Services
A brokerage, plainly
Cornerstone represents every side of a sale or a rental. We are clear about what we do and, just as importantly, about what we refer to others.
- 01
Buying
For buyers and investors
See homes, land and commercial space with someone who knows the street, not only the listing. We start from your budget and match it to what is genuinely available, then hold the line through offer and handover.
- 02
Selling and letting
For sellers and landlords
Put your property in front of the right buyers or tenants, priced on real local evidence rather than hope. We set a realistic expectation, market it plainly, and keep you informed as it moves.
- 03
Renting
For tenants and landlords
Find a place to live or trade from, matched to your budget and your timeline. We represent tenants and landlords both, and we are straight with each about what the other needs.
What we refer out
Some of the most important work around a property deal should be done by someone independent of the sale. We name it plainly rather than blur the line.
Valuations and surveys
A formal valuation is regulated, independent work. We refer it to a chartered valuer, so the number is not the same person's who is selling you the property.
Legal and conveyancing
Deeds, title checks and conveyancing are a lawyer's or notary's work. We refer them out and keep the legal check independent of the sale.
Property management
We let property; we do not manage it afterwards. Ongoing rent collection, maintenance and tenant handling we refer to a dedicated manager.
Questions
Common questions about our services
Can Cornerstone value my property?
Cornerstone gives you a view of the market — what comparable properties are actually asking and achieving — but a formal valuation is a separate, regulated piece of work. We refer that to a chartered valuer rather than doing it in-house, so the number you get is independent.
Do you handle the legal side?
No, and deliberately. Conveyancing, title checks and deeds are a lawyer's or notary's work, and Cornerstone refers them to people we trust rather than doing them ourselves. Keeping the legal check independent of the sale protects you.
Does Cornerstone handle both sales and rentals?
Yes. Cornerstone acts on both sales and rentals, and for both sides of each — buyers and sellers, landlords and tenants — across homes, land and commercial property.
Who pays the agent's fee?
Fee arrangements vary by transaction and are agreed in writing before any work begins. Cornerstone sets out who pays, when, and what is included at the outset, so there are no surprises at the close. We do not publish a fixed rate because the right arrangement depends on the deal.
