If you’re selling,I’m smiling.
If you’re buying,I’m brokering.

A little about me
I’m Hal Plummer, an Essex-based estate agent and mortgage and protection adviser. I help people sell, buy and remortgage, including buy-to-let and limited company mortgages, with one point of contact throughout.
I manage sales from market appraisal to completion, arrange mortgages for first-time buyers, movers and landlords, including more complex cases, and give protection advice.
How I can help
Listing your home
Market appraisal
I look at recent sales, current competition and your property’s features to recommend an asking price. I’ll explain how I’ve arrived at the figure and give you an honest view of the market.
Preparing your listing
I’ll arrange the marketing, including photographs and a clear, engaging description of your property. I’ll also make sure the key details are covered, from tenure and council tax to parking and what’s included.
Viewings
I manage viewings, keep track of buyer interest and provide feedback afterwards. You’ll know who viewed, what they thought and whether they’re likely to come back for a second viewing.
Offers and the sale
When an offer comes in, I’ll explain the price, the buyer’s position and the chain involved. I’ll negotiate on your behalf and manage the sale through to exchange and completion.
Mortgage advice
Buying your first home
I’ll help you understand your deposit, borrowing options and monthly repayments, then find suitable mortgage deals. I’ll explain each step clearly so you know what to expect before you apply.
Moving home
If you’re selling and buying, I’ll help coordinate your mortgage with your move. We’ll look at your borrowing needs, available deals and any existing mortgage, keeping your plans aligned throughout.
Remortgaging
Coming to the end of your current deal? I’ll compare your options, whether that’s switching lenders or reviewing a new deal with your existing lender. We’ll consider the rates, fees and overall cost to find a suitable option.
Buy-to-let mortgages
Whether you’re buying your first rental property or remortgaging an existing investment, I’ll explore suitable buy-to-let options. I advise landlords borrowing personally or through limited companies, taking rental income, deposits and costs into account.
