Over 40 years of combined
experience
Hilton King & Locke opened in 2001 and the Directors,
Mark Prieg, Leigh Gridley, and Jann Prieg have over 40 years
of combined Estate Agency experience. We understand that
buying or selling a home can be a stressful time – our
aim is to remove all those stresses and strains by offering
a personal yet innovative approach, designed to put all buyers’ and
sellers’ minds at ease. Moving home can be a life changing
experience and we like to think that we’ve developed
a comprehensive range of services to cater for your every
need.
A Professional, Hardworking
Team
We have been careful to select staff
we feel convey the professional manner in which the Directors
operate at Hilton King & Locke. All the staff you will
deal with have the same hunger for providing excellent
customer service and a real desire to sell your property
for the best possible price. We employ staff who have been
trained to a high standard to qualify prospective buyers
on their ability, motivation, and financial position to
buy property before allowing them to view your home. In
order to ensure we are able to provide excellent local
knowledge we are careful to recruit staff that live in
the local area. Mark Prieg and Leigh Gridley carry out
the valuations on all of the properties and it is then
the responsibility of our sales team to find the buyers.
This is achieved by proactively contacting all potential
buyers for the properties by telephone, email, post, or text
message to ensure as many people are offered your property
as possible to achieve the best possible sale price.
Full Colour Sales Particulars
The presentation of your home is extremely important. The
first impression of a property is often a lasting one, therefore
we are careful to produce property particulars, which are
not only accurate and informative, but also particulars,
which are, eye catching and interesting. They are prepared
in full colour and will include excellent digital photography.
Once prepared they will be sent to you as the homeowner for
approval and then circulated to our database of waiting buyers.
Internal and External Photography
It is proposed that a selection of internal and external
photographs are taken to illustrate and highlight the best
marketing features of your property and these will then be
incorporated within the sales particulars, internet website
and newspaper advertising.
Floor Plans
We are able to prepare a floor plan of your property free
of charge, which are invaluable for illustrating the size
and layout of your property. We also have the facility of
upgrading this floor plan to a three-dimensional walk through,
details of which are available on request.
Virtual Tours
A free on line Virtual Tour will be prepared on your property
thus giving you a huge advantage over other properties on
the market and will provide your property with the coverage
it deserves. A virtual tour will tempt potential buyers to
view your home by offering them the opportunity to explore
rooms in detail and enjoy views of the garden from the comfort
of their own home or office.
Quality Newspaper Advertising
Your property will be featured in our prestigious
and eye catching full colour advertisement in the Property
News covering Buckinghamshire and Berkshire. The description
of the properties are carefully written in consultation with
the sellers to ensure we attract the right type of buyer
who will see the most value in your home. Within the advertisement
internal and external photographs are used to ensure the
best representation of our properties.
Extensive
Internet Advertising on major websites
Extensive Internet Advertising on major
websites. We also advertise our properties on www.rightmove.co.uk,
www.findaproperty.com, and www.home-sale.co.uk. These sites
attract millions of visits from the home moving public each
month. The sites offer the facility to feature external and
internal photographs, floor plans, virtual tours, and full
particulars of our properties.

as the best independent estate agent by Home Sale Network
to represent them in Iver. Home Sale Network is a division
of Cartus, the premier provider of global relocation services,
moving over 100,000 families every year. In the UK, Cartus
uses Network members to help buy and sell homes for these

to their relocating employees. As well as relocating families
moving with Cartus, the Home Sale Network helps house movers
in other parts of the country by referring buyers and sellers

Extensive Database of Waiting
Buyers
We currently have in excess of 1000 potential purchasers
registered on our network of computers within the office.
Upon receiving your instructions to market your home, the
property will be matched against our client database using
our specially designed estate agency software. The system
will then automatically provide us with a list of suitable
buyers who will be contacted by telephone, and then the sales
particulars will be posted or emailed to all interested parties.
Accompanied Viewings
Once interest has been generated in
the property, appointments for quality prospective purchasers
to inspect the property will be arranged at your convenience.
We would be more than happy to accompany prospective buyers
around your property. Alternatively, if it easier for you
we are able to hold a key and show buyers around your property
for you. We can confirm that our keys are held secure in
a coded system, and that a member of staff at Hilton King & Locke
would always accompany any prospective purchaser to tour
your home.
Regular Progress Reports
One of our key objectives is to ensure that at all times
our vendors receive the best possible service and advice
from us. In order to ensure that this is maintained we guarantee
to provide you with a full progress report on a weekly basis.
At this point we will discuss the marketing to date and any
suggested amendments to our future approach. Our computer
system also provides a print out of information on how many
particulars have been sent out and viewing appointments have
taken place including feedback to date and can be forwarded
to you at any time during the marketing.
Feedback on all Viewings
We guarantee to provide feedback on all
viewing appointments the day after the appointment takes
place where we are able to contact the buyer in question.
At this point we will report any comments including feedback
to date, this can be forwarded to you whether good or bad,
as we feel that all feedback is constructive.
Qualified Offer Negotiation
All offers received by us will of course be communicated
to you at the earliest convenience. At this point we will
advise you of the offer amount, the buying position, and
relevant timescale of the prospective purchaser. We undertake
to negotiate the best possible sale price we can for your
property. Once a sale has been agreed we will liase with
the solicitors and estate agents involved in the chain and
maintain our regular contact with you keeping you updated
of all developments. Our aim is to ensure the sale progresses
through to exchange of contracts and completion as smoothly
as possible.
