Thinking of moving to Duston?

Duston is a civil parish located approximately 2 miles west of Northampton town centre. The area combines a traditional village atmosphere, especially along Main Road, with newer developments such as St. Giles, Park, Alsace Park, and St Crispin, which is noted for its conversion from the historic St Crispin’s Hospital to a residential neighbourhood.

There is a good range of local amenities within Duston which include a grocery store, a bakery, a newsagent, public houses, and various artisan shops and services. It is a pleasant and very practical place for everyday living, with most needs catered for within the community.

The area is also well served in terms of schooling with several primary schools and The Duston School, providing education from primary to secondary levels. Within the new St Crispin development there is a well-regarded primary school and nursery. Additionally, for those considering independent education, Quinton House School is an option in the nearby area.

Transport links are good for commuters, with easy access to the M1 and a bus service to Northampton, where there is a train station with connections to Birmingham and London.

For outdoor activities, there are a good variety of nearby local walks and parks, and the proximity of Sixfields Leisure retail park adds a variety of entertainment options with shopping, restaurants, cinema, and of course Northampton Town Football Club – ‘The Cobblers’.

Photography

Creating the best first impression of your home is essential in order to achieve a quick sale.  Our professional photography is captured using the highest quality professional grade cameras, lenses and flashes.  We do not use fish-eye lenses to give a false impression; however, we will spend time preparing and improving the RAW image data in professional software to ensure that your home is presented in its best light with images that will induce a ‘show-home’ appeal.

Floor Plans

Our in-house surveyors are experienced CAD operatives and we draft all our own floor plans.  This enables us to ensure a higher degree of accuracy than the typical estate agent floor plan.  We also provide a level of detail that enables potential purchasers to understand the space and amenities within your home.  We obtain our measurements for the floor plans using the latest laser scanners which helps to ensure quick, safe, and accurate collection of data.

What Is the Comparable Method of Valuation?

The comparable method of valuation relies on the principle of substitution: buyers typically will not pay more for a property than they would for a similar one in the same market. We analyse data from recent sales of comparable properties to determine a realistic market value for your home.

This method works particularly well for residential properties, where we can access a wealth of data on similar homes in your area.
