World's most expensive car sells - And it wasn't on Autotrader!

World's most expensive car sells - And it wasn't on Autotrader!

What does this have to do with me buying a home you may ask? Well, the home you are looking for may be available to buy but not on the open market.

I think we will all agree what an incredible car the Mercedes-Benz 1955 300 SLR Uhlenhaut coupe is. On May 5, 2022, it sold to a private buyer for 135 million euros ($142,769,250) in a secret auction.

A report in The Times on 6th June 2022 suggests one in ten houses are now sold discreetly. This means they did not appear on any of the usual property portals.

To make sure you are aware of ALL properties Newboulds & Co are instructed to sell, we recommend you create your own Heads Up Property Search. That way you will receive a notification of suitable properties as soon as we are instructed, way BEFORE it could ever make it to Rightmove, Zoopla and Primelocation.

We have recently agreed sales 'off market' on the following properties:

  • Four bedroom detached house in one of Chertsey's most popular roads.
  • A stunning detached bungalow, just a short walk from Shepperton High Street.
  • An incredibly popular modernist property designed by Edward Schoolheifer in Shepperton
  • Two Freehold garages in Shepperton

If you have any questions regarding finding your next home or selling your home off market, please contact David Long.

Selling for the first time can feel overwhelming. Everyone has advice, most of it conflicting. Here are the key questions to ask every estate agent, plus the step-by-step process you’ll go through to launch your home the right way.

If you have ever thought about selling your Shepperton home, you will know how tempting it can be to stretch the asking price. After all, it is your biggest tax-free asset, and those extra few thousand pounds can feel like a sensible cushion. Yet in the Shepperton property market, ambition can sometimes cost more than it earns.

For many, the first time you sell a home is completely different to when you were a first time buyer. This time, you have to balance the sale of your current property and the purchase of your new home.

A client has very kindly shared their experience of their recent move from Shepperton to begin a very exciting new chapter abroad.
