Start to finish within 130 days in Patrington
When people think of selling a premium home in a quiet village, they often brace themselves for a marathon. They expect months of "Wait and see," especially when the property is tucked away "Off the beaten track".
But at Wigwam, we’ve always believed that moving home shouldn’t be a 12-month affair.
Recently, we proved it with a stunning property situated on one of the most desirable streets in Patrington, East Yorkshire. Here is the timeline of how we turned a "hidden gem" into a "sold" success story in record time.
The timeline of a seamless sale
A successful sale isn't just about the time on the market; it’s about the strategy behind the scenes. We first valued this home in June, but the sellers had specific requirements for their onward purchase, and wanted to secure their onward purchase before getting sold.
Mid-October: The "For Sale" sign went up.
Before Christmas: The deal was done. Buyer found. Sale agreed.
Before Spring: Completion. Keys handed over.
Total time for marketing, negotiation, and the often-dreaded conveyancing process? Just 130 days.
How did we do it?
Selling a house for over £300,000 in a rural location requires more than just a listing on Rightmove.
It requires a clinical approach to the "Three Pillars" of estate agency:
Accurate valuation: We didn’t give a "Vanity price" to win the instruction. We provided a data-driven, realistic valuation that sparked immediate interest from serious, qualified buyers.
Pro-active marketing: In a village location, you can’t wait for buyers to find you - you have to go to them. Our marketing strategy ensured the home was presented beautifully to the right demographic from day one.
Dedicated sales progression: The period between "Offer accepted" and "Completion" is where sales can fall apart. By staying on top of solicitors, we bypassed the usual seasonal slumps and kept the momentum moving through the winter.
The bottom line
The right buyer is always out there. Whether your home is in the heart of the city or a quiet corner of East Yorkshire, success comes down to how you present it to the world.
