Property experts PriceLinsey are changing the game of real estate, establishing themselves as a one-stop multidisciplinary destination for all your property needs. The recently-established firm of chartered surveyors have a head office in Sheffield alongside a regional office in Chesterfield and specialise in property auctions, agency, surveys and valuations. Directors Richard Price and Lara and Marcus Linsey, as well as property consultant Jodie Elliott, are all dedicated to delivering success for their clients across all aspects of property matters.
Between them, the team boast a combined 43 years of experience, each having worn many hats in the property industry across Sheffield, Chesterfield and also Manchester. The three directors had known one another for almost a decade before deciding to venture out on their own and join forces, with Richard and Marcus going on to meet Jodie when they worked alongside each other at another local property firm.
“We’re trying to take a fresh approach to surveying and auctioning,” says Marcus. “A lot of surveyors are outdated and similar but we can bring everything together under one roof, which most estate agents can’t do.”
“And we’re trying to be more proactive and bring a modern twist,” adds Richard. “We’re all local and passionate about the area and we’re bringing our nationwide expertise to a local level.”
RICS Surveys & Valuations
Whilst all members of the team are involved in every service PriceLinsey has to offer, dynamic sibling duo Lara and Marcus lead the auction side of the business, as well as offering RICS valuations, home surveys and building surveys, being RICS Chartered Surveyors. “I pride myself on my efficiency, meticulous attention to detail and fastidious accuracy,” says Lara, who achieved the accolade of being a finalist the ‘RICS Young Surveyor of the Year’ in 2020.
“Utilising the latest technology, I can get a survey back to the client in quick time, but make no mistake, I’m punctilious when it comes to detail, and, refreshingly, all the surveys are written in plain, understandable English. My integrity and the integrity of the business depend on my surveys being completed in a thorough, unambiguous, and precise manner.”
Auctions
However, as the popularity of property auctions is forever rising, not only do PriceLinsey offer the possibility of a stress-free, secure property sale, completing within 28 days, but they uniquely offer live-streamed virtual auctions, where the fall of the hammer is replaced by the click of a button. The idea was birthed as a result of the pandemic restricting traditional, in-person auctions. However, due to their immense success, the team decided to maintain this modern approach.
“We pride ourselves on our accurate advice, an unprecedented high level of client care, and uncompromising integrity.”
“The idea seems to go down well with the clients and it gives people the flexibility to bid at home or at work or wherever they may be, rather than having to come to a room for a specific time,” says Richard.
Auctions are suitable for all types of property, including vacant residential, commercial, and mixed-use properties, tenanted/investment properties, land/development sites, garage blocks and freehold ground rents.
“Anything can sell at auction really,” says Marcus. “We just feel doing the live streams opens up the market to a wider audience. We’ve even had we have buyers from Germany.”
Sales & Lettings
On the flip side of the business, Jodie and Richard look after the property management aspect of PriceLinsey, using their expertise to ensure clients are well informed throughout the entire selling process from initial valuation right through to completion, creating a smooth transaction in an appropriate timeframe.
Richard explains: “We pride ourselves on our accurate advice, an unprecedented high level of client care, and uncompromising integrity.
“By using digital marketing, we make sure that every property is featured to the widest possible audience via extensive online internet advertising on all the major property portals such as Rightmove and OnTheMarket.
That’s where Jodie comes in, also taking charge of the firm’s digital presence across social media to help spread the work of PriceLinsey far and wide. “As an independent agent, we have the freedom to offer an entirely bespoke service to each of our clients,” she says.
“We tailor how we work to achieve our client’s goals and ensure they are kept up to date with progress throughout the entire sales process.”
From a standing start around six months ago, PriceLinsey has built a healthy portfolio of let and managed properties on behalf of their clients, offering a first-class bespoke service providing personalised lettings packages to fit each landlords and tenants’ individual circumstances.
The firm uses PayProp, the latest cutting-edge property management software to which landlords and tenants have been very receptive of. One of Richard’s most notable successes so far is the commercial letting of 67-77 Chatsworth Road to a national sofa company. “It just shows that our modern marketing works but you also cannot beat picking up the phone and taking to landlords and tenants alike to get the deal done,” he says.
Jodie adds: “This year is going to be an exciting year for us as we have more commercial and residential properties coming to the market.”
