant, desirable toys and so the children not only had fun playing the raffle, but also got to take home great prizes. We’re enormously grateful to PropertyWorld for their support."

This is a subject that comes up regularly for PropertyWorld as high street agents. TheAdvisory, the UK’s only dedicated independent consumer advice group for home sellers, has recently shared research* with some very interesting findings, concluding that the right high street agent can:

1. Increase viewing numbers by 48%
2. Increase offer numbers by 64%
3. Generate a more secure buyer (or buyer willing to pay a better price) 73% of the time.
4. Secure a 5% higher sale price (compared to using a Rightmove listing service).

The best high street agents, like us, bring a proactivity to the mix that online agents just can't. Drawing on our years of expertise and comprehensive buyer database enables us to get our clients the best price with minimal stress and disruption.

To discuss the sale of your property get in touch with us, your local and award winning family estate agent!

Now, after a well-earned five year hiatus, the Brothers are reviving their pick of the best pieces, dusting them down, giving them a new lease of life, and occasional mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to entertain, bamboozle, confuse and possibly outrage those of a sensitive nature. Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of the Brothers Kaufman!

“Some extremely hilarious moments…If you are a fan of surrealist comedy, you should definitely give it a go.” (Female Arts review of Ocelot Resurrection, 2013)

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by our Penge office yesterday as part of the Halloween Trail - it was brilliant to say hello, and to see so many of your little ones in terrifying costume!

We're very excited to confirm that Kevin's dedication and hard work recently received the recognition it truly deserves in this year's allAgents 2018 People Awards.

These awards are based purely on customer feedback, so thank you to our wonderful clients for taking the time to review our service, and here are a few words from our main man, Kevin:

“I am now into my 16th year as an estate agent and still loving it. I’m a people person and love houses, so this job was made for me. I really like the personal touch that comes from working with a family run estate agents - Property World’s ethos centres around honesty and integrity, and that sits well with me. It’s just easier to be nice.

This job should be easy - all I have to do is match the right person with the right property. I need to know as much as I can about the buyers needs right from the outset, and ask the right questions when the initial call comes in. Sometimes it takes one viewing, sometimes twenty, but if you know exactly what the client’s needs are then you're already halfway there.
 
Knowledge is power and turning up to viewings on time with all the information a buyer will want is a must - it’s shocking the amount of viewers who, when you first meet them, will tell you that the estate agent they had met at a previous property didn’t have the lease length, ground rent or service charge information.
 
I am so proud to have received the award for Best Estate Agent in London. It’s really warming to know that the reviews have come direct from both vendors and buyers. I will be looking to carry this onto 2019, so watch out London agents - I’m looking to keep this crown”.

The allAgents 2018 People Awards are based entirely on feedback from clients rating and sharing their customer service experiences, and are the UK's largest free customer awards scheme for agents and people working within the property industry.

We're absolutely delighted to confirm that the PropertyWorld team has won in 10 categories of the AllAgents People Awards 2018, including Best Estate Agent in the UK 2018 (Kevin Owen), Best Overall Agent in London (Dan Crowley & Kevin Owen), and Best Overall Agents in SE20 & SE26 (Jason Ramsarran, Nicky Clarke-Thraves, Dan Crowley, Kevin Owen, Andrea De Roche, Sarah Wilson, Richard Crowley & Caroline Cronin). 

We want to congratulate our amazing team for all of their hard work, and thank our wonderful clients for taking the time to review our (award-winning) service!

Here's the full list of our awards:

As the number of online agents increases we're often asked what sets us, as high street agents, apart from this growing sector of competition.

PropertyWorld was established 21 years ago and is a local family business. Our owners Richard and Dan Crowley have grown up and lived in the areas we operate in, and their expertise is unrivalled. Being part of the community, living and working in the area, gives our team insight and local expertise that’s appreciated by our buyers and sellers alike.

From day one we set out to deliver exceptional results on behalf of clients; to be honest and trustworthy, and to provide the best customer service possible. As a result vendors will never incur upfront or hidden fees, and if for any reason a property does not sell there is no charge. Online agents that take fees upfront have less incentive to work hard to secure a sale, whereas we have a genuine desire to achieve the best possible price from buyers in the best position, minimising stress and disruption to sellers as far as possible.

When it comes to online agents your signature on the contract is when they start caring less, whereas for us that's when we start caring more. Our flexible but hands-on approach means that we will always conduct viewings at times convenient to you. Using our years of experience we will help you to get your property looking its best (with our free house doctor service) so potential buyers can see how your property could be an excellent fit for them.

There is no replacement for face-to-face conversation, and being able to speak directly to the agent conducting viewings of your home. You will have the mobile numbers of both the Director and Sales Manager looking after you so you can always reach us, anytime.

Our reviews show that over 99% of our clients would recommend our services to friends and family, ranking us No.30 of 15,300 UK agents. In 2017 we were delighted to win AllAgents award for 'Best Small Chain in the UK', testament to our team's hard work and dedication to making the process of buying and selling as painless and as smooth as possible. We care about what we do and the people we’re working with.

The result? On average we find buyers within 4 weeks and over 91% of our sales successfully complete. We achieve full asking price on over 60% of our properties (the UK average is 27%).

By contrast, recent research by GetAgent (in July '17) looked at 500 instructions by online agents, finding that: when they looked at all online agents instructions over a 14 month period between Jan '16 and Feb '17 around half hadn’t sold, that almost half those interviewed felt the online agent they chose was poor value for money, and 40% spent more time than expected managing the sales process.

Finding a buyer is only a small part of our job.  A bigger part of our job is managing the sales process once an offer has been agreed -  liaising with agents, solicitors and those in a chain, dealing with problems before they grow and derail a sale, communicating, reassuring buyers and vendors.

Our award winning service is based on our direct knowledge of you, your buyers and the property - a winning combination that is key to a successful sale.

We're delighted to support Penge Art Trail again this year, and are pleased to confirm that we'll be exhibiting local artists work for June's event.

The true story of an inspirational woman and her tragic final days

Between Wednesday 18th April and Saturday 12th May Sydenham’s very own theatre company Spontaneous Productions is bringing this dramatic true story to life Upstairs at the Sydenham Centre, just around the corner from where Eleanor Marx and Edward Aveling lived out their final few years. Lucy Kaufman’s powerful new drama celebrates this remarkable woman — political activist, translator, early feminist and often neglected figure of historical importance — whilst tackling themes of love, loyalty, identity, betrayal, domestic abuse and the role of women in society.

Your donations will go to children who would otherwise not receive one, and so anything you can give will be gratefully received. We need to have all donations in by 5th April and want to thank you in advance for your support.

Thanks to our wonderful community, last August’s Great PropertyWorld Bake Off competition was a fantastic success!

PropertyWorld hit the big 2-0 & so we invited those around us to join in the celebrations at Penge Day. The competition submissions were incredible, and Great British Bake Off Finalist Jane Beedle was on hand to select our winners, offering the unique prize of a baking tutorial together with winner of BBC’s Yes Chef! Regan Anderton.

It was a very memorable day, and now we are delighted to confirm that the event raised £300 for St Christopher’s Hospice.

We are very proud to support this fantastic local charity, and if you’d like to learn more about what they do, or how you can fundraise on their behalf please click here.

As we clear away all signs of Christmas celebrations for another year we ask that if you have any long life foods left over from the holiday period, you donate them to the foodbank collections located at our Penge and Sydenham offices. All items donated go to Bromley Borough Foodbank, who in turn distribute them to local people in crisis.

Please bear in mind that we have a year-round collection running, so anything you can spare in the future is greatly appreciated too!

To read about the work the Bromley Borough Foodbank and the Trussell Trust do, and to see a list of urgently needed food items please click here. Thank you.

As political and economic uncertainty around Brexit continues, the start of 2018 will not mark a new chapter for the London property market. Proving itself fairly resilient, transactions are likely to remain at current levels (possibly a little lower), with a steady 1-3% price increase predicted.

Despite a cautious market, the relatively low mortgage rates should remain, with any further interest level increases minimal. The Autumn Budget will boost affordability for First Time Buyers in the short-term, and further government investment in Help To Buy schemes will provide some support for sales.

Planning a move in the New Year? Start your planning over the holiday period with our top tips to make selling your property as easy as possible.

• Clean. A really deep clean costs very little, but goes along way to give buyers the right impression of your home.
• Declutter. Personal items that show the lovely life your family have enjoyed in the property are not what a buyer has come to see – they want to imagine the lovely life they could create there, so be sure to give them the space to do that.
• Remove bulky furniture. If it’s too big for the space you risk making your property appear smaller.  Temporary storage might be a possible solution here.
• Spruce decoration & keep it simple. Most households have a to-do list of odd jobs like fixing a kitchen drawer that no longer closes properly or replacing cracked tiles. Potential buyers may notice minor issues and worry they’re a bigger problem. Pay attention to detail.
• Let there be light.  A naturally sunny home is something most buyers dream of but if you think your property needs a boost you can keep décor light, use mirrors to reflect light and remove anything that might block those rays shining through.
• Curb appeal. Mow the lawn, clear the gutters, paint window frames. Look at your neighbour’s homes and compare – what will a potential buyer think?

We offer a free house doctor service and will help with advice and suggestions – we know what sells and what buyers look for to get you the best possible price. To book your valuation call us now!

As part of a range of measures to aid the UK’s housing crisis and help young buyers get on the property ladder Chancellor Philip Hammond has announced that, with immediate effect, stamp duty for all properties up to £300,000 will be abolished.

In addition, those spending up to £500,000 will benefit, as the first £300,000 will remain stamp duty-free. But what does this really mean for the market and prices in London?

PropertyWorld Director Dan Crowley comments “Abolition of stamp duty for first time buyers is well intended, and hopefully a boost for those trying to get on the ladder. Only time will tell if it also pushes up house prices. Evidence from similar attempts in the past suggest that will be the unintended consequences.”

Propertyworld are pleased to announce that we are continuing to support Welcare throughout 2016. It may be winter outside but it will soon be spring and with the joys of spring comes chocolate. Every child loves Easter and the unwrapping of gold foil to reveal the delights of a chocolate Easter Egg. However some children will not be receiving an Easter Egg this year without our support. Therefore after the amazing generosity and results of our Christmas Present collection we have decided to hold an Easter Egg collection so that lots of children will have the same joy as our own children.
The egg does not have to big or expensive and all egg donations will be greatly received. The deadline to drop Easter Egg off to the office will be the 17th March 2016 (Easter is here early this year).
I know that you will give as much as you can and continue to support this charity and help to put smiles on children’s faces.
If you would like to make a monetary donation we can take these as well and will add them to monies raised from our charity nights.

From all of the team here at Propertyworld we would like to thank you in advance for all of your help and support.
