Plain Selling Brochure 2025

Plain Selling

Out front since way back when

The more years you spend in business, the more you learn about what people really want from their estate agent. And now we’re into our eighth decade, we’ve learnt a great deal.

The services you appreciate most? We’ve perfected them. The approach you prefer? We’ve made it part of our culture. It adds up to a partnership that’s all about you… focusing on what you really want.

From that

That’s how one Islington office has grown to a network of branches across the south of England. And it’s also why you can count on us to look after you and your property needs properly.

When you’re looking to sell, we’re

right by your side

We treat your property sale as a journey—and we’re here to guide you every step of the way, whether you want friendly advice, active support, or just a simple update. You can rely on our people to look after your best interests… even when you’re busy getting on with other things.

We work to the high standards that you expect, because they’re the same standards we set for ourselves. We make it our business to offer refreshingly helpful advice that will help secure a sale in the way that works for you.

Ready to hear a little more about what we do? Talk to us and let us demonstrate how we can tick all your moving boxes.

Welcome to Andrews.

Stay in-the-know with our straight-talking service

For some, selling a property is a lifechanging event. For others, it’s an everyday business deal. Whether you’re trading up, downsizing, or managing a portfolio of properties, you’ll appreciate our honest, straightforward approach (and so will interested buyers).

As part of that, we’re committed to making things simpler. So you can count on us not to confuse things with unnecessary waffle, break out the bold claims or squirrel away the hidden details.

We write our small print big

These details contain no artificial colours, no super-wide angle images, no props, no overstatement, no pressure and no urgency. Instead you can count on our reassuring advice and refreshing service to help you with the big decisions. All our terms are out in the open, in plain English and easy to understand.

When we sell your property, we know that we’re representing you. And everything we do—from how we take your photographs, to what we say and how we say it—is done with integrity.

A great photo is the first step in bringing buyers to your door. So we’re committed to making sure your shots really capture the essence of your home, without resorting to unrealistic filters or distorted angles.

We make sure that we highlight your property’s best features to best effect.

A picture is worth a thousand words, which is why we take time getting the right images to give potential buyers a look into your home by showing them the best bits.

We won’t use any special effects in our photos. It’s a basic point of honesty that buyers, and sellers, appreciate.

Mortgage advice you can depend on

At Andrews Mortgage Services, our experienced advisers are here to guide you through one of life’s biggest decisions. We know that buying a home is a big commitment - so whether it's your first home or your fifth, you won’t want to do anything until you know exactly what’s what.

YOUR HOME MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE

Insurance and life cover

Buying a home is a serious decision. That’s why our mortgage and protection advisers work to bring you peace of mind and make sure that you’ve got the right cover in place.

We can help organise critical illness cover, home insurance, income protection benefit and life insurance.

Can-do conveyancing

We know you want the legal process to be a really positive experience – that’s why we partner with Taylor Rose, expert conveyancing solicitors who are dedicated to making your property transaction as smooth as possible. Their super friendly and experienced team can help ensure your move progresses without unnecessary delays. With a dedicated solicitor offering a personal service, technology designed to help speed up the process, and regular updates, you will always be informed and in control.

Contact your local branch to find out more.

Anti-money laundering checks: simple and secure

As part of the selling process, we need to carry out anti-money laundering (AML) checks to confirm your identity and confirm ownership of the property. These checks are a legal requirement and are similar to the process of proving your identity when you open a new bank account. We’ll guide you through every step to make the process as smooth as possible.

We have partnered with Credas, who offer a best-in- class identity verification platform to ensure accuracy and security of your data. The slick, easy-to -use platform saves you time, allowing you to focus on what matters most. Easily upload your documents using a smartphone, computer or laptop to securely submit documents at your convenience – or if you’d prefer to pop into branch, so that one of our team can assist you, that’s absolutely fine too.

Administrative fee

We charge an administrative fee of £62 50 plus VAT (£75 including VAT) for carrying out these anti-money laundering checks. There’s nothing to pay upfront, this fee will only be payable upon completion, and when we are entitled to our commission fee. We are committed to compliance, and this covers technological expenses, investment in staff training , document processing and checks, and additional insurance costs.

We don’t blow our own trumpet. We let others do it for us

The Andrews philosophy is all about making life easier for you. What gets us up in the morning isn’t “doing property” - but doing property right

Don’t just take our word for it. We’ve been recognised by Feefo and The ESTAS to win awards that are based entirely on the feedback of our customers.
