6 A STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS
REFINED MAGAZINE

A strategy for success A STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS
REFINED MAGAZINE
“It is a case of presenting and promoting your property
as if it were our own.” 7

At Fine & Country we understand moving home is one of the most important
decisions you can make; your home is both a financial and emotional investment.

We take the instruction to sell your home as a privilege, an honour and as a very
serious commitment to you. Through excellent marketing, we deliver an efficient
sales process and a courteous, careful service.

People buy as much into the lifestyle of the property as they do the bricks and
mortar. Exclusive properties require a bespoke and imaginative promotional
approach. Recognising this, we have designed a unique and successful marketing
strategy, enhancing the lifestyle of the property.

The widespread exposure of your property is also crucial. In today’s market not
only is the mobility of buyers greater than ever, but also the ways in which they may
access information.

Your prospective buyer could come from, quite literally, anywhere – through local
and regional marketing, through national newspapers and magazines or, increasingly,
internationally using the interactive technologies such as the internet, touchscreens
and smart phones.

Instruct us and you could benefit from our knowledge, experience, expertise and
contacts and our well trained, educated and courteous staff. You are assisted,
advised and informed through each stage of the whole transaction.

Every Fine & Country property consultant is a member of either The Property
Ombudsman or the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

and individuality.

Just turning into the walled and private development that is Halliday Drive,
you feel you are entering a different world of peace and serenity and you can
understand why it is part of the Walmer seafront conservation area.This entire
complex of historic properties with its large areas of lawns and communal gardens
was the South Barracks army base. It was originally constructed in 1795 as a national
response to the threat created by the Napoleonic Wars and housed a cavalry
regiment and two infantry battalions with further buildings being erected in
1869 when the Royal Marines first moved in. Following their departure and the
subsequent closure of the Barracks, the properties were redeveloped for residential
living at the beginning of the 21st century but still retain some of the old features.
