Thinking of Selling?
Our three central offices in Ilkley, Otley and Guiseley offer a relaxed and welcoming environment, combined with state-of-the-art technology designed to make house-hunting easy and stress free.
MARKETING
All our properties benefit from the most up-to-date marketing available. Our property brochures are prepared to the very highest standards, designed to present and promote your home in the very best possible light. Our full colour sales particulars are professionally printed including interior photographs and floor plans. You will receive draft particulars for your input and approval prior to marketing. Bespoke sale brochures are also available should they be required, examples and costing options can be submitted at your request.
ADVERTISING
Local newspaper advertising is included within our marketing package, unless otherwise agreed. Our striking full page property adverts in the Ilkley Gazette, the Wharfedale and Airedale Observer and the Wharfe Valley Times produce an excellent response from buyers both locally and nationally. In addition there is the option to advertise in The Yorkshire Post should it be appropriate. (There may be an additional charge for this).
SALES TRACKING
Once we have received an offer we will you give you as much information as possible to allow you to make an informed decision, including the buyers chain and situation, time scale and motivation. Each of our offices has an experienced and dedicated member of staff who will then monitor the progress of your sale on a regular basis, liaising with both yourselves and your buyer, tracking the progress with solicitors, surveyors, bank and building societies, whilst keeping you informed at every stage. This is often the most stressful and nail-biting period of any property transaction, where good estate agents really earn their fee and lesser agents step back and hope things just happen!
VIEWINGS AND SECURITY
As soon as we are given instructions to proceed with the sale of your property our sales negotiators will contact buyers from our extensive database. It is our intention to create immediate interest in your property. If you are living in the property you may wish to conduct viewings yourself. If you are unsure about this we are more than happy to conduct them on your behalf, sometimes the potential buyers prefer it! We never release keys or leave prospective buyers unattended. Your personal details are not given out unless we have your consent to do so. Once a viewing has taken place we will contact you with both positive and constructive feedback.
NATIONAL COVERAGE

As Wharfedale and Airborough’s local expert, we are the first port of call for many buyers moving into our area. In the UK, Cartus uses Network members to help buy and sell homes for these relocating families. By working together Home Sale Network can assist families buying and selling property around Britain. The Network is highly selective and membership is based on certain criteria being met such as quality of service, local knowledge and professionalism resulting in membership approved on an invitation basis only. Home Sale Network has members in England, Scotland and Wales so if you are looking to relocate why not follow Cartus’ lead and use a Home Sale Network member too?
CONTACTING BUYERS
The first couple of weeks of marketing are often the most lucrative in terms of attracting the ‘best’ and most ‘serious’ buyers. Therefore speed is essential in order to contact buyers quickly and efficiently. We are one of the few agents to use SMS Text messaging via mobile phones, as well as email, plus the more traditional methods of the good old Royal Mail and the telephone!
