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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
