No More Fall-Throughs: Why SecureMove Made Selling This Victorian Home Stress-Free
How SecureMove Made Selling Westfield House Smooth, Secure, and Stress-Free
Selling a home is never just about finding a buyer — it’s about making sure the deal actually completes. Across the UK, around one in three property sales fall through, leaving sellers frustrated, buyers disappointed, and months of effort wasted.
When Westfield House, a striking Victorian home on Queen Street in Retford, came to market, the owners chose to sell with Nicholson’s and our SecureMove system. The result? A smooth, transparent, and secure sale from start to finish.
A Victorian Masterpiece in the Heart of Retford
Westfield House is one of those rare homes that truly takes your breath away. At over 3,600 sq. ft, it’s full of period detail — from ornate cornicing and intricate panelling to elegant reception rooms and a landscaped walled garden designed by an RHS student. Its size, beauty, and prime location just minutes from Retford Station made it a standout listing.
But selling such a substantial home can often mean long, complicated conveyancing. SecureMove changed that.
Why SecureMove Works
With SecureMove, the property launched with a Buyer Information Pack already in place. This included:
📑 Full legal forms (TA6, TA10)
📑 Land Registry documents
📑 Complete searches (local, environmental, drainage, and more)
This meant buyers and their solicitors had the key information from the outset — cutting down on weeks of waiting and endless questions.
Once an offer was accepted, both parties signed a Reservation Agreement, giving security on both sides. That agreement meant:
✔ No gazumping or gazundering
✔ No unexpected walkaways
✔ Financial protection if either side broke the contract
The Result: A Secure and Seamless Sale
Instead of delays, doubt, and uncertainty, the Westfield House sale moved forward smoothly and efficiently. Both seller and buyer had confidence, and the risk of collapse was dramatically reduced.
For a property of this scale and value, that peace of mind was invaluable.
Why It Matters to Sellers
Every seller wants certainty. With SecureMove, you don’t just launch your home to the market — you protect the sale until completion. For sellers in Retford and beyond, it’s the smarter way to sell.
