BlueDoor Sales is doing business everywhere

Did you know that we are now selling houses too? We are rocking the boat with our fixed fees and hearing the same old rumbles form other agents as we did when we started letting properties.

They are telling people that our fee must be an up front fee. It isn't!

They say that we are an online agent and won't do viewings. We are online and we do viewings at any time you like!

They say that it's too far to travel from Abingdon to Bicester. Have they not heard of the car?!

They say that we don't have an office in Bicester. We do have a serviced office in Bicester!

The reason why we are offering Fixed Fee Sales is the same reason why we do Fixed Fee Lettings: we run the business without expensive offices or expensive cars or expensive suits that landlords and vendors have to pay for.

We do what we do so that you can spend less and save more. There is no catch and there is no trick. We just like to work this way!

Bicester Agents get Blue Door'd but we come in peace

Oh yes. What agents in Abingdon and Oxford have long known and feared will now be visited on Bicester agents.

They will do market appraisals and hear potential landlords say "We've had Blue Door round, can you tell me exactly what you do differently for 12%+VAT of my monthly rent? They will probably mutter something like "We pay a man to put up an unsightly board which advertises our company at your expense" or "We will put one tiny picture of your property among 20 others on a page of a newspaper"

They will struggle to come up with anything else really because that is all they do that we don't do. the list of what we do that they don't do is a bit longer.

They need to take heed. They will need to up their web advertising from one paltry photo to at least 10 or so. They will also need to answer emails late at night, take phone calls on a Sunday, do viewings and MAs at times to suit the customer not the office tea and biscuit schedule and they will need to charge a more realistic fee for their work.

Flat fees are the way forward. No renewal fees are also more honest. We're unusual: they are all the same.

They don't yet know how many properties we have in Bicester because they won't see any boards, we don't always get time to put properties on our website either as they are snapped up too fast. We remain a mystery to the competition and that's how we like it. We expect more 'phishy' emails enquiring about our fees from dodgy Hotmail addresses as our name spreads on the lips of those who love us for what we are.

Here's a little bit of maths for you to try out.

What is 12% of £750?

Use the % button on your calculator if you like or do this: Multiply 725 by 0.12 (12 hundredths, which is what 12% is) then press equals. You get 90.00.
Make it into money £90.00 then add VAT if you are sitting down.

YIKES YIKES YIKES!

Now compare Blue Door's fees

Rent PCM	Blue Door Management Fee	Percentage of Rent
£695.00	£65.00	9%
£750.00	£65.00	8.7%
£850.00	£65.00	7.6%
£950.00	£65.00	6.8%
£1200.00	£65.00	5.4%

Even when you add VAT our fees are a reasonable £76.38

If you do the maths and find that you are paying too much for the management of your rental property give us a ring. If you don't have a rental property and this means nothing to you - tell someone else! If we get their business, you get £50. Simple.

Bluedoor in Bicester?

Why not?

Bluedoor is set to open in Bicester in the next month or two so if you have a propety in the north of Oxfordshire and thought that it would be too much trouble even for an agent such as ourselves to drive all the way out to you then do get in touch with us now.

Our Bicester agents will be as unusual as the Abingdon lot. Evening viewings, Sunday meetings with new landlords, answering the phone whilst eating our breakfast (sorry we do slurp our milk sometimes!) We are here when you want us and hope you like us that way.
