Agents (NAEA) and the Residential Estate Agency Training and Educa­ tion Association (REATEA) have teamed up to launch a set of guidelines for agents keen to improve their cus­


tomer service. The guide has been produced as the


result of a ground-breaking, Govern­ ment-funded research programme by the NAEA and REATEA into cus­ tomer's attitudes towards estate


agents.


THE best have definitely been saved until last on Longdon Northwest's prestigious Waterside Park develop­ ment in Barnoldswick, where stun­ ning views are just part of the attrac­ tive package available to the buyers of the final two homes for sale. Just £112,450 will secure a stylish new four bedroom detached home


with a rear garden bordered by the picturesque Leeds and Liverpool Canal and with magnificent open


views of Pen-y-ghcnt peak. Sales manager Lesley Hampson is


delighted with the success of Water­ side Park and says, "Waterside Park is a superb location because it com­ bined a quality rural environment with the advantage of speedy access to the larger centre of Skipton, just seven miles away and within commut­ ing distance of Burnley, Bradford and Manchester. These last two properties

Hugo Dunsmoro-Hardy, chief exec­


utive of the NAEA and chairman of REATEA, said: "Estate agents some­ times suffer a certain notoriety and are the but of many unfair comments and jokes. Yet, as a profession we success­ fully negotiate the bulk of 1.4m trans­ actions reported each year. "Our aim for the future is to move


towards exceeding customers expecta­ tions and this practical guide has been produced to help estate agents who are keen to improve their customer care." The new toolkit provides 24 bench­


marks of customer service against which service can be scored on a regu­ lar basis. Among the performance cat­ egories are: the handling of appoint­ ments, preparing instructions and complaint procedures. Richard Foxwell, director of opera­


tions at REATEA, said: "The toolkit provides a set of easily identifiable cri­ teria for evaluating performance across all aspects of customer service. "We are confident that this new ini­


tiative will play a key role in helping improve the standing of the profession in the perception of the house-buying


and selling public." The complete research report "Win­


ning and Keeping Customers - The Research Background" is priced at £49.50 for NAEA and REATEA members and £59.50 for non-mem­


bers. The Benchmarking Toolkit costs


£39 plus VAT for NAEA and RBATEA members and £49 plus VAT for others. Both publications are avail­ able from REATEA on 01392 423399.

represent o.xcellent value for money and I do not anticipate them being available for very much longer." The two Lonsdale designs on offer


include the former view home, priced at £114,950, which is ready for imme­ diate occupation and benefits from the addition of fitted carpets through­ out. Both properties feature double glazing, gas central heating, a superb fitted kitchen with built-in over, hob and hood, a tiled bathroom and an en suite shower room to the master bed­


room. Buyers with an existing house to


sell can speed the way to ownership of a new home on Waterside Park by taking advantage of Longden North­ west's popular Fleximover scheme. - Under fleximover an independent


valuation of the customer's property is carried out, a guaranteed selling price is agreed and the property is


actively marketed by a leading estate


agent. Fleximover is probably the best


assisted moving scheme around, with around 90% of buyers' homes being sold within 14 days of Longden Northwest placing the property on


the market. Inquiries for Waterside Park should


be directed to Longden Northwests Jacky Wood development in Burnley,


tel: 777463. Longden Northwest is a division of


George Londgen Ltd, a subsidiary of York-based Shepherd Homes Ltd, which is itself part of one of the largest privately owned companies in the European building sector with over 100 years' experience in produc­ ing skilfully designed, soundly con­ structed homes to suit a multitude of


lifestyles. & « V . ' . wsa IE®. . mi m M m
