A more considered approach to selling
Selling your home is a significant decision and getting the details right from the beginning can make all the difference.
Luke Shevels combines over 15 years of industry experience with local market knowledge, professional property presentation and clear, straightforward advice to help position your home for the best possible result.
From preparing your property for photography through to viewings, offers and the progression of your sale, every stage is approached with care.
Selling your home, step by step
A clear, considered process designed to make selling your home feel simple.
Your property valuation
It starts with understanding your home, your circumstances and what you would like to achieve.
Your property will be assessed alongside recent comparable sales, current market conditions and local buyer demand to establish an informed and realistic valuation.
Preparing your home
Before your property reaches the market, we'll look at how it can be presented at its very best.
With training in Interior Design from the British College of Interior Design, Luke can provide practical advice on presentation, layout and styling to help maximise your property's appeal to potential buyers.
Photography & marketing
Once your property is ready, professional photography and a detailed floor plan are produced as standard.
Your listing is then carefully prepared to showcase the property, highlight its strongest features and give prospective buyers a clear sense of the home before they arrange a viewing.
Viewings
When enquiries begin, viewings are arranged at suitable times and accompanied as standard.
Each viewing is an opportunity to properly introduce buyers to the property, answer questions and understand their level of interest, with useful feedback gathered afterwards wherever possible.
Offers & negotiation
When an offer is received, you'll be kept informed and given clear advice to help you decide how you would like to proceed.
It's not always simply about accepting the highest figure. The buyer's circumstances, position in the chain, finances and ability to proceed can all be important when considering the strength of an offer.
Sold to completion
Agreeing a sale is an important milestone, but there is still work to be done.
Once your property is under offer, communication continues throughout the conveyancing process, helping to keep everyone informed and your sale moving towards exchange and completion.
Sold. Completed. Time to make your next move.
Presentation matters
The way a home is presented can have a significant impact on that all-important first impression.
Alongside professional photography and floor plans, Luke's background in interior design brings another perspective to preparing properties for market. From furniture placement and decluttering to styling individual rooms, practical advice can help buyers see your home's full potential.
Professional photography and floor plans are included as standard.
Eastbourne, known inside and out
Having lived in Eastbourne all his life, Luke brings first-hand knowledge of the town, its neighbourhoods and everything the area has to offer.
That local understanding is particularly valuable when speaking to buyers relocating to Eastbourne, helping them understand not only the property they're viewing but the lifestyle, amenities and character of the area around it.
As current President of the Eastbourne Chamber of Commerce, Luke also has strong connections with the local business community and a genuine investment in the town and its future.
Frequently Asked Questions
A property’s value is influenced by more than its size and number of bedrooms. Location, condition, recent comparable sales, improvements to the property and current buyer demand all play a part. An in-person valuation allows these factors to be considered alongside what similar homes are actually achieving in the local market.

Not usually. Buyers will often prefer a well-maintained, clean and properly presented home over one where large amounts have been spent on improvements they may later change themselves. Fixing obvious defects and improving presentation can help, but major renovation work should generally be considered on a property-by-property basis.
Once an offer is accepted, solicitors or conveyancers begin the legal process. The buyer will usually arrange their mortgage, searches and survey while both sides work through enquiries and contracts. The sale does not become legally binding in England until contracts have been exchanged, after which a completion date is agreed.
The right time to sell depends as much on your circumstances as it does on the wider market. Buyer demand, the number of competing homes for sale, mortgage conditions and pricing all affect how quickly a property may sell. A local valuation can give you a clearer picture of current demand for your particular type of home.
You may need documents including your title information, Energy Performance Certificate, planning permissions, building regulation certificates, guarantees and warranties, information about extensions or alterations and certificates for replacement windows or other works. Having these ready early can help prevent unnecessary delays later in the sale.
