Initial Visit
Our sales service commences with an initial visit to inspect and appraise the property, to suggest an appropriate marketing figure and to discuss the particular circumstances pertaining to the property and client.

Marketing Assesment
The sales price which can be justified for a property will be determined not only by the size of the property, but also by the standard of its condition, the size and state of the garden and any land and outbuildings, the location and its surrounding s and obviously the prevailing market conditions at the time. Martin Kemp Property Services will evaluate all the various factors to give you balanced advice as to the marketing of your property.

Finding a Buyer
Martin Kemp Property Services will market your property from at all of our offices, Aylesbury,  Wendover, Winslow & Tring using fully illustrated colour particulars, local and national advertising, town centre window display and colourful and eye catching for sale boards. Our fully illustrated particulars are normally the most comprehensive, up to date and well presented in the area. Normally a number of colour photographs of the property will be included. The particulars are distributed to a regular flow of prospective buyers, all of whom are required to register with our offices, so our fully trained staff can assess both them and their requirements. We are also in regular contact with large corporate applicants and al the major relocation companies.
