Strutt & Parker is holding a National Open House Day on Saturday, October 11, so don’t miss out if you want to sell your property this autumn

The concept of an open house day is not new, and the agency has always held these for individual properties and new developments. However, to dedicate a day when nearly all the properties on its books are open for viewing is something that Strutt & Parker only began doing in the midst of the 2009 financial crisis and since then, it has proven to be incredibly successful in raising consumer confidence.

Since 2009, Strutt & Parker has held a number of open house days in different parts of the country and, spurred on by the success of these events, it now holds two regular events every year during the spring and autumn markets.

Last October, National Open House Day generated more than 2,500 viewings and more than £160 million worth of offers.

Once again this year, there will be hundreds of properties available for viewing and the whole event is being widely promoted.

Why should you join in?

• Strutt & Parker’s National Open House Day is being advertised nationally (including Country Life , Daily Telegraph, Country & Town House) as well as in the local press, so your property will receive additional promotion.

• Strutt & Parker will feature all homes on its dedicated National Open House Day search on its website, which attracts more than 70,000 visitors weekly. Its social media sites Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest also attract much interest.

• You will have access to approx. 26,000 potential buyers Strutt & Parker's database.

• Strutt & Parker has found that buyers will look at properties that they previously may have not considered once those properties are open for the day.

• You avoid the need to prepare your house for multiple viewings. Instead the effort can be concentrated for a single day.

• There is no additional cost to you as a vendor.

• It is not guaranteed that you will sell your property, but it has proved an effective initiative with excellent results achieved.
