John V Arthur Estate Agents
for Northern Ireland Property
For Northern
Ireland property The Arthur family can look back over 122 years of service to
the public of Londonderry and the North-West of Northern Ireland. The
first estate agent founded in the City by a member of the Arthur family was set
up in 1880 by Mr Hugh Arthur, who opened his business in Castle Street after having
spent several years with one of the leading legal firms in the North-West. The
business was continued by Mr Arthur's son, Mr Jack Arthur, who made an outstanding
contribution to estate agency and property management. In
1967, Mr John V Arthur became the third generation to continue the family profession
which he entered after taking a BSc degree in Estate Management at London University. In
1980 Mr Jeremy Arthur, a Fellow of the National Association of Estate Agents,
became the fourth generation to enter the family profession. Jeremy took over
direction of the estate agency business at 150 Spencer Road, Waterside in March
1995. Recognised as one of the leading estate agents in Londonderry
the firm of John V Arthur is in an ideal position to give sound advice to anyone
who is considering selling or letting residential or commercial property in Northern
Ireland. PROPERTY SALES
provides our clients with a first class service acting fully on
their behalf in the sale of property in Northern Ireland whether
it be residential or commercial.
The first step is to give clients expert
advice in relation to an asking price for the property to be placed on the market.
Correct advice here is crucial as an incorrect asking price can damage initial
interest in a property and slow down the sales process.
We then produce a
sales brochure, being mindful of the Property Misdescriptions Act, for distribution
to prospective purchasers, place details with colour photograph in our Residential
& Commercial Property Guides, place your property on our web site www.johnvarthur.com
(and for residential property) on www.propertynews.com ,display your property
in our window display (which is lit up until 11.30pm) and erect a For Sale Board
at your property.
We have found in recent times that most of our enquiries
come from the following four sources;
For Sale Board, Web Site, Window Display
and Property Guide.
The advantage of this is that it is no longer necessary
to rely on expensive newspaper advertising to market your property thereby reducing
costs to our clients. That said some newspaper advertising may be desirable for
certain types of property.
Once your property is placed on the market we conduct
a mail shot using our specialist software to produce a mailing letter incorporating
colour photograph and brief details to whet the prospective purchasers appetite.
As part of our sales service we can also offer accompanied viewing.
At John
V Arthur Estate Agents in Northern Ireland we keep our clients fully informed
of progress during the sales activity.
We utilise over 120 years experience
and knowledge to offer advice guiding you through what can be, in the case of
residential sales, one of the most stressful events in your life, to a successful
completion.
If you are considering selling residential or commercial property
please contact us for a current market analysis of your property.
