A slide show of each property for sale or to let can also be seen on the website - another feature proving very popular with clients. In addition , there are photos, which can be printed along with the floor plan for reference purposes.   The Website has been designed for ease of use ands is very straightforward. For example, in depth details of houses are not on view immediately - Walton and Hipkiss believing that a purchaser will first of all be attracted to the outside photo of a property followed by internal photos.

This theory is based on the fact if you were to throw a magazine on the floor, the first thing you would look at is a photo - if it catches your eye you read about it.   This system also means that you are not bombarded by a masses of wording in the first instance.

Website technology enables Walton and Hipkiss to advertise property on a greater scale than before.   Clients are choosing Walton and Hipkiss because of the new technology which includes 360 degree tours with interaction, detailed floor plans ans extensive photos available for properties For Sale or To Let.

Walton and Hipkiss is more than just an estate agents now.  The rental market is proving to be much in demand, as well as land research for small or large developments proving very successful in more than one county.
