Lettings

It is a trusted and proven fact that a for sale or to let board is one of the best and most efficient ways to market your property and to be noticed outside of Rightmove, Zoopla, Prime Location and of course our very own website.

Buyers tend to visit the areas and roads where they would like to live and move to, and there is still a very small percentage of people who do not visit the property portals.

We will always advise sellers and landlords to take advantage of this marketing tool - the board is free however we do charge a £25 fee if you decide not to take advantage of this established and successful method of advertising your property for sale or for rent.

Remember, we want the same result as you do, and we will always advise you of the best ways of selling or renting in order to meet our shared goals through our years of experience.

Once a Sale or Let has been agreed we will change the message to say just that and the same for when the Sale or Let has completed and successfully gone through.

Please note; some properties are not permitted to have a board erected outside their home or on their street due to factors such as living within a conservation area for example. If this is the case, please do not click the 'no board request' option or you will be unnecessarily charged; simply contact us to state this, and Moonline Property will ensure there will be no cost added to your account. This is the only exemption of this clause.

STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD! To make sure your property is seen by even more buyers and tenants, think about upgrading your property with a Premium Listing.

35% more property details are viewed by buyers and tenants when Premium Listed, increasing your chances of attracting a buyer or a tenant even faster.

Your property will remain as a premium property listing on Rightmove for the duration of the 6 months instruction period, so it is a great value for money tool. You are able to add this tool at any stage of your instruction period; however, we will always advise and recommend for you to add this at the point of instructing Moonline Property.

And don't worry, once you have added this upgrade we do all the rest.

What you get:

• Allows multiple photos that rotate or one larger photo
• Attention-grabbing stickers to highlight your property
• Bigger, bolder price
• Larger listing box
• Highlighted background to make your property stand out

• Stand out with an amplified listing highlighted in a box and additional photos on show

GET MORE PEOPLE VIEWING YOUR PROPERTY & STAND OUT FROM THE CROWD! We are sure you have guessed by now that Moonline Property is all about saving our customers money; whilst still offering you the best marketing tools possible. So, the only difference between ourselves and traditional High Street Agents is using us guarantees extra pounds in your pocket.

Because we know and have had first-hand experience on the enhanced exposure these tools provide; not to mention how many extra viewings your property receives by upgrading to Premium listings on both Rightmove and Zoopla (where approx 96% of Buyers and Tenants searching for their next homes start their property search), we are offering a combined package to limit you having to compromise on whether to have just one or both of these upgrades.

Now for a saving of £30 when adding both to your package you can attract even more buyers and tenants…how good does that sound!

Please note; to achieve this discount both Rightmove and Zoopla Premium Listings need to be added at the same time using the appropriate tick box. If you have, for example; chosen to add a Rightmove Premium Listing previously…and then later on during your instruction period with us decide to also add the Zoopla Premium Listing upgrade; you will be paying a rate of £60 each (£120 combined) rather than taking advantage of our £90 combined offer.

An accredited domestic energy assessor will need to issue you with your EPC, it's not something you can do by yourself. You might be offered the services of one via an estate agent or letting agent, but you can find your own if you prefer or want to compare prices. Moonline Property use accredited assessors who are also our professional photographers, therefore limiting the number of visits to your home to one which speeds up the process of marketing your property, it is also far more efficient and our costs our very competitive as our main aim is to Sell or Let your home in the fastest time to achieve the highest price.

An Energy Performance Certificate is required for properties when constructed, sold, or let. The Energy Performance Certificate provides details on the energy performance of the property and what you can do to improve it.

You must order an EPC for potential buyers and tenants before you market your property to sell or rent.

Can you sell or rent a house without a EPC?

Yes, but only if either you or your estate agent has ordered an Energy Performance Certificate before marketing commences. At a minimum, this means a Domestic Energy Assessor must be instructed to prepare an EPC for your home before it is put on the market.

An EPC is valid for 10 years and can be used multiple times during this period. The EPC will expire after 10 years and a new EPC (valid for the next 10 years) should be produced if the property is marketed for sale or rent at that time.

To check to see if your property has a valid up to date EPC please visit www.epcregister.com/

Exemptions:

You don't need an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) if you can demonstrate that the building is any of these:

• listed or officially protected and the minimum energy performance requirements would unacceptably alter it
• a temporary building only going to be used for 2 years or less
• used as a place of worship or for other religious activities
• an industrial site, workshop or non-residential agricultural building that doesn't use much energy
• a detached building with a total floor space under 50 square metres
• due to be demolished by the seller or landlord and they have all the relevant planning and conservation consents

A building is also exempt if all of the following are true:

• it's due to be sold or rented out with vacant possession
• it's suitable for demolition and the site could be redeveloped
• the buyer or tenant has applied for planning permission to demolish it

This product is only available if you have selected our Half Moon Package. If you have selected our Full Moon Package, you will already have this service included where your Moonline Local Property Expert will carry out most viewings on your behalf during business hours/days and subject to their calendar availability.

This upgrade will benefit those who had previously instructed Moonline Property on a Half Moon Package only to realise a later date/post instruction that you would rather have your Local Property Expert take care of the viewings for you.

No one knows your property like you do, which is why so many home owners now prefer to show potential buyers and tenants themselves and save even more money with Moonline Property.

You can add this product upgrade at any time during your 6 month instruction period with us.

Please note, that once this tool has been added and paid for; and you then decide you would like to conduct viewings yourself after all, this is no problem however you will not be refunded for your upgrade.

Through our years of experience of Selling and Renting properties, we know that less is more in order to achieve a higher rate of viewings, offers and interest. However, they do say that a picture paints a thousand words.

With this in mind, we want to please our array of customers as we know that everybody has different requirements and needs, and not all properties are the same. Some have extra features which you may feel need to be highlighted even further.

Included in both our Half Moon and Full Moon packages you and your property receive 8 professional photos (where most other agents; both Online and High Street charge extra for this)

If you feel you would like more photos to showcase your property on our website and on the UK's leading property portals; we offer a package of 8 extra images to be taken when our professional photographers visit your property for a small upgrade cost or at any point within your 6 month instruction period.

Your property can change over time, whether that be the outlook externally or some redecoration internally during the marketing period.

Your property may be taking longer to sell than you first envisaged due to a number of reasons. You may have had some structural changes in this time, painted a room and so on.

There is nothing worse than looking at a property and the attributed photos clearly show the length of time it has been marketed for or does not give the true outlook of how it looks now.

Perhaps you placed the property on the market in the winter where the external pictures show some snow, or in Autumn where there are leaves covering your lawn.

Remember, you can add this upgrade on initial instruction/sign up or at any time during your 6 month period.

We do not envisage your property needing the full 6 month marketing time we give you as part of your package with us to find a suitable buyer or tenant as our average Selling time is under 4 weeks, and on average 2 weeks for Letting your property.

However, there are always cases due to market and economic conditions, personal circumstances such as probates and divorce to name but a few, and some home owners and landlords wanting to try to get an over the market premium price where they have more time on their hands with less financial pressure affording them to sit back and wait. With this in mind, we felt we should offer a renewal for a further 6 months for a heavily discounted figure.

Please note; this renewal price of just £250 will only give you a Half Moon package (meaning you will have to conduct all viewings yourself) and on a Pay Now payment option… this MUST BE activated at the latest prior to the final day of your current/initial 6 month instruction period. Should you wish to select this upgrade; which is available for existing customers only; you are still able to upgrade to the 'Upgrade to Unlimited Viewings' package if you'd prefer your Moonline Local Property Agent to conduct viewings on your behalf during this extended instruction period.
