Getting your property on the market fast
Our extensive knowledge of each Cognatum estate allows us to value your property quickly and realistically. We hold details of all properties sold and provide a fast and efficient service. As specialists in the industry, we can offer innovative access to the market place via relevant and contemporary editorial, promotional material and the internet.
A team you can trust
With over 40 years’ experience selling Cognatum properties, our team offer honest and reliable guidance throughout the process. We are part of the same group as Cognatum Estates, the management company, and benefit from working closely alongside their team. Our invaluable knowledge allows us to market properties in this niche sector of the housing market.
We make it easy
A market appraisal is carried out by our Property Director, who is able to meet you at the property or, with your permission, gain access via the estate manager, who can provide recommended services from removals to redecoration. In our experience, properties that are newly decorated sell more quickly and achieve higher prices. We understand the retirement market and the true value of living in a purpose-built retirement estate with homes which are secure and manageable.
Selling the lifestyle to achieve the best price
Owners of Cognatum properties are able to enjoy a care-free retirement knowing that the maintenance of the grounds and buildings are taken care of through the service charge. Our estate managers are uniquely placed to explain this and everything related to life on a Cognatum estate; a service that only comes when you sell your home with Cognatum Property. The Cognatum lifestyle has huge value and makes your property more than just bricks and mortar.
How we find buyers
With waiting lists at many of our estates and with a large database of people looking only for a retirement property, we are well placed to find a buyer.
Our database
We have an extensive database of interested buyers and we mail details of all new listings to everyone who is registered for that area. The fastest sales often come through our database.
Property websites
All our properties are shown on Rightmove and on our website cognatum.co.uk. A selection of properties can also be found in our quarterly newsletter.
Advertising
We advertise in national papers such as the Daily Telegraph and national magazines. Our estate managers show all the properties available on their estate in their offices.
