Did You Fail to Sell in 2025?

Or maybe you’ve lost hope in agents and the market this year? You’re not alone. 2025 has been a year of change, and at Carringtons, we’ve completely flipped the traditional estate agency model on its head—and the results have been beyond our expectations.

Our Year in Review: Transformation in Action

This year, we had the unique opportunity to A/B test our old, traditional method against our new, client-first process. The results speak for themselves:

Metric	Old Way	New Way
% of Entrance Price	-4%	+3%
Number of Viewers	11	18
Number of Offering Parties	2	4
Time Until Under Offer (weeks)	13	5
Time Until Exchange (weeks)	15	11
Time Until Completion (weeks)	28	16

We’re proud to say our new process delivers faster results, more genuine interest, and better outcomes for our clients.

This Month’s Highlights: December Defies Expectations

December is usually our slowest month, but this year, we’ve seen some standout activity:

	2 New Listings	4 Properties (inc one off market)
Viewing Parties	22	Av: 19 Fewest: 4 Most: 26
Offers	TBC	Av: 4-5 Fewest: 2 Most: 6
Status	For Sale	Exchanged
Time on the market (days)	13 days (tbc)	Av: 10 weeks Longest: 22 weeks Quickest: 2 weeks

Our First “Failure”

This year also brought our first so-called “failure”: an owner who, after seeing three competing bids and discovering the true market value, chose to keep their property. Instead of disappointment, we celebrated their gratitude for our honesty and transparency and belief in our process and strategy, a refreshing call for what traditionally would have been a sour end to a relationship.

If you’re tired of the usual agency runaround, or just want to see what’s possible with a fresh approach, let’s talk. Here’s to more success stories in 2026!

The Carringtons Team

Some social media highlights:

At least three bidders miss out on almost every Carringtons property—unprepared for our rapid sales pace.
Carringtons sells properties in under three weeks by creating competitive markets, catching many buyers off guard.

1. Our process swiftly attracts multiple qualified buyers within two weeks.
2. Unprepared buyers often feel surprised and disappointed by the speed.
3. We ensure every buyer has a fair chance—without regret.

- First-Time Buyers: Secure a mortgage in principle, proof of deposit, and a conveyancer.
- Cash Buyers: Demonstrate immediate proceedability with conveyancer-verified funds.
- Buyers with Homes to Sell: Ideally have your property under offer, solicitors instructed, and an exchange timeline.

Our priority is sellers: we generate qualified offers quickly for optimal choices, strengthening their position for onward purchases.
Each seller's needs vary; we present all offers equally and advise on the best fit—valuing certainty over price alone. For instance, a swift cash buyer may prevail over a higher chained offer.
If selling in Kingston or surrounds, discuss how our process accelerates your sale—positioning you strongly for any purchase.
