What makes Moores Estate Agents so successful?
The Market Leaders in 2022-2023
We are grateful to all the Vendors, Buyers and our Team who made this achievement possible. We also sell homes quicker than any other agent with a large number of properties selling discreetly, before they hit the open market.
Step by Step Guide: The Sales Process
An in-depth guide on how we sell your property and what we do to advertise it to out of area
buyers!
Step 1
Accurate Valuation

One of our expert valuers will visit your property to discuss a marketing plan, recommend a pricing strategy for your property and suggest any recommendations that can improve or add value to your property to achieve the best price.
Our Valuations are free and without obligation.
Step 2
Selecting an Estate Agent
Click to Expand
When choosing an agent consider their local presence and what kind of marketing your property will receive. What are their contract terms? There is no doubt that a sole agency is far preferable to asking lots of agents to market your property, particularly in terms of accountability. But some agents insist on a sole agency tie-in period of 8, 12, or even 16 weeks! At Moores, we just request 28 days.
Step 3

Discreet Listing Explained
Often when a vendor is confident that they can sell at the level they wish, they instruct us to search for their perfect onward purchase; all of which can be done with the utmost discretion. With discreet marketing buyers are willing to bid strong to prevent a property even reaching the open market putting our vendors in a win / win situation. Due to our unique no charge country home sourcing service, we have many buyers who do not search online or in the press but leave it to us to find them their dream home; this works hand in hand with our discreet marketing service and allows people to buy and sell with complete discretion.
Click to ExpandOur discreet marketing service has become very popular and is an excellent way of getting a feel for what buyers may be willing to pay and the level of interest you may receive without entering into lengthy contracts or paying any upfront marketing costs; costs and commitment which is likely to be required by other country homes agents. We often describe our discreet marketing as being a “litmus test” of the market and no vendor is obliged to commit to the interest that it may generate.
Marketing your property
Your property will be marketed through all of the major property websites to ensure we gain maximum exposure.
We work with professional photographers and always provide a floor plan. Pictures, price and floor plans are key. Prior to any open market launch, all properties are matched out to our extensive database of active buyers, both local and out of area.
Moores Home Search

For parents of day children, there is growing pressure to find a quality home within 10 – 15 minutes of their chosen school.

Moores Meet & Greet Service
Click to Expand
With our Meet & Greet Service (which is linked to our partners London office), we don’t just give buyers the details of your property we take them TO IT.
We don’t just give buyers the details of your property, with our Meet & Greet Service we take them TO IT.
We meet relocating buyers from mainline train stations and take them to view properties on the market, both fully listed and discreet properties. For those buyers not familiar with our area, it helps show just what our area has to offer and we learn in more detail about buyer’s requirements en route.
We also take your property to buyers in the South with our unique series of Property Road Shows which run throughout the year. We have more buyers than ever registering from the South looking to relocate to our areas and also encourage them to our area with specialist national marketing in the likes of Country Life and Horse & Hound
Commuting Buyers:
With an increase in home working and occasional travel in to the City, homes in villages with good access to mainline train stations at Peterborough, Grantham and Market Harborough are in high demand. We can introduce a relocating or commuting buyer to your home without even going to the open market!.
Moores Minute Guides:
One of our USPs is our “Moores Minute Guides” where we showcase our area to out of area buyers alongside every property’s individual virtual tour. These guides and tours increase the viewing to offer ratio because buyers have made an informed choice before stepping through the door.
Moores Video Production:
It’s a known fact that customers who look at videos of products and services are 85% more likely to make a purchase than those who don’t!
From a buyer’s point of view, seeing a video of the property that they are interested in buying brings the experience to life. They are able to “walk through their new home” instead of trying to imagine the flow of rooms and features. If the property isn’t for them, they will know in an instant. But if the property does feels right, then the video will have helped the buyer to feel familiar with the surroundings when they do actually view the property.
We have chosen to take property videos to the next level by using a professional camera crew and where possible drone footage, allowing us to bring each property to life and giving a prospective buyer the ability to get a feel for the property as if they are almost inside themselves; no matter where they are in the world!
