Local Property Match
A Smarter Way to Move House – Introducing Local Property Match by Phil Hall Estate Agents
At Phil Hall Estate Agents, we're always looking for innovative ways to make the moving process smoother, faster, and more efficient for our clients. That’s why we’re proud to introduce a brand new local property matching service – designed especially for those looking to upsize or downsize within the same area.
We understand that many of our clients aren't just buying or selling — they're doing both. And often, the challenge isn’t just finding a buyer or a property — it’s finding the right fit at the right time. That’s where our new approach changes everything.
How It Works
Through our new system, we now list not only the properties we’re marketing, but also the types of properties our sellers are actively searching for. Whether they’re moving to a larger family home or downsizing to something more manageable, their preferences are now visible and searchable.
If you’re a homeowner looking to move locally and you spot a match — say, you love the look of a seller’s home and they’re looking for something like yours — we can help facilitate what we call a "House Swap."
Here’s how it benefits everyone involved:
Chain Reduction: With a mutual match, we can significantly reduce or even eliminate parts of the property chain — one of the most common causes of delay or collapse in a transaction.
Faster Transactions: With fewer links in the chain, deals can move forward more quickly and smoothly.
More Certainty: House swaps create stronger, more committed buyer-seller relationships. Both parties are motivated and invested in the move.
Flexibility on Value Differences: If one property is worth more than the other, we simply negotiate the difference in value — just like any other sale — to ensure fairness on both sides.
This approach is especially powerful for families looking to upsize, retirees looking to downsize, or anyone simply wanting a fresh start without the usual stress and uncertainty of the open market.
Why We're Doing This
At Phil Hall Estate Agents, we're rooted in the local community and passionate about helping people move within it. Our new property matching system is part of our commitment to personalised service, local expertise, and forward-thinking solutions.
We believe moving house doesn’t have to be complicated — and with our help, it won’t be.
