Goadsby Open Day Success Sees Ferndown Cottage Agreed Well Above Guide Price
A charming Ferndown cottage requiring complete renovation has been agreed for sale well in excess of its guide pricefollowing a hugely successful Open Day organised by Goadsby.
The property, situated on a generous corner plot in Ameysford Road, offered an exciting opportunity for a buyer to create and modernise a home to their own taste, with potential to extend subject to the necessary planning permissions.
Following its launch to the market, the property generated exceptional interest, with Goadsby conducting 41 viewings and receiving an incredible 21 offers.
The level of competition gave the vendor the enviable position of being able to carefully consider the offers received and ultimately select their ideal buyer, rather than simply accepting the first offer that came forward.
The sale has now been agreed at a figure well above the original guide price, providing an excellent result for the vendor and demonstrating the impact that a well-planned launch and proactive marketing campaign can have.
Tim Winslade, Branch Manager at Goadsby, commented, “We were absolutely delighted with the response to this property. Although it required a complete renovation, it offered genuine potential and we felt that an Open Day would be the perfect way to launch it and create as much interest as possible from the outset.
“To conduct 41 viewings and receive 21 offers is an exceptional level of interest. It created genuine competition between buyers and, importantly for our vendor, gave them the opportunity to choose not only the strongest offer but also the buyer they felt most comfortable proceeding with.
“The property has now been agreed well in excess of the guide price, which is a fantastic result for our client. It is a great example of what can be achieved when a property is correctly positioned, professionally marketed and proactively managed by an experienced team.”
The successful campaign highlights Goadsby's approach to launching property to the market, combining professional marketing with proactive buyer engagement to create maximum exposure and, where possible, competition between purchasers.
