Hilton King & Locke opened in 2001 and the Directors, Mark Prieg, Leigh Gridley and Jann Prieg have over 60 years of combined estate agency experience. Choosing the right estate agent can be one of the most important decisions that you make. Property is our passion here at Hilton King & Locke and our focus is to always provide an exceptional service and exceed the expectations of our clients. We understand that buying or selling a home can be a stressful time but by offering a personal yet innovative service, moving home need not be such a challenging experience.
We have been careful to select staff we feel convey the professional manner in which the Directors operate at Hilton King & Locke. All of the staff you will deal with will have the same hunger for providing outstanding customer service and a real desire to sell your property for the best possible price. We employ staff who have been trained to an extremely high standard to qualify prospective buyers on their ability, motivation, and financial position to purchase 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 areas. Our sales team are extremely proactive in contacting all potential buyers for our properties by telephone, email and post to ensure that as many potential buyers as possible are contacted about your property to ensure the very best possible sale price is achieved.
Your home will also be marketed on www.onthemarket.co.uk ensuring your property reaches as many potential buyers as possible. These sites attract millions of visits from the moving public each month. The sites also offer the facility to feature external and internal photographs, floor plans, and full particulars of our properties which is extremely beneficial.
It goes without saying that the quality of 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 high quality property particulars, which are not only accurate and informative, but also eye catching and interesting. They are prepared in full colour and will include excellent professional digital photographs. Once prepared they will be sent to you as the homeowner for approval and then circulated to our database of waiting buyers.
High quality images are essential in modern day estate agency when most buyers start their search on line, it is essential that their attention is immediately captured by stunning imagery of your property. We work with Professional Photographers and a selection of internal and external professional 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, newspaper advertising and our Hilton King & Locke Facebook Search facility on social media. For those properties that are difficult to photograph we also have the facility to carry out elevated photographs and for the near impossible, the company we employ even has a drone that can fly above the property. If you choose to have professional photographs taken, then you will be required to pay for the photographs up front, but this cost is deducted from our fee when the property is sold by Hilton King & Locke. If however, you decide to take the property off the market with Hilton King & Locke and you have paid for the photograhs, these will be forwarded to you. All of the property images featured on this site are photographs of properties we have sold. Please click here for examples.
Floorplans are of course invaluable for illustrating the size and layout of your property. The photograhers we use, prepare floorplans as part of the professional photography package and therefore if you choose to pay for photographs, the floorplan will be included.

We happily accompany prospective buyers around your property. Alternatively, if it is 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 securely in a coded system, and that a member of staff at Hilton King & Locke will always accompany any prospective purchaser to view your home.

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.

We guarantee to provide feedback on all viewing appointments the day after the appointment takes place as long as we are able to contact the buyer in question. At this point we will report any comments including feedback to date, this will be relayed to you whether it is positive or negative, as we feel that all feedback is constructive.
