1. are a friendly, family-run firm committed to delivering a highly personal service.
There are currently four Thorogood family members involved in running our company who, together with carefully chosen experienced negotiators who are employed on a long-term basis, help to maintain the high levels of service we offer. We intend our company to remain here for the long term and so we strive to continually improve this service in the future.

2. have a brand new website providing all the functions you need.
Our new website displays floor-plans, location maps, professional photos and full descriptions of each property and the local areas. It also allows you to fully register online, to receive email alerts, and to book viewings online.

3. use teamwork & sharing of fees to ensure buyers are fairly & properly represented.
At John Thorogood, our sales team pools its commissions. How does this affect you? It means each negotiator gets paid no matter which offer is accepted, yours or someone else's. This enables us to work together to ensure all offers, including yours, get the same fair consideration. We advise on which is the best offer for the client, not merely worry about which offer we each get paid for.

4. provide a bespoke "email alert" service giving instant notification of new properties.
Our email alerts are speedy "advance notification" of each new property coming on to the market in your price bracket, allowing you to book an early viewing before other buyers & not miss out. These email alerts will have a direct link to our new website so that once pictures and floor plans have been uploaded you can see full details in the fastest possible time-frame. The website is updated daily.

5. have a reputation for handling a high-quality & wide selection of houses & flats for sale.
As John Thorogood's market share has increased in recent years, being registered with us will ensure you have the opportunity to view a large number of high-quality properties throughout the local area, from 1-bedroom flats to 6/7 bedroom detached houses.

6. provide superior well-written informative property details with floor-plans & professional photos.
Our property brochures contain floor plans, maps and professional photographs. The descriptions are informative and individual, breaking away from entrenched estate agency clichés and focusing on the most important property considerations. Our extensive local knowledge and experience enables us to provide buyers with useful background knowledge and very accurate detail right down to specific street information.

7. have a reputation for being helpful, dedicated, efficient & highly experienced.
Once you've had your offer accepted the search is over and the real hard work begins for us. Our negotiator's sales progression skills are founded on strong experience and local knowledge, They are well grounded in co-operating with solicitors, surveyors, structural engineers, mortgage brokers, lenders, local councils and property maintenance operatives and of course vendors. We work very hard to ensure the sale proceeds smoothly right through to the day we hand over the keys to you.

8. specialise in residential sales (no mortgages, no lettings, no management & no commercial)
Over many years we've seen estate agents that dabble in a bit of everything. At John Thorogood, we stick to what we know best - residential sales. It means whoever you speak to you'll have confidence in their ability to help with your search for the right property. We remain committed to understanding your requirements and showing you only suitable properties to avoid wasting your time.
