Information for Sellers
Creating the life you deserve often comes hand in hand with selling a home.
We're here to help you close one chapter and start another.


Who we are
Max left the corporate world of Estate Agency in '94 and started Sowerbys because he wanted to make sure every client received a first class service.
He was quickly joined by business partner Lloyd Sandy, and the two of them have built the company and its reputation to where it sits today.
Much has changed in the last 30 years; but that ethos remains firmly at our core.
We were founded as champions for the communities of North Norfolk, deserving of an estate agent who is deeply proud of their home and determined to do right by their neighbours.
Today we are further afield, with nine branches across Norfolk, still delivering what the community deserves.
Selling a home need to know
What will it cost?
Just as your home is unique, each sale has its own set of individual circumstances. Some costs to consider when it comes to selling include, removals fees, storage fees, solicitor fees and estate agent fees. We're happy to recommend a number of local businesses we trust who can help with these things.
At Sowerbys, we offer a no sale, no fee agreement which means that we undertake all marketing without it costing you a penny until we have succeeded in achieving a sale that you are happy with. When contracts have been signed, we will charge a pre-agreed percentage of the sale price of your property plus VAT, not payable until after completion.
How will you sell my home?
Our dedicated in-house marketing team will deliver a multimedia approach to advertising your property. From the high-quality feel of our bespoke brochures, to professionally presented films which will give your favourite TV property show a run for its money; from press coverage to social media content - enough for your family and friends can like, share and comment on.
From concept to creation, our marketeers work with closely with our property specialists, photography and videography crew - and you! We want to capture exactly what makes your home unique, because we understand that every home has a story to tell.
I want to sell but I want to keep it quiet?
How do I get my home ready to sell?
Get yourself and your home in the best possible condition for sale! This means a good old fashioned tidy up of your paperwork and property. Talking to your mortgage adviser and/or solicitor can speed up processes further down the line; when it comes to the home, ensure it's photo and film ready! That might mean a spring clean, a lick of paint or simply mowing the lawn.
