Saints and the corporate agency model: a different way to handle your sale.

Personal accountability throughout.

The person recommending your asking price also needs to understand how buyers respond, what sits behind an offer and what could affect completion.

At Saints, that person is me.

I conduct viewings personally, assess offers and follow the sale through. What I learn from buyers informs my advice directly. Your circumstances and the reasoning behind earlier decisions stay with the same person throughout.

Limiting my instructions makes that possible. It gives me the capacity to understand the detail of your move and act on it.

Read the market behind the headline.

My research examines activity by property type and asking-price band, alongside the homes buyers could choose instead of yours.

That means looking beyond the number of adverts.

In my 8 November 2026 review of Ealing detached homes at £2m–£2.5m, 33 available adverts represented 21 individual homes. Counting each home once changed the picture of available competition.

I examine that choice alongside the proportion of homes under offer or sold subject to contract, their accommodation, condition, location and asking prices.

This research has a practical purpose: to judge where your home should be positioned, how firmly to negotiate and whether current conditions support the move you want to make.

Pricing discipline, with reasons.

An asking price needs evidence behind it. So does a recommendation to hold firm or make a change.

Where buyer activity is strong and suitable alternatives are limited, the evidence may support a firmer negotiating position. Where activity is weak and competing stock is substantial, price and timing need closer scrutiny.

A slow response prompts a review of the property’s presentation, asking price, competing homes and wider market activity. I explain what has changed and why I recommend a particular response.

If you are buying another home, I assess both markets together. The advice needs to serve the whole move.

Advice continues after agreement.

An accepted offer still needs to become a completed sale.

I check progress daily against agreed dates. If a step is overdue, I follow up with the responsible person to establish the cause and the action needed.

The advisory role continues here. A delay may affect your completion deadline, onward purchase or available options. I explain the implications, give you my recommendation and follow through on the agreed next steps.

You retain the decision. I remain responsible for my advice and the work I undertake on your behalf.

What this means for buyers.

I act for the seller. Buyers have a direct point of contact who knows the property, understands the seller’s plans and handles enquiries, viewings and offers personally.

That continuity helps both sides understand what is required and whether their circumstances and timescales can work together.
