Sellers Stories, Lucy, Buckley

Lucy had instructed an agent on her late parent’s property who had it on the market for a number of months but unfortunately they weren't able to find her a buyer.

Lucy was recommended to us by her brother who had also just sold his property with us. I listened to her story so far and it turned out to be her late parents property. Her Mum had just passed away and the property had gone into probate. I advised her that the house could still be marketed but the property couldn't be sold until probate was granted.

We came up with a plan of action and I promised that Keystone would take care of everything for her including conducting all the viewings. We do this at Keystone as standard practise but in delicate situations like this one it is an absloute must for obvious reasons.

I also advised that when we found a buyer on the property her and her siblings would be kept up to date via our shared portal which is updated on a weekly basis with progression reports from both solicitors involved. Her buyer would also have access keeping her engaged all the way through the process.

We love a happy client and the team were made up to receive a five star review on facebook. Thank you Lucy.

Taking your first step into selling can feel like stepping into a swirl of opinions — family advice, colleague stories, neighbour tales of “quick” sales or “nightmare” chains. It’s a lot 😅

If you’re hoping to move in the next few months, it’s tempting to believe the best homes appear first on the portals. But the truth is, the most switched-on buyers — the kind of proactive, organised people we work with every day — are seeing homes long before they ever reach Rightmove, Zoopla or OnTheMarket 👀✨

November has been an outstanding month for Keystone — and the data is crystal clear. From 1st to 24th November, we’ve agreed 23 property sales, making this one of the strongest months we’ve ever recorded. It’s further proof that when a home is priced with precision and launched with purpose, the market responds quickly and decisively.

If you’re aiming to make your move in the first half of 2026, now is the perfect moment to start preparing. As the evenings draw in and the pace naturally slows, the homeowners who get ahead now are the ones who enjoy the smoothest, quickest, and most profitable moves come spring 🌿✨
