We have considerable experience in dealing with small to medium size developments and conversions and have a good understanding of how to market these sites effectively. We regularly sell sites from scratch and create bespoke marketing plans for each site. Most recently we have launched sites in Netherton, Lepton, Upperthong and Meltham and enjoyed great success with sales.
We have also been successful in rejuvenating sites that have gone stale in the hands of other Estate Agents such as Green Lane Mill in Holmfirth, the Wildspur Mills complex in New Mill, Tamewater Court in Dobcross and Empire Works in Slaithwaite.
Our experienced Valuer & Partner, Rob, regularly works with developers from the early stages of house design, sometimes before outline planning permission has been achieved to ensure that the homes built meet the market for property in the area.
Before any site is launched to the open market we will work closely with you to create a marketing plan with the aim of creating maximum exposure for the properties and building a database of interested parties.
By building close relationships with both the developer and buyers, our aim is to take the pressure off – allowing you to the time to concentrate on building.
Our in house photographer Lucie will visit the site on a regular basis to provide updated images as the site progresses and we will use these to promote the properties online and via social media. Our favourite shots are always the ones that show the development complete, with new owners happy in their homes.
Don’t take our word for it though, this is what one of our buyers at Fold Farm, Netherton had to say:
“We first met Rob and Louise from Wm Sykes at one of the phase II open days. We loved the opportunity to visit the development during the open days and the agents were fantastic throughout the entire process. Their knowledge of the properties was superb and they were always able to answer any questions that we had. They were on hand when we went to make our kitchen and bathroom choices and we’ve overall had nothing but a great experience with Wm Sykes”.
This is what the developers Holroyd Homes had to say:
“We have worked with Rob and his team at WM Sykes over the past 5 years on our last two residential development schemes. Rob has advised at every step of the development process, from pre-purchase site appraisals, house-types and estimated values, through to marketing and selling the completed plots. We continue to work with Rob on future development opportunities, including Rob flagging
opportunities to us and making introductions.
The team at WM Sykes are incredibly professional, highly organised and really take ownership of the plot sale process. It’s invaluable as a developer to be able to trust your selling agent and let them get on with what they do well, so we can concentrate on delivering finished houses”
