Sell for what your street is worth.

Option Estates is a Derby estate agent. We price your home on what has actually sold near you, market it properly, and stay on the sale until you get the keys to your next one.

  • Professional photos, a floor plan and a 360 tour on every home we sell.
  • One person from valuation to completion. No call centre.
  • A 0.7% selling fee, with mortgage advice under the same roof at Option Finance.

How we sell your home

Most sales fall over after the offer, not before it. We put as much work into the weeks after an offer as the weeks before.

  1. A price you can defend

    We show you what has sold on and around your street in the last year, not what is sitting unsold.

  2. Photos, floor plan and 360 tour

    Shot by us on our own kit, so buyers have walked round before they book a viewing.

  3. Rightmove, Zoopla and social media

    Your home goes on the portals and in front of local buyers on Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.

  4. Viewings and offers

    We host the viewings, check each buyer can afford it, and negotiate for you.

  5. Through to completion

    We chase solicitors, surveys and mortgage offers every week until you complete.

Selling and buying? Sort the mortgage at the same time.

Our sister company Option Finance is a whole of market mortgage broker, working from the same Friar Gate office. Sellers can have an agreement in principle before they go to market, and landlords can have their buy to let deal reviewed when we take over management.

How the mortgage side works

Why it matters

A buyer with their mortgage agreed is easier to sell to, and a seller who knows what they can borrow can agree a sale with confidence.

Option Estates and Option Finance are owned by the same person. If you choose to use Option Finance, we will tell you in writing about any fee or benefit either company receives before you go ahead.
