Property Details
The brochure is a crucial element of the marketing campaign. Every property we market will have high quality details prepared, including colour photographs and a detaileddescription of the property. For selected properties we encourage the use of floor plans and for sites we are able to include aerial photographs.

Window Cards
Our branches are located in prominent locations, ensuring high levels of passing trade. Our window displays are an ideal showcase for client properties and we will present your property in an attractive way to potential purchasers that may be passing.

Photography
Photographs are used in all marketing materials including brochures, advertisements, on our website, in our window displays and often in press releases. Lowe negotiators are individually trained to photograph our clients’ properties in varying conditions, using high quality digital cameras.

Boards
You will probably have seen many Lowe “For Sale” and “To Let” boards in your area. We find boards to be a very effective way of generating high quality enquiries. They compliment the marketing effort and attract interest from a wider group than those specifically looking to move in the area – in other words, people who may have admired your property or the location are made aware of its availability which, in our experience, often leads to a successful sale.

Viewing & Selling
We will advise and offer tips on how best to present your home. People tend not to buy bricks and mortar, but a 'home.' If a house doesn't 'feel' right it will be difficult to sell. The 'feel' of your house can be influenced by a host of individual factors. Here are a few hints to help you make your house feel' like your viewers new ‘home’.

1. First impressions are vital. Ensure that the front garden is neat and tidy and that the front elevation of the house, at least, is well maintained - particularly the front door! A hanging basket by the front door is well worth the investment.
2. Tidy up! Clutter really does make a house look smaller. A tidy house has the feel of a much larger one. Think about any unnecessary furniture as well. If in doubt - get it out!
3. Pay attention to the smells. Homebuyers use all their senses when getting the 'feel' of your home. Clean the curtains and carpets and give the whole place a good ‘spring clean’ There's a lot of truth in the old adage of employing the aroma of freshly baked bread and a pot of fresh coffee. At least, use a little pot pourri around the place. A couple of bunches of fresh fragrant flowers make a huge difference.
4. In addition to preparation of the house itself, gather together a portfolio of paperwork that any serious potential buyer may very well want to see. Gas, electricity bills etc., plus any guarantees for damp proofing or other remedial works that have been undertaken.
5. Whilst these tasks may seem something of a chore, they really will make a tremendous difference to the saleability of your property
