Martin Hicks

Hi, my name is Martin Hicks. I've just sold a townhouse, a leasehold property in Plymouth down by the harbor side. I sold it through Springbok. I got hold of them online looking for a company that amongst other things specialized in people buying for-let properties.

Springbok rep: We have two main types of clients. Cash guaranteed clients that want a sale in days or weeks. They don't want to go on the market and they don't want client viewers. Or, we have clients that want a dull market value sale with the security of auction. This includes buyer deposits, proceedable buyers with a fast sale, quick completion.

Martin: That was important for us because we wanted to sell the property and then be able to rent it for a short while a new house we were having built was completed. That's now happened and we are very satisfied with Springbok and the two girls that looked after us. One was Victoria Coggrey who introduced us to the company, then we had a follow-up lady called Molly Holsbby, who was very energetic – as well as Victoria – to help push the sale through. There were several slow moments because of the solicitor being a bit picky but we managed to override that. Finally, we sold the house, which was very easy.

Springbok rep: It's a good idea to preplan your sale and talk to a solicitor before going to market. They can begin the groundwork and locate all the important documents that will be required for the sale. Details of mortgage lenders, deeds and any planning permissions can take some time to put in order, so having your solicitor onsite will prevent any unnecessary delays once a buyer's been found.

Springbok rep: What will be valuable to you is to speak to us and allow us to tailor our services to your situation in a timescale that works for you. 

Martin: We are more than satisfied with our experience with Springbok and would certainly recommend them to other people who are wanting to do something similar. That's all I have to say I think, so thank you to Springbok and goodbye.

Springbok rep: Springbok are a fast-selling specialist and a cash buyer.

We have a fantastic culture based on transparency and hard work within the business, always backed up by an amazing team who've been with the business for many years.
