Offer Check Procedure - - If you are considering making an offer for this or any other property we are marketing, please make early contact with your local office to enable us to verify your buying position. Our Sellers expect us to report on a Buyer's proceedability whenever we submit an offer. Thank you.

Removal Quotes - As part of our drive to assist clients with all aspects of the moving process, we have sourced a reputable removal company. Please ask a member of our sales team for further details and a quotation.

Solicitor - Choosing the right conveyancing solicitor is extremely important to ensure that you obtain an effective yet cost-efficient solution. The lure of supposedly cheaper on-line "conveyancing warehouse" style services can be very difficult to ignore but this is a route fraught with problems that we strongly urge you to avoid. A local, established and experienced conveyancer will safeguard your interests and get the job done in a timely manner. Bernards can recommend several local firms of solicitors who have the necessary local knowledge and will provide a personable service. Please ask a member of our sales team for further details.

Bernards Mortgage & Protection - We have a team of advisors covering all our offices, offering a comprehensive range of mortgages from across the market and various protection products from a panel of lending insurers. Our fee is competitively priced, and we can help advise and arrange mortgages and protection for anyone, regardless of who they are buying and selling through.

If you're looking for advice on borrowing power, what interest rates you are eligible for, submitting an agreement in principle, placing the full mortgage application, and ways to protect your health, home, and income, look no further!

Sellers Tale - Before we moved to Southsea, we had been visiting for years and had come to love the area. We always aspired to live by the sea and when our children moved out, we decided to make the move. After a good number of viewings we viewed Crossways and the minute we entered the hallway, looked down the kitchen into the garden, we knew this was the home for us. We wanted a home large enough to welcome our children into, space for 2 home offices and a dedicated crafting room, together with sunny outside space, all of which we achieved.

We bought the house in 2018 planning to stay indefinitely so invested in it. The house has been decorated throughout. We replaced the old kitchen with the lovely one you see today, installed bi-folds in both the dining room and kitchen together with a ceiling lantern, creating the indoor/ outdoor living feel we had always wanted; we replaced both bay windows, the inner front door together with double glazing its surrounding panels, fitted a new walk in shower in the main bathroom, a new shower room on the 2nd floor and built the garden decking. It's been a fabulous home for us and our family. Proximity to the beach, Southsea Common, shops, restaurants and Esplanade have all been great, together with loving our summertime at home enjoying our sunny garden.

Fate, it transpired had something else in store for us. In the past two years both our children have moved to Plymouth thus our motivation for selling our lovely home. We'll be very sad to leave & move on from here but Devon and our grandchild are calling us onto an exciting new chapter in our lives. "
