Step 1 of 2The process
How a Orpington (BR5) sale runs with us
Four stages, one person. Nothing is handed to someone you have not met.
01
A valuation you can argue with
We walk the house, look at what has actually exchanged nearby rather than what is still on the market, and give you a range with reasoning attached. If we think the number in your head is too high, we will say so before you instruct us, not six weeks later.
02
Photography and copy worth the house
One photographer, one day, natural light, and a floorplan that reads properly. We write the copy ourselves. Buyers at this level scroll past interchangeable listings; the job is to make yours the one they stop on.
03
Viewings we conduct ourselves
Every viewing, including the Saturday ones. Buyers ask detailed questions about leases, works and running costs, and the answers are frequently what turns an interested visitor into an offer.
04
Negotiation and the quiet fortnight
We negotiate on price and terms, then stay on the sale through survey, searches and the fortnight before completion when most chains wobble. That last stretch is where a senior agent actually earns their fee.

Questions sellers ask about Orpington (BR5)
- How much is my house worth in Orpington (BR5)?
- Across 862 sales registered with HM Land Registry in BR5, the median price paid is £450,000 — by type: semi-detached houses £500,000, terraced houses £385,000, detached houses £830,000. Half of all sales sit between £363,000 and £625,000; where yours falls depends on size, condition, lease and the exact street, which is what a valuation pins down.
- How long does it take to sell a house in Orpington (BR5)?
- The Land Registry does not record time on market, so treat any precise figure with caution. 472 sales were registered in Orpington (BR5) in the latest twelve months of data, and in our experience a well-priced London home takes around ten to sixteen weeks from launch to completion, most of it conveyancing.
- What are estate agent fees in Orpington (BR5)?
- London agents typically charge between 1% and 2% plus VAT on a sole agency basis. On the Orpington (BR5) median of £450,000, that is roughly £4,500 to £9,000 plus VAT. Multi-agency fees are higher; ask what is included before comparing.
- Do I need a valuation before selling?
- Yes. In Orpington (BR5) the middle half of registered sales spans £363,000 to £625,000, so an area median alone tells you little about your own home. A valuation sets the asking price, the strategy and the timing — and it is free.
- How accurate are online valuations?
- An online estimate works from averages and cannot see condition, light, lease length or outside space. With prices in Orpington (BR5) ranging from £225,000 to £1.01m across most sales, the error can easily run to tens of thousands of pounds. Use one as a starting point, not a price.
