Everything You Need to Know About Sales & Lettings Proposals

What Is a Sales or Lettings Proposal?

A sales or lettings proposal is a detailed document or interactive presentation that an agent creates for you after an initial consultation with them. Think of it as their way of showing you their plan of action to promote your property. Its purpose is to give you a clear understanding of the current property or rental market, a suggested pricing strategy, and a detailed overview of how they intend to professionally market and manage your property to secure a successful sale or tenancy.

A good quality proposal goes beyond just the price at which they will market your property. It is a strategic tool that demonstrates an agent’s knowledge, expertise and commitment. It should include a thorough market analysis, captivating property descriptions, and a clear breakdown of their marketing approach. Ultimately, it will help you to compare property agencies to make a confident, well-informed decision about who to trust with your most valuable asset.

What is Included in a Lettings Proposal?

A well-structured lettings proposal provides a clear and professional roadmap of how an agent intends to find and manage your tenants. It should always include a suggested rental price, backed by up-to-date market data and comparable properties in your area.

Furthermore, a comprehensive proposal will detail the agent’s marketing strategy, from professional photography and video tours to major property portals and social media listings. It will outline the full scope of services, such as tenant vetting, rent collection, and property management.

A professional proposal also clarifies legal requirements, like compliance checks and deposit protection schemes, giving you confidence that your property is safe and compliant.

What is Included in a Sales Proposal?

For those looking to sell their property, a sales proposal is your agent’s blueprint for success. It is an essential document that outlines their strategy for achieving the best possible outcome for your property sale. A professional proposal should provide a realistic and data-driven suggested sale price, supported by a detailed analysis of comparable properties recently sold in your area.

Beyond the numbers, the proposal will lay out a detailed marketing plan, explaining exactly how your property will be promoted—from professional photography and videography to listings on major portals like Rightmove and Zoopla.

It will also clarify the expected timeline and a transparent fee structure. This detailed overview gives you the confidence to assess an agent’s expertise and will deliver the results you want.

What to Look For in a Good Proposal

So, what separates an average proposal from an exceptional one? The key is looking for a document that is not just a collection of services, but a tailored strategy built around your specific goals.

A good proposal should offer clear pricing advice firmly backed by evidence, such as comparable sales or rental data. It should also outline a marketing plan that aligns with your timeline, whether you need a fast sale or maximum rental income.

Crucially, it must detail the services offered—from high-quality photography and management to tenant vetting—in a way that meets your individual needs. An excellent proposal will be both a professional sales pitch and a transparent guide that reassures you that an agent understands you and your property.
