Welcome to August! Thanks so much for reading the newsletter. Blimey! It has been hot hot HOT, hasn't it? NOT that we are complaining, it seems like we are finally having what I would deem as a "proper" summer, like I remember from being little, only without the paddling pool, unfortunately.

July has been a really busy month with our highest volume of July take ons for five years being recorded. Of the July take ons, 35% are already sold subject to contract and 80% of June take ons are also sold, which proves that the market is good but also that properties are being valued right to attract buyers. 

Hopefully August will continue in the same way, with us getting lots of great feedback from our clients. It is always so wonderful when someone takes time out to say something nice. Mr and Mrs G, whose property we have just completed on in S7 said "I'm very grateful for all of the professional service from all at Spencers. I would be very happy to come to you again. We have two other rental properties in Sheffield which we will think about selling over the next couple of years and I won't have any hesitation in coming back to you. Please also thank Miranda who has been very efficient and professional throughout.

Thanks for reading the newsletter  and watch out for info on our newbie Rebecca who starts in August, she's an incredibly impressive young woman who will certainly go a very long way. 

Enjoy the sunshine! 
 
Best of wishes

Spencers Seven Deadly Sins! 
What other Agents get VERY wrong 
(in our very humble opinion!)

Lust -

some very naughty agents lust after property SO much that they convince a vendor to sell to them off the market, which goes against all of an agent's normal advice and principals. If an agent tries to buy from you off market, make sure you get a second opinion from another party to ensure you aren't being diddled!

Gluttony -

too much of a good thing is certainly not good for the soul. Taking on volumes of properties that your staff can't properly manage will not make you very popular! We take on an exacting number of properties by cherry picking the ones we really want so that our staff are never overloaded and you will always get the very best service.

Greed -

some agents will tell you that your house is worth A LOT of money just to get the instruction. I will never forget what a competing agent said to me when I challenged him on this, "better unsold on our wall than sold on someone else's". If you think they are telling you your house is worth too much money, they probably are!

Sloth -

some agents are incredibly lazy. I viewed three properties recently after requesting to see TEN via Rightmove. I only viewed three because only three out of the ten agents came back to me to book me in and I await a call from the other seven! Out of those three, NONE of the agents have called me for feedback! Make sure you do your research into an agent's service and don't just take their word for it!

Wrath -

Spencers stay out of Agent v Agent mudslinging. Because we are based out of the way of the war at Banner Cross we don't tend to find other agents slating us for fun to try to make themselves look better. Now, now, big boys, if you have nothing nice to say...........

Envy -

they say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and we have had our share of other agents who have wanted to copy our name / ideas / style. Well, we can honestly say that we are flattered, thank you for thinking we are so dangerous to your business!

Pride -

no one likes a bragger. You may have the biggest car, the most expensive house, the custom made suit....but did you make someone smile today? Did you make someone feel like they should drop you in a nice card to say Thank You? I know what gives us the greater sense of satisfaction

Bungalow in need of improvements in S10 

Semi in S10

Semi in S11
We received an email recently from a lady who wanted to know why we promoted all the houses that we had sold, as if we were boasting! Well, quite simply, we have waiting buyers for properties  that received multiple bids and so by letting everyone know what is in demand it will hopefully encourage more properties on to our books. These properties have all sold and have disappointed buyers waiting, do you have one similar that you would like to sell? Call us on 0114 2683682 to arrange an appointment with our Senior Valuer Chris, who I have been told recently is a "true gent". 

NEW to the Market - S11


We lived on Peveril Road until recently and I can't promote it enough, living so close to Endcliffe Park and taking a stroll down to the restaurants and bars on Ecclesall Road is an absolute luxury. We are lucky in Sheffield to have so many historic Victorian terraced houses and these streets off the Park have some of the best in the city. Call us to view our Ranby Road house, unfortunately you have just missed one on Peveril and one on Onslow recently sold. Click the pic for full details or call us on 0114 2683682 to view. 

Characterful Property in S10


I have to say that we have some seriously impressive houses on our books currently, and this one on Endcliffe Edge is tucked away in a location that you may never have noticed! With incredible proportions, wonderful garden, stylish interiors and lots of charm, we hope you'll love it as much as we do. Click the pic or call 0114 2683682 for more info.
