About Us
Villager Homes is a new estate agent outfit, keen to fill
the gap in high-level residential and commercial property sales
around Cambridgeshire; we strive to make a difference with a new
innovative approach, having access to the latest marketing products.
Kye Liddle - Managing Director
Dulcie Mist - Property Consultant
As independent estate agents, and part of a network of over 800
offices, we can offer maximum reach when marketing your residence
in the UK. We are experts in your local area as well as having a
broad understanding of the national market and are well-placed
to advise you about the local environment. We provide you with
accurate valuations and offer vital information relating to specific
market trends affecting local property prices and sales.
Our Brampton branch contains a selected team of professional agents who each have a strong standing for successful negotiation, as well
as a commitment to service, creativity and hard work. We will drive the negotiation process forward, keeping you informed of progress
at all times. We prefer to be proactive rather than reactive and still believe one of the most effective ways is by the traditional method of
picking up the phone and talking to our applicants about your residence.
Not all of our buyers will be from the local area. Many London and international buyers are interested in luxury homes or investment
properties around the country. Villager Homes is able to provide you with access to the lucrative national and international market through
our prestigious showrooms in our London Park Lane branch using state of the art technology to display your properties professionally.
We are committed to regular, widespread, high-quality marketing, that enhances the location and character of your home, whilst providing
a wide selection of property for sale to the national market-place. Giving you the best chance of achieving the result you want in the
shortest possible time. Just a few features of our service include aerial photography of residential property, land and commercial buildings,
professional staging and photography and enhanced video marketing of the main residence and the land with audio voice overs. As well
as this, properties receive coverage in local and national press, are marketed in our London Park Lane branch and appear on the nation’s
number one online property portal – Rightmove.co.uk.

The Valuation!
One of our experienced valuers will visit your property to listen to your needs, discuss our
marketing plan and recommend a pricing strategy. Based on in-depth knowledge of the property
market and local area we will guide you through each step of the house selling process.

Lights, camera, de-clutter!
Presentation is the most important marketing tool to attract
the maximum number of buyers. We recognise the value of
using professional photography and therefore all Villager
Homes properties are presented with high-quality photography.
Every room is vital to giving your home maximum appeal.

First impressions
Ensuring your property has ‘kerb appeal’ is of paramount
importance. Is the lawn cut neatly?, are the bushes and
shrubbery trimmed back?, is the driveway clean?, are
the bins tidied away? A buyer’s first impression of your
property can make all the difference!

with our London office, work closely together regularly referring buyers from other areas.

thinking straight away if your property
meets their requirements and plans for
the future.

• The need for new photos

• Possible buyer incentives ie stamp duty paid, no onward chain
• Review of applicants who have viewed but not sold yet
• Review of other comparable properties that have come to the market
