Selling your home
How much does it cost to sell my home with Athertons?
Our fees are based on a percentage of the final sale price and are agreed with you upfront, usually on a no-sale-no-fee basis, so you only pay when your property sells. Our fee includes professional photography, drone footage, a full video tour and our buyer and seller app at no extra cost. We’re always happy to give you a clear, no-obligation quote.
How do I get a valuation of my property?
You can book an expert in-person valuation with one of our team, or get an instant online estimate through our website. An in-person valuation from one of our local agents who knows the area and the current market will always give you the most accurate figure.
How long will it take to sell my property?
It depends on the property, the asking price and the area, but a well-presented, sensibly-priced home in Poole or Bournemouth often generates viewings quickly. Rather than give an optimistic guess, we’ll talk you through a realistic timescale for your specific property and price.
What marketing do you include as standard?
Every property we sell benefits from professional photography, high-quality drone footage, a full video tour promoted on YouTube, and prominent listings on the major property portals, all included as standard. We also give you and your buyers access to a bespoke app so you can track viewings and sale progress easily.
About Athertons
What makes Athertons different from the larger estate agents?
We’re an independent, family-run agency, so you get a personal service with a named point of contact rather than being passed around a call centre. As one of Poole and Bournemouth’s longest-serving independent agents, we combine genuine local knowledge with the latest technology, and most of our business comes from recommendations and returning clients.
Which areas do you cover?
We cover the whole of Bournemouth, Poole and the surrounding areas from two local offices. Our Poole office on Dorchester Road in Oakdale covers Oakdale, Parkstone, Ashley Cross, Canford Heath, Broadstone, Creekmoor, Hamworthy, Upton and beyond. Our Bournemouth office on Wimborne Road in Winton covers Winton, Charminster, Moordown, Talbot Woods, Muscliff, Throop, Kinson and the rest of Bournemouth.
Letting & landlords
Do you handle lettings and property management?
Yes. Alongside our sales service, we’re established letting agents in Poole and Bournemouth, offering a full range of lettings and property management services for landlords, from finding quality tenants to managing your property day to day.
I’m a landlord. Can you manage my property for me?
Absolutely. We offer tenant-find and fully managed services, and we keep on top of the ever-changing lettings regulations so you don’t have to. Get in touch, and we’ll tailor a service to suit how hands-on or hands-off you want to be.
Viewings, opening hours & getting started
How do I arrange a viewing?

How do I get started?
Whether you’re selling, buying, letting or renting, the easiest first step is to get in touch. Call our Poole office on 01202 681113 or our Bournemouth office on 01202 512348, or request a valuation through our website, and we’ll take it from there.
