Killens Auctions, Radstock

Our offices cover some of the most beautiful countryside in the West Country, from the heritage Cities of Bristol and Bath in the north across the Chew Valley and Mendips to the evocative cider apple orchards of south Somerset and the Somerset Levels in the west.

The Killen family have lived in the area for generations and the philosophy is to focus upon offering an expert service of integrity, quality and excellence which ensures clients achieve their objectives of selling their property seamlessly so sale proceeds are maximised.

At Killens, we are unique in being able to deliver a range of complementary property services to our clients ranging from valuations., marketing homes and selling fine art and antiques at auction. A 'one stop' service.

In all that we do, we adopt traditional values whilst taking a proactive approach that embraces modern methods of marketing.

Global Promotion

The internet has changed estate agency beyond recognition. Global marketing is now the norm. We promote our properties on the largest property websites including Rightmove, Zoopla, Primelocation, On The Market and numerous smaller ones too.

Advertising Widely

We achieve high profile advertising and excellent levels of editorial coverage in national, regional and local publications.

Reaching London

London continues to be the engine room of the UK's property market and we are well set up for attracting London buyers through our office in Park Lane and our network of offices.

Superb Literature

We take pride in the brochures and marketing literature we produce for you. Careful consideration is given by our teams to reflect the individual style of each property portraying the positive attributes. A quality brochure expertly presented and incorporating plans and excellent photographs remains one of the most effective marketing aids.

Excellent Contacts

As soon as we are instructed, we make contact with every suitable potential buyer prior to the commencement of the full marketing program. We also have excellent relations with local search agents.
