Selling your home, or an investment property, is a huge opportunity to gain a life-changing amount of money and at NGU Homesales & Lettings we do not take that opportunity lightly; there's no easier way to make an extra £10,000+, tax-free!

An estate agent will traditionally value your property and sell it to the first person who offers something close to the asking price and then manage the sale smoothly to completion...

Sounds okay right?

It is, but we think our main job is to maximise the price we can get for you, why?

- If you were selling anything else, would you sell it for less than it's worth?

- It's the easiest way to get a life-changing amount of money, all tax-free.

- It could be the difference between you getting your dream home or having to wait.

- If you're looking to retire, every extra £1,000 counts.

Whatever the reason, we take maximising your return incredibly seriously.

Our mission is to generate long-term wealth for our customers, and this is your biggest opportunity to do so. That's why we prefer a modern way of selling:

Within 7 days of your property being listed, we will launch it by:

- Advertising it on the major portals - Rightmove etc. to generate interest.

- Sharing your property on our social media platforms.

- Sending it to our 5,000-strong database of potential buyers.

- Within a week of the launch, we will organise a block viewing.

We believe that valuing your property competitively and launching it in this way allows us to maximise interest. By doing so it allows us to organise a block viewing which will mean:

- You'll only have to clean your house once.

- You will sell your house more quickly.

- It will create urgency amongst the interested buyers by having them view together.

- By creating competition, it also means that those interested have to react much faster and increase the likelihood of multiple offers being received.

- We can then use those multiple offers to extract the best price for you either through best and final offers or by negotiating upwards.

This is your ideal position to be in!

It's our job to get you the best price for your property to allow you to get your dream home, a bigger pension pot, or just some extra money in the bank.

Whatever the reason it's our job to NEVER GIVE UP and help you achieve it.

We also sell investment properties through our 10,000-strong investor database who are looking to buy either empty or ideally tenanted properties. Our investors generally love tenanted properties so they can get rent from day 1 so if you're struggling to sell or want to sell with a tenant in situ, to avoid the property becoming empty, let us know and we will be able to help.

We understand landlords because we are landlords.

Owning 150 properties ourselves and managing over 700, we have an in-depth knowledge of what it takes to be successful in this industry and a wealth of personal experience to draw upon.

Because of this, we do things a little bit differently... A letting agent will traditionally look after your property, take care of your legal responsibilities, and make sure the whole process is as hands-free as possible.

Sounds okay right?

It is, but it's also our job to make you money.

We have been making our landlords money for over 15 years. We look after our investors' properties with the same staff, tradespeople, and processes that we use for our own so you can rest assured; you're in safe hands.

Our company's mission is to generate long-term wealth by maximising your returns while also being fair to your tenants. We like to create win-win solutions for both landlords and tenants since this is the best way to create a sustainable long-term investment.

This runs through everything we do and is the starting point for any action we take on behalf of you and your investment

We are the most recognised estate agency in the North East, and in that time we have grown from 1 office to 28, with 300 members of staff, and we officially sell more properties in the North East, than any other estate agency.

Our many property services include sales, lettings (property management), auction, commercial, financial services, conveyance and surveys, and we have it all under one roof! We can be contacted 6 days a week at extended hours, as we have a dedicated Regional Team who take the overspill calls from our 28 branches, so all client relationships are built and maintained.

At Pattinsons, we are innovative leaders in the property industry, with pro-active selling, a reliable reputation, and substantial repeat business. Our national secure sale department, ‘Pattinson Auction’, was launched 33 years ago, and is going from strength to strength.

We have a wealth of knowledge and an expansive network to help find the best solution for you and your property requirements. You can trust Pattinsons, the North East’s leading estate agency.

Selling a property by auction goes back many years. Indeed legislation from over 160 years ago is still in place today. It is a proven method of achieving a desired result. Like many things property auctions come and go in popularity, although with certain classes, such as agricultural land, it has generally been the preferred method of disposal. Happily over the last ten years or so property auction sales have enjoyed a significant revival. This is a good thing, there can be many advantages from selling at auction. The benefits are not limited to sellers as many buyers feel that buying at auction is a simple, open and efficient method of purchase.

In recent years firms who had retained their faith in auctions have been rewarded by the renewed interest from sellers and buyers alike. They have now been joined by other auctioneers who have come back into the market place as well as some who have begun to use this method of sale for the first time. There has consequently been a significant increase in the number of properties offered and sold throughout England and Wales. It is estimated that about 2.5% of all properties sold do so through the auction method. Many more opportunities exist to grow the volume of sales. The expectation is that many more people will chose the auction method in preference to selling by private treaty.

There are many significant benefits from choosing Sale by Auction and it is only by understanding these, that agents and sellers can together decide if Auction is right for a specific property.

• Speed – there is no faster way of selling. The process can take as little as five weeks from instructing us, through to an exchange of contract.

• Chance of Success – Auction gives you a great likelihood of selling your property than by private treaty. Typically Auction House sells around 80% of the lots offered. If you need a certain sale you really should consider the auction route.

• No Fall-Throughs – your sale is certain. When the hammer comes down you have exchanged contracts, your buyer is legally committed and cannot change his mind. You will be much better off than via sale through the normal Private Treaty system, where approximately one third of all sales collapse after they have been agreed.

• Higher Profile Marketing – your property will be advertised very intensively in the local press – almost every day prior to the auction date, and also nationally through specialist publications that target investors and professional buyers. Your property will be featured in our high quality catalogue, which is mailed to thousands of interested buyers, and extensively promoted on the web. In truth nobody offers more high profile marketing that you will receive locally or nationally from Auction House.

• Open House Viewing Days – we set up special press promoted viewing days for your property. Each is hosted by a member of our Auction team, who can talk knowledgeably about the potential that your property offers and answer all manner of questions from prospective buyers. It is by talking with these viewers that we can judge interest and help guide you in setting the Reserve Price.

• Competitive Bidding – our aim is to generate interest from two or more prospective buyers and to encourage them to bid against each other. The process of competitive bidding will help your property to achieve “best price” on the day. Sometimes buyers are so anxious to acquire the property that they put in a very strong pre-auction offer – if in our view, that figure is unlikely to be reached or surpassed in the Auction Room, we will recommend its acceptance under Auction rules, and with a condition that contracts are exchanged at least five working days in advance of the Auction day.

• Best Price – often properties achieve a sale price at Auction in excess of the Guide Price. Regularly the result is ahead of that which might have been acceptable with a Private Treaty sale, but you can always be sure that it has achieved its Best Price on the day. This is especially important on Probate properties where Executors are required to achieve “Best Price”. When Auction is the chosen sale route then this is guaranteed and also open to public scrutiny.

• Continuing Tenancy Income – more and more investment properties are now being sold by Auction, without vacant possession being obtained in advance. By continuing the tenancy the vendor will continue to receive rent until completion date, and the purchaser will start receiving an income form the date onwards. Auction House sells a wide variety of occupied properties – Regulated Tenancies, Houses in Multiple Occupation, Assured Shortholds and others that are let commercially.

• No Re-Negotiation – with Private Treaty sales a price agreed often isn’t the price you finally receive. With Auction there is no re-negotiation, no discounting to take account of survey findings or any last minute gazundering. With Auction your buyer should have fully researched the property’s condition prior to bidding and cannot reduce the sale price after the hammer has fallen.

• Time Scale – if you are in a hurry or have a deadline to meet, then Auction could well be right for you. From the outset, you will know the date of the Auction and legal completion will usually be set for 28 days thereafter. This time-scale is fixed and legally binding on the two parties. Financial pressures, and the need to relocate or dispose of a property in a specific time frame, can be easily accommodated and are almost always met with a sale by Auction.

Unlike some other agencies out there, we recognise that our industry is primarily about people - which means that we prioritise each customer's wants and needs first.

Of course, properties are important - that's why we deal in hundreds of transactions every month. But it's the people behind the deals which really matter: our buyers and sellers; those hoping to rent and those trying to let; people considering auctioning a property or arranging a mortgage with us.

Our focus on people also means that we realise that our staff are our greatest asset. We've hand-picked the very best team, who are determined to do all they can to ensure your every need is catered for.

Our aim is to establish individual relationships with our clients through a business which is built on energy, agility, professionalism and knowledge. Our enthusiasm shows our clients that we will always do the best for them and with a demonstrable record of success we believe that having local knowledge of the places we operate in gives us the edge over other Estate Agents.
