W PROPERTY L SKELLENS ESTATE AGENTS LAUNCH IN WALLASEY Ever wish you could still find an estate agent who believed in a modern day service with old fashioned customer care? One Wallasey estate agents noticed a trend in people not wanting to do everything online and actually (dare I say it?) speak to a person and so they have come up with a concept to offer a unique customer experience. Skellens in Wallasey believes that three little things make all the difference... Efficiency, Simplicity and Transparency. The company, whose new branch is run by three local people who jointly have in excess of 70 years professional experience in law and accountancy, says efficiency is essential as they are responsible for ensuring that the journey from A to B is smooth and swift. This includes embracing modern technology but it's not the be all and end all. Simplicity is deemed necessary because the conveyancing process, while second nature to the experts, is a minefield and difficult to follow unless it is simplified. 52 wirrallife.com Finally, transparency, as customers need to know where they stand from beginning to end. Guy Platt-Higgins from Skellens said: "Our extensive market research revealed that there are several faults in the current system and we could not stand idly by. When someone has an expensive asset to sell and a difficult process to go through. They want guidance rather than glossy marketing gimmicks and vague promises of “cheapest and quickest." "Our website explains the process as does our literature. Nothing is hidden. Our fees are not subject to caveats or hidden extras. They are there for all to see. Our terms and conditions are provided at the outset and everyone knows what is expected of them throughout the process." Skellens new branch is now open on Wallasey Road, Wallasey.
