Traditional Marketing
This is the normal and most common form of marketing a seller’s home. Traditional Marketing means we list and advertise your home using the most common-practice channels – online (Rightmove, Zoopla, OntheMarket, Primelocation, Relocation Agent Network and our website), as well as targeted marketing to our extensive database of registered buyers via phone calls and mail outs.Secured Sale
This approach to marketing a property is for sellers who require both speed and security in the selling of their home. Typically, there will be a contractual 56-day completion period and a non-refundable reservation fee paid by the buyer upon acceptance of their offer. This results in less than 5% of sales fall through and helps sellers reach completion of their sale faster. The selling fees are also payable by the buyer rather than the seller.To find out more about Miles & Barr’s property marketing solutions, book a FREE in-person valuation.

Every seller’s position and reason to sell is unique to them. As East Kent’s leading estate agency with more than two decades of proven success marketing homes, we offer our selling clients four different options when it comes to the marketing of their homes. This means we can tailor things to suit your own personal circumstances rather than taking a “one size fits all” approach.
Market Ready
This is for the seller who would like to get their home’s marketing material ready, in anticipation of placing their property on the market at a future date that best suits them. Being Market Ready allows sellers to get everything organised but without promoting their home on the open market. When you tell us you’re ready, we can have your property live online across our website and the property portals – Rightmove, Zoopla and OnTheMarket – with the click of a button.
Discreet Marketing
This is for our clients who know they want to move but either have a need for discretion or want to keep the pressure off. With this in mind, we have two approaches to Discreet Marketing:
1. Low-profile marketing is provided to ensure that your home is promoted to buyers, but the promotion of it is kept discreet and targeted.
2. Alternatively, we can also market a seller’s property using the traditional estate agency method but with tailored conditions attached that match the seller’s requirements.

Do I need to be present for all the viewings?
So long as you have granted us access to your property your presence is not required. We accompany all viewings and it is worth knowing that potential buyers usually feel more relaxed if the owner is not present.
Do I have to pay Stamp Duty?
The buyer is responsible for paying the Stamp Duty.
When I accept an offer will my property still be viewed?
Your property will only continue to be viewed depending on the offer and your preferences.
Will I have to pay Capital Gains tax on my property?
If the property is your main home, you will not have to pay Capital Gains Tax so long as you satisfy certain requirements. If you are selling a property that is not your main home it is more than likely that Capital Gains Tax will incur.
Will I need to redecorate my property before it goes on the market?
There is no requirement to redecorate your property before it goes on the market, but if there are some areas looking really rundown you may well benefit from giving them a retouch of paint or a tidy up. See our seller's guide for more information on presenting your property.

Here are some common questions and answers people have about selling their property.
How much is it going to cost me to sell my property?
There are a few costs involved in selling your property:
Estate agent commission – The commission fees are payable once your estate agent sells your property and the contracts have been signed. The charge is a percentage of the sale price and VAT. Your estate agent will make you aware of fees you’ll incur in your preliminary meeting.
Energy Performance Certificate – You must have commissioned an EPC before your property can go on the market. We can organise your EPC – Energy Performance Certificate, just get in touch with your local branch to sort this out or call us on 01304 626 444.
Conveyancing fees – the legal fees are dependent on your solicitor.
What and where are my Title Deeds?
Your Title Deeds are the proof that you own your property. They are usually held by your bank or building society if you have a mortgage and your solicitor will obtain the deeds and make a copy for the buyer’s solicitor.
Who will conduct the viewings on my property once it’s on the market and when will they occur?
We will offer to accompany all viewings during our opening hours. Our opening hours aim to meet the requirements of all our clients, we are open seven days a week for viewings.
