We understand that the sale of a property can be a difficult and stress-inducing process, if not handled appropriately. We also truly appreciate the trust placed in us when we are instructed to handle the sale of what is, for most, their largest and most personal asset.
This is why we work hard to make sure that the sale of your home progresses as smoothly as possible. We understand that each of our client’s circumstances is unique and so we offer a bespoke, effective, personal service, tailored to suit you and your individual requirements.
“From the first time you speak with this agent you realise there is something uniquely different to anyone else out there. They listen, understand your requirements and quickly identify what you are looking for. Throughout our search process it’s felt like we have been house shopping with friends. Whilst house buying is roller coaster the team here will do anything possible to take the stress away and go that extra mile to support you – doing viewings at night/weekends and even days off.” Client testimonial via Feefo.
Each member of our team at Charters is specifically trained and dedicated to a relevant role in the sale and marketing process and you will have your own primary contact to oversee this process, keeping you up to date with consistent communication every step of the way.
Working closely together, and on your behalf, are our Sales Managers who are devoted to securing viewings and offers for your property. Our senior personnel within each branch will then negotiate on your behalf to ensure we achieve the best price possible and once an acceptable offer is agreed, our dedicated Sales Progression team will see your sale through to completion, liaising with all parties, updating you and advising you at every stage through to the successful completion of your sale.
Working with Charters ensures you have the best of everything.

Charters began in 2009 with one office in central Winchester and have since grown the network with a high street presence in Alresford, Alton, Bishops Waltham, Chandlers Ford, Farnham, Park Gate, Romsey and Southampton.
Yet we remain a local business, founded and run by local property experts and we understand the area and our market like no other.
At Charters, we appreciate the significant impact that marketing has on the sale of a property and we are dedicated to ensuring that our clients feel comfortable with and confident in the marketing strategy we propose.
We actively market our properties on Rightmove and On The Market portals and across our social media channels – Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn. Where suitable, we also have access to the main regional printed press and magazine titles.
Whilst we are the experts when it comes to selling your home, we always use experts to take professional photography and provide floorplans for your property to ensure that we appeal to as wide an audience as possible and that your property is presented at its very best.
We also offer online video property tours and 360 degree Virtual Tours (Matterport) for out-of-area buyers to really get a feel for your home from afar. Because of our network, we are also able to offer drone photography and video to achieve some outstanding images and footage from above.
So confident are we in our ability to secure a buyer for you, at the best possible price, that we do not charge any upfront or additional marketing fees. Our fee only becomes due on successful legal completion of a sale.
Understanding the importance of online marketing, we also truly recognise that this business is about people. This is why we are open seven days a week and are on hand 24/7 to allow potential buyers, local or afar, the opportunity to learn about and view your property.
It is important to understand that our primary source of marketing is us! We have a committed structure where all of our Sales Managers are in the office for hours each day, speaking to our clients and securing viewings for your property.
Our welcoming, enthusiastic and professional attitude and ethic over the years has ensured that we know our buyers and their needs personally and as such we have acquired a vast database of potential buyers whose requirements meet that of your home.
