Halden Row · Marlowe Hill · Cresswell Quay · Orbury Green
Coda Bloom is a two-person residential agency. We take on a small number of properties at a time so every listing gets accurate measurements, a realistic guide price and an agent who has actually walked the street.
Current index
Floor areas are measured on site, not taken from old particulars. Guide prices reflect what comparable homes in the same area have actually been achieving.
CB-04 · Marlowe Hill
Rear extension completed under building control in the last decade, so the kitchen and dining space run the full width. The front bedroom is genuinely a double; the third is a single or a study. Boiler is five years old, windows are original timber at the front and will want attention within a few years.

CB-11 · Orbury Green
Bought new in the early nineties and lived in by one family since. Decoration is dated and the kitchen is original, which is reflected in the guide price. Everything structural is sound and there is off-street parking for two cars plus a detached garage with power.

CB-17 · Halden Row
Small footprint but well arranged, with the bathroom upstairs rather than off the kitchen. The owner has already moved, so completion can follow the buyer's timetable. Parking is on-street with a resident permit; there is no garden, only a paved yard of about four metres.

Offer under review
CB-22 · Cresswell Quay
Lift served, with a balcony wide enough for a table. Leasehold with roughly a hundred and thirty years remaining; the service charge covers the lift, grounds and building insurance, and we will send the last two years of accounts before you view so there are no surprises.

Field notes
Written from viewings we have run rather than from a brochure. If an area is slow at the moment, we would rather say so.
Two rows of Victorian terraces either side of a walled green. Smallest homes on our books and the quickest to move, usually to first-time buyers or people downsizing from the Hill.
Interwar semis on wide streets with long rear gardens. Family buyers dominate, so the market here follows the school year closely and is busiest between March and July.
Converted warehouses and two newer blocks along the water. Apartments here suit buyers who want space without a garden, though leasehold detail matters more than in the rest of our patch.
Detached and link-detached housing from the late eighties onward, arranged in closes. The largest homes we handle, and the slowest to sell — allow longer between launch and offer here.
Selling with us
Five stages, and the same agent through all of them — there is no hand-off to a sales progressor you have never met once the board goes up.
01
An hour at the property. We measure every room, note what needs disclosing and leave without asking you to sign anything.
02
A written note within two days setting out the comparable sales behind the figure and the range we would expect offers in.
03
Photographs, floor plan and particulars, plus the paperwork buyers always ask for. Usually a week from instruction.
04
Accompanied viewings in blocks, then every offer passed on in writing with what we know about the buyer's position.
05
Weekly chain updates once solicitors are instructed, and a call rather than an email whenever something changes.
Typical time from instruction to exchange across our four areas is eight to fourteen weeks, longer on leasehold apartments where the management pack takes time to arrive.
Before you get in touch
Most delays come from paperwork that could have been sorted earlier. Here is what we will ask for, whichever side of the sale you are on.
Questions
If yours is not here, put it in the enquiry form and we will answer it in writing rather than on a call you did not ask for.
From sold prices for genuinely comparable homes in the same area over the previous six months, adjusted for floor area, condition and garden. We show you those comparables in the valuation note, so you can disagree with the reasoning rather than just the number.
It takes about an hour. We measure each room, photograph anything that will need disclosing, look at the roof line and the damp-prone corners, and ask what paperwork you already hold. You are not asked to sign an agreement on the day.
No. A good number of our valuations are for people deciding whether to move at all, or planning a year ahead. We will tell you if waiting a season is likely to serve you better.
An agent attends every viewing; we do not hand out keys or run unaccompanied appointments. Viewings are grouped into Thursday evenings and alternate Saturdays so you are not asked to clear the house at short notice on a weekday.
Verified identification, evidence of the buyer's funds or lending, a named solicitor on both sides and a clear picture of any chain. We put all of that in writing to the seller alongside the figure itself.
A single percentage of the agreed sale price, set out in the valuation note before you instruct us, payable on completion. Photography, the floor plan, the EPC and accompanied viewings are included; there is no separate withdrawal fee.
Yes, with two weeks' notice and nothing to pay. We ask for the notice only so we can tell anyone mid-viewing or mid-offer what has happened rather than leaving them waiting.
Get in touch
One form for both. Tell us roughly what you need and we will reply in writing with next steps and a couple of dates.
