Welcome to Cranes

Cranes Independent Estate Agents offers the complete professional service for high quality residential property.

Specialising in all aspects of residential sales and lettings, our independent office promotes a bespoke service across the property spectrum combining modern techniques with traditional values and expertise.

On this website we outline the reason why Cranes are everything you should expect from an exceptional agent.

Extensive Marketing

Professionally printed property brochures

A high quality sales brochure is our opportunity to provide the buyer with the best possible insight into your home. Our new contemporary details include several colour images, directions, and useful information to assist with the decision making process.

Prominent office location

We believe that 'eye catching' window displays and an inviting office environment for buyers to discuss their property requirements creates a selling atmosphere. Our centrally located offices provide the perfect backdrop to promote your home.

Local advertising

A prominent local advertising campaign is included within our fee structure. We have excellent relations with the editorial divisions of the local press, often resulting in useful exposure within the property supplements.

Local Knowledge, Local People

Well trained staff take pride in delivering the highest standards of personal and professional service.

We have the necessary experience to guide both vendors and purchasers, through the process of selling and buying. With our many years of collective knowledge on the local area we are more than confident our honest advice and exceptional service will guide you through your move effortlessly.

Experience and Longevity

Local professionals

Cranes is owned and managed by local professionals who both themselves and their families work and live in the local community. As a result we take pride in advising both buyers and sellers on all aspects of the area including education facilities, communication, amenities, attractions, road and rail networks, social activities and local lifestyles.

Accurate valuations

Obtaining the best possible price for your property is an important factor in any move. Our experience and regular research for comparable evidence ensures your home is marketed at the correct price, whilst attractive enough to achieve a sale in your preferred time scale. If you instruct us, we make certain every member of our team involved in the sale of your property has an in-depth knowledge of your home. This enables them to talk informatively to all prospective viewers, whether over the phone, by email or at the property itself.

Managing your sale to a successful conclusion

Each appointment with a prospective purchaser is always followed up with honest, constructive feedback. Any offers on your property will be given verbally and in writing. Our dedicated staff are in constant communication with solicitors, other estate agents, building societies, buyers and sellers involved in your sale. We realise this final period is often the most stressful part of the move so progress reports are provided on a regular basis. We believe this communication is crucial to the successful completion of every sale.

Established agent, Fresh Approach

In the highly competitive market place of today, you require an agency which consistently achieves and exceeds clients' expectations. A team which has a proven track record in obtaining the maximum return on your property and which thrives, regardless of market conditions.

Our knowledge of local property markets, combined with our energy enthusiasm and integrity to succeed on your behalf are our strongest qualities.

Property online and marketing

Computerised mailing list

In addition to direct enquiries, property brochures are distributed to all applicants on our computerised register matching the property criteria. Applicants can choose to have brochures sent by Royal Mail or more increasingly popular, by email and applicants receive text messages with regular updates of all new properties that enter the market place.

Exposure on the major portal websites

In addition to our own successful website, all our properties feature with the most popular property portal sites offering national coverage.
Internet exposure is not the key element with any successful marketing programme and we continue to see year on year growth with out internet initiatives.

Associations with other local agents

We have built up a number of good relations with selected estates agents that border our immediate area on which we can call to further strengthen our market coverage.

Low key marketing

Some customers prefer a more low profile approach to selling their home. With this in mind we can arrange for key applicants to view your property prior to full marketing and exposure. This popular service can generate valuable feedback and interest without the commitment of our high profile campaign.

Professional Lettings, Positive Results

We understand that renting your property can be a very stressful and daunting process, especially for the first time. However, at Cranes our focus is on making sure that your experience is as stress free as possible whilst we guide you around the many pitfalls and potential problems that may arise.

We never forget that your property is likely to be one of your largest assets with many people using property to secure their financial security. We can confidently assure you that it is in professional and caring hands.

Choosing a letting agent is an important decision, and choosing a managing agent even more so. We pride ourselves on our experience and knowledge to guide you through this ever increasing technical and demanding area of the property market.

Quality marketing

We market your rental property in the same way as we market a property for sale with full colour brochures and extensive internet and on line marketing. We find the better the presentation of your property. the better the quality of tenant it attracts, first impressions really count.

Carefully selected tenants

All prospective tenants are thoroughly referenced and credit checked before any acceptance of a tenancy

A bespoke service

We offer three different types of service, however we maintain a flexible attitude and are generally able to adapt our service to meet our client's individual circumstances and needs.

Let only

This service is most suited to experienced landlords who have the time and resources to deal with any issues that arise from renting their property.

Let and rent collection

This service is ideal for those landlords who wish to take control of the maintenance of the property but who may not wish to deal with the inspections or the collection of rent.
