How is the downsizing service different to using an estate agent?

Estate agents by their very nature would like to sell your property for you and, in a perfect world, do it now. Our downsizing department has been created to do more than that. From helping to plan your future move to playing an active part in finding your next home in Surrey or further afield, and so much more;

  1. Create a bespoke moving plan
  2. Arrange sales valuations
  3. Should the property require any work completing prior to the sale, we can coordinate tradesmen from our database of local contacts
  4. Additional support and guidance through the process
  5. Onward move assistance
  6. Logistical support for decluttering and arranging removals.

Meet our downsizing specialist, Millie Yeomans

Hello. I have been an estate agent for 30 years and in that time, I have assisted many people in what can be the most emotional move of their home ownership.

Many of my downsizing clients have not moved home for 30, 40 or even 50 years. So it is little wonder that some feel a bit overwhelmed by the prospect.

And that is why I have changed roles to become Curchods and Burns and Webber’s downsizing consultant. I now dedicate all my time to this very special group of our clients.

I will guide you every step of the way and ensure that any fears you have are dissolved and that you can actually enjoy your move. You will never have to make decisions without help and advice.

It has been my experience that family members often worry about parents or grandparents downsizing and so where relevant, I will always liaise with family members if my clients wish me to do so.

As it says on the opposite page, early planning is key to ensuring you get the very best from your move and also enjoy it.

So, if the time is coming or you are ready to downsize, let’s have a chat over a cup of tea and I can tell you more about how I will help make this move easy for you.

“I don’t know where to start”

Let us help you. We are experts in planning our clients journeys from “I’m thinking about moving” to collecting your new keys.

“I don’t want to leave because of the memories”

They are yours forever, take them with you to your new home as celebrations of your time in your current house.

“I don’t know where I want to move”

Talk to us. Tell us what you love about where you live and what you want from your next home and we will find you a suitable home.

“The house needs a lot of work”

Don’t worry about it. This is where we come in. We can easily organise any work required at a fair price.

“I’m daunted by physically moving, I have so much stuff”

The most common reason not to move but so easy to sort. We can offer you advise on storage and decluttering which will help you prepare for your next stage.
