Testimonials

• Location: Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, ST1
• A block of 5 Self-Contained Apartments
• Fully-Let Residential Investment Sold via Auction

“From the very first phone call with Joe I felt I was in safe hands. Not only was he professional and provided me with lots of market research to ascertain the value of my property, but he also cared about my actual property and me as a vendor. As a portfolio landlord who is looking to downsize, it can be difficult to let go of places that have been owned for decades, but Joe was empathetic and not pushy. My property was a more niche building, which I always knew would only appeal to a certain number of professional investors. Joe worked hard to liaise with his contacts prior to it going under the hammer. Unfortunately, the timing was off when we listed, and world events shook the market. Interest in my property quickly waned. However, Joe never lost interest in securing me a sale. Despite not selling at auction, he managed to sell the building under auction conditions afterwards. I’d love to say it was plain sailing after exchange, but we did hit some rather obscure obstacles, and Joe was incredibly supportive and always on hand to advise and assist. The sale did successfully complete and I am grateful to Joe for keeping the entire deal on track. The sale may have been more stressful than what either of us had imagined from the start, but Joe was unwavering in making it happen. Having worked in property for over 20 years and bought and sold at auction on multiple occasions I can, hand on heart say, Joe is the best auction agent I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with.   Thank you Joe for everything”

“I asked for opinions from a number of local commercial property agents on the sale of this property, and I have to say, from the very first point of contact with the Land & Development Team at BJB, it was very clear that they knew what they were doing. The advice which Paul & Alex gave me in terms how best to approach the sale was very thorough and very professional.  We received 10 offers and the sale progressed as planned and in line with expectations.”

“Every aspect of selling with BJB has been a smooth interaction, BJB Stafford took on the sale of our house, and BJB Land & Development the sale of a small parcel of land. From the first phone call when Joe talked through potential options, to our initial meeting where we met Alex & Joe face to face and put a plan of action into place to achieve the best result possible. They kept us regularly updated & provided quality advice on the best way forward. We achieved a successful pre-auction sale on the land, this sale has just completed, and I couldn’t recommend them enough. Here is to the successful completion of our house sale soon to follow !!!”

‘Well Done the Team at BJB. We had the property on the market with another agent for a period of time but were unable to achieve a sale. Subsequently we approached BJB Land & Development for their advice.

"Hi Paul, now that the dust has settled, I thought I drop you a line to express my sincere thanks for your assistance in selling my house and land. When you first came to see me I recall you telling that there would a problem – you didn’t not know what the problem would be, but you knew that something would crop up as it always does - and you were right !!   Anyway I am so pleased that were able to step in and make it all happen, you acted so professionally at all times and knew exactly how to deal with things. Without your help I am sure it would have been 10 times more stressful ! Thanks again, Jan"

Morning Paul, Alex & Joe well what can I say !! You guys smashed it out of the park on this one, with an absolutely stonking result in last night’s Auction which makes me well-happy. Despite me being distracted with overseas business,  you persevered and took control of the situation. Your team conducted all the viewings and ultimately found me a suitable buyer, and as a thank you, I’d like to take you and your whole team out for beers and a curry. Let me know when suits.

‘I purchased the subject land via the BJB Auction in 2021 with the intention of submitting a planning application.  However my circumstances changed and I contacted Alex at BJB Land & Development who advised on the best strategy to achieve a sale. Alex’s proposal included obtaining a drawing and selling via Auction, which worked a treat as the land sold within 6 weeks of instruction. In summary, I am both happy with the result and the service provided by Alex & the team. I would recommend BJB Land & Development moving forward.’

‘I would like to say thank you Alex and Joe for selling my land which had been sat on the market with another agent for a long time with little interest. You managed to gather a significant amount of interest in a very short time, resulting a pre- Auction sale, at a price significantly higher than the guide. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome.’

• Location: Silverdale, ST5
• Garden Land
• Potential for a Single Dwelling

"We initially consulted with Alex from BJB Land & Development with regards to a parcel of surplus garden land. BJB put into place a marketing strategy which looked to maximise the sales value through a supplementary planning appraisal report and drawings. Alex guided us through the entire process and worked with us through an initial unexpected setback which was outside of our control and that of Butters John Bee. His tenacity, professionalism and expert knowledge in land sales undoubtedly led to our recent completion of a sale at a price we were pleased with. Butters John Bee were a pleasure to have worked with."

• Location: Alsager, ST7
• Structurally damaged bungalow
• Site for a replacement dwelling

"We instructed BJB Land & Development on the sale of a structurally compromised bungalow with an expired planning consent for re-development. BJB took into consideration our current circumstances and put together a marketing plan to reflect this. We ended up agreeing a sale in excess of the guide price prior to auction, with a swift completion taking place just 4 weeks later. We would recommend the services of BJB Land & Development to anybody looking to dispose of their development opportunity."
