Not every successful sale begins with a fresh instruction — sometimes it starts with a seller feeling frustrated after months on the market without results.
That was the case with this attractive family home on Nutley Crescent, Goring-by-Sea, which came to us after being marketed by another agent without securing a successful sale.
Located in one of our core operating areas, this was exactly the kind of property where local knowledge, pricing strategy and buyer matching can make a real difference. Situated less than half a mile from the beach and within easy reach of Goring Road's shops, schools and transport links, the property offered many of the features buyers actively search for in the BN12 area.
The house itself was beautifully presented and had broad appeal. Its spacious double-aspect living/dining room created a bright and sociable heart to the home, with sliding doors opening onto a west-facing garden ideal for entertaining and family life. The generous front and rear gardens, garage and driveway parking added further practical appeal — features that remain highly desirable for family buyers in Goring-by-Sea.
Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms provided excellent flexibility, whether for growing families, home working or those wanting additional guest space. The property also benefited from air conditioning and a well-maintained interior, allowing buyers to move straight in with minimal work required.
When the property was re-launched with Matthew Anthony, our focus was on repositioning it properly in the market. That meant reviewing the pricing strategy, refining the presentation and targeting the right buyer demographic rather than simply relisting it unchanged.
That approach paid off.
We successfully secured a buyer and guided the sale through to completion at £428,000, delivering the result the sellers had previously been unable to achieve.
This sale is a strong reminder that when a property hasn't sold, the issue is not always the property itself. Often, success comes down to strategy, exposure and working with an agent who truly understands the local market.
At Matthew Anthony, we regularly help sellers in Goring-by-Sea, Ferring, Worthing and the surrounding areas who have previously been on the market without success — often achieving the result they were hoping for with the right approach.
