David Phillip said “there certainly appears to be a pent-up demand for people looking to buy and sell properties since Covid-19.
The pandemic has made people re-think their must-have’s in their choice of home, and we have seen many more requests for properties with gardens and offices. We are lucky to operate in a beautiful part of the Country and the properties we tend to market fit the current demand. We are also positioned to offer the latest virtual viewings and valuations which is key to the new ways of working”

At David Phillip Estate Agents, we use site maps as well as floor plans, have a professional photographer and use area videos too – we also have 3d virtual tours on our properties!– people can view properties from the safety and comfort of an armchair.

Reviews not only have the power to gain trust, and encourage people to interact with the company but they are also the ideal vehicle for building a relationship between the provider and the consumer, they encourage people to interact with the company, influence customer decisions and strengthen the company’s credibility.
Studies show though that a customer is more likely to leave a review after a negative experience, this could have an extremely detrimental effect on a business, but also should be used as an opportunity to review the Customer Experience and make improvements to service levels.
At David Phillip Estate Agents Customer reviews are particularly important to us. David Phillip has been selling properties in North and West Yorkshire for over 30 years’, however our company which launched at the end of last year is new to the area, has lots to prove, has competitors located in the area as well as online Agents. It is therefore, particularly important that we work harder than anyone to provide our clients with the best Customer Experience possible, both in terms of the pre-sales experience (the marketing and promotion of the property up to accepting an offer ) , but also the aftersales element through to completion.
We encourage all our clients to leave reviews through All Agents and Google, and are pleased that so far we have received some excellent 5 star reviews, with comments such as

The report states that the happiness of the people in Leeds is mainly down to the fact that a big emphasis is placed on our wellbeing – it is not just older people who are happy though, as student satisfaction in Leeds ranks higher than any of the other cities analysed in the study by Safestore.
Part of the survey also measured volunteering opportunities, quality of life, number of parks and outstanding Ofsted rated schools.
When we looked to open our office in North Leeds at the end of last year we wanted an area that reflected all the qualities mentioned in this survey and Bramhope was the perfect location – with an outstanding Primary school, surrounded by beautiful countryside, close to Leeds city centre as well as Leeds Bradford airport and with a great community feel and Bramhope in Bloom making the village look beautiful, it is no wonder people are so keen to live here.
Take a look at how lovely Bramhope is on our local area videos which we use to sell our properties – it is not just about static photos and literature, videos bring an area to life, and when you view this one we can understand why.
If you are looking to sell your home, and want the area promoting as well as your property then please give us a call on 01134 676 400 w: davidphillip.co.uk e: info@davidphillip a: 86.Leeds Road, Bramhope.
In some cases, instead of having the worry and uncertainty of losing the property you want, rather than securing via a traditional mortgage it may be feasible to consider some form of short-term finance, if your financial situation enables you to facilitate this.
Currently, a popular route is to use some form of Bridging finance, which is typically taken out over a shorter period of time, this can provide you with a fast financial solution that allows you to act quickly and purchase your next home without having to wait for funds. Whilst in some cases the cost may prove prohibitive it’s certainly worth exploring to see if this can be a realistic alternative.
At David Phillip Estate Agents, we work with MAB Bingley who have access to various ways of enabling you to prevent ‘breaking the chain’ and securing your dream property
If you would like any more information please contact our preferred Mortgage Provider, Jennie Newby at MAB Bingley, who can talk you through the process and answer any questions you may have.

Dressing rooms have many options for design potential, and before changing a room, think carefully about your storage needs and preferences. Some people like to store clothes behind closed doors with clothing kept out of sight whilst others prefer the more open –door concept, but there are other design options to think about such as a multi-purpose centre island, as well as a surface to fold and iron clothes, shelving, extra furniture such as a sit down vanity area or dressing table.
When you are thinking about your space, how much rail v drawer space will you require, factor in shoe storage, handbags, swimwear and accessories, as these smaller items are often the most challenging to store – don’t forget make-up and jewellery storage too.
When it comes to choosing your dressing room furniture, be mindful that drawers cost more than shelves, but choose an affordable carcase, and dress it up with investment doors, handles and soft -close hinges. Mirrored doors can make a room feel much bigger. When you are thinking about hanging space, don’t forget space for long gowns too.
Think about your colour scheme and then pick out a few items of clothes or accessories to match, particularly if you are going for open shelves and hanging spaces
Picking the perfect dressing table is really important, ensure it matches the rest of the room, but then go to town on the accessories that suit your personality – having the dressing table in an area with natural light is important, and if you don’t have natural light then add some spot lighting and plenty of plug sockets.
So, if you have a guest room in the house, this is a nice room to have, but how often does it get used – putting this room to a better use as a purpose driven space is a much better idea if you don’t entertain many guests overnight.
If a fitted walk in dressing room is done well, it is a selling point for your home as well as adding value, but if you don’ have so much space, then use an alcove or use a room divider to create a dressing area.
If you are looking for a property that already has a purpose built dressing area, take a look at Parc Mont, Park Avenue, Roundhay, Leeds or The Old Barn, Eccup Lane, Adel that has 3 beautiful dressing areas.

Nearly one in 10 house hunters are willing to pay a premium for a property located on a street with such a prefix, this suggests that it is not only the reputation of the village or the town that can add value to a property
In a survey, of one thousand house-buyers across the UK, 14% said they consider paying more for a property that featured the prefix Royal in the street name, with King 7% and Queen 6% as the second and third prefixes with the potential to demand a higher asking price.
According to 37% of the people asked, king, Queen, Crown and Palace all appear in the top street names that home-owners believe add gravitas to a property.
Helen Whitely, Commercial Director at On the Market.com said “there is no question that location is one of the most important elements when buying or renting a new home, but it is interesting that a prestigious sounding street name can help to influence a buyer or renter’s idea of price and worth”
We are very lucky in Bramhope to have Kings Drive on the edge of the lovely village, @davidphillipestateagents we have already sold one property in this sought after area and have a further property to sell. Number 14, Kings Drive is now on the market, with 3 bedrooms, a private garden and is an opportunity for someone to modernise.
The property is very realistically priced at £350k for a quick sale.
An early viewing is strongly recommended t: 01134 676 400 w: davidphillip.co.uk 86, Leeds Road, Bramhope.

When you are buying something, the £99.99 keeps the price under that psychological £100, however, if your agent is advising you to do the same when marketing your home, then you are missing out on potential buyers and being badly advised.
Go onto Rightmove, do a search for properties in North Leeds - if your property is valued at £499,950 for example then it will be invisible to prospective buyers looking for somewhere £500k or more, this is really crucial and potentially a large audience that you could be missing.
If your property is listed at a figure ending in 000 for example£500k then you will be seen by people looking for a property at £500k plus, but also those looking potentially from £450k to £500k, in other words potentially as much as twice the audience.
So if you are having a market appraisal completed and your agent quotes a figure ending in 950, please question the motive, as missing out on potential buyers is not a good way to market your home!

Here are the things you may need to consider
So, once you have considered all these things and you think you have located the perfect potential community in which you know you will feel happy and contented, make contact with a local Estate Agent. Some really local agents such as David Phillip Estate Agents, may have invested in videos of the area in which they operate – local videos showcase a property in a whole new way. Rather than just reading maps and literature, you can look at the landscape surrounding the area, the businesses operating there, the recreational areas, the infrastructure plus it also portrays a feeling of excitement that still pictures can’t always portray.
And, if you are selling a home, Estate Agents tend to focus on photos of a property and floorplans, generally static marketing, but what if you could send a potential buyer a video of where they could be living and the community in which they will become involved, this will create a feeling of excitement, make the property viewing much more real. – in other words, it’s not just the property you are marketing but the area too! – although David Phillip Estate Agents do have 3d virtual tours too of properties – the total immersive experience in North Leeds.
At David Phillip Estate Agents we are delighted to be working with David Varley at Home onFilm who has created amazing videos for all the areas we cover in North Leeds, from lovely areas such as Alwoodley and Adel, to beautiful villages such as Bramhope and Harewood .
“We think that the quality of the films we are providing to our clients, really enriches the customer experience and sales outcome when buying and selling a home”, said Lesa –! it’s not just about the property but the community and lifestyle too!“

Buying and selling a home can be a stressful process, so it's important you are aware of the pitfalls that can cause a sale (or rental) to fall though. If you address these early in the process your chances of the deal going through is much greater.
According to the NAEA (National Association of Estate Agents) Propertymark, these are the factors that most commonly cause issues:
1. Nuisance neighbours. If you've had an issue with a neighbour eg over boundaries, shared access or anti-social noise you're better off being honest early in the process rather than risk it affecting things later down the line.
2. Structural problems. If you know of any structural problems with your property, you should fix them straightaway. Or, as a minimum, get a contractor to provide an estimate for the work, so this can be included as part of the negotiation.
3. Japanese knotweed. This invasive plant has deep roots that can damage the foundations of properties. If you think you have any, call a professional to get rid of it. Not only can it significantly devalue your property, it puts it at risk of subsidence and could affect the ability to get a mortgage on the property.
4. Rail timetable changes. If you're within a commuter belt. Changes to timetables can affect the saleability (or rental) of your property.
5. Planning permission. Have you had any work carried out on your property whilst you've been living there? Such as extensions or conversions? If you have, make sure you have all the documents you need to prove they have been completed in accordance with local planning regulations.
6. Remaining lease length. If your property has a short lease time remaining, you should provide this information as early as possible.
7. Flight paths. Noise form airports is cited as one of the common reasons why a purchase fails to go through. Be honest with prospective purchasers (or tenants) about how much you can hear and at what time of day you're disrupted.
8. Parking disputes. If you have a dispute with a neighbour over street parking or shared driveways, try to resolve them with your neighbour first. If necessary, check the deeds of your property to see where boundaries lie.
9. School catchment areas. This is one of the most important factors for parents of school age children. Make sure you are up-to-date with the local schools, so you can advise if your property falls within the catchment areas.
10. Damp. Not only can damp cause damage to a property it can also be a health risk. Most cases of damp are simple and inexpensive to fix. If you're concerned get a specialist company in who can advise what works need carrying out and the potential costs. You may need to factor this into the sale price of your home.
