Thank you for this feedback. In the last couple of weeks we have published a " guide to selling your home" which deals with the process in some detail and is sent out with our sales letters. We recognise that selling a house is not something you do every day so a few helpful hints will relieve some of the stress. As for the flowers. We have always felt that it is a nice way to welcome someone to their new home and helped improve our image in the eyes of the purchasing public and by extension imp ...
