What to Consider Once You've Chosen Your Estate Agent – Advice from Mundys

So, you have selected your estate agent—great news! Choosing the right partner is a key step in your moving journey.

But what comes next? At Mundys, we believe that clear communication, preparation, and setting expectations early can make the whole process smoother and more successful.

Here’s what to keep in mind once you’ve made your choice.

1. Understand the Agreement
Before anything else, make sure you fully understand the terms of your agency agreement:

Is it a sole-agency or multi-agency contract?
What’s the notice or tie-in period?
Are there any additional fees, such as for photography or premium listings?

At Mundys, we always talk you through this step to ensure there are no surprises later on.

2. Get Your Property Ready
Now is the time to make sure your property is presented at its best. From cleaning and decluttering to small repairs and home staging, your Mundys agent will offer advice tailored to your property and buyer profile. A little effort here can have a big impact on interest and offers.

3. Plan Your Marketing Strategy
Ask your agent how your home will be marketed. At Mundys, we use a powerful combination of professional photography, detailed floorplans, online property portals, social media, and our extensive local database to get your home seen by the right buyers.

Make sure you’re happy with the listing, including:

Photos
Description
Asking price
Key selling features

You should feel confident that your home is being promoted properly.

4. Be Viewing-Ready
Discuss with your agent how viewings will be handled. Will they accompany all appointments? How much notice will you get? A good agent will work around your schedule while also making sure you don’t miss opportunities.
Mundys provides accompanied viewings to take the pressure off you and give buyers the best experience possible.

5. Stay in the Loop
Finally, agree on how often you’ll get updates. You should expect regular communication on feedback, interest, and progress. Your agent should be proactive, transparent, and available when you need them.

At Mundys, we do more than just list your property - we partner with you every step of the way. If you’ve chosen us, rest assured you’re in good hands.

April is the final window for landlords in England to prepare for the first phase of the Renters’ Rights Act. With the new tenancy regime starting on 1 May 2026, now is the time to review paperwork, processes and whether self-management still feels realistic.

As we move through May 2026, buyers are seeing more homes come to market, but affordability still matters. Here is what today’s mix of greater choice, steady demand and higher mortgage costs means if you are planning a move.

Located within the sought-after Burton Waters development just west of Lincoln, ‘The View’ is an exclusive collection of modern, eco-friendly detached bungalows designed specifically for the over-55s lifestyle market.

For tenants, April is a useful point to pause and plan. With rents still rising across the UK and the first phase of rental reform approaching in England, this is a good time to review your budget, renewal options and next move.
