Stonehouse is a Christchurch and Canterbury property agency that charges by the hour, not by the sale price. The website says it has no commission or fixed fee, and bills against an agreed capped estimate of operative hours to sell or buy a property. Its fees do not change with the sale or purchase price, and the firm says it reports to clients on time spent, process and outcome.
The firm says it has more than two decades of experience and that, across its sales over a ten-year span, the average time to an unconditional sale was under 20 operative hours. It handles the process from start to finish and gives clients access to digital media, market statistics and legal and local authority information. Its office is listed on Vesper Lane in Yaldhurst, Christchurch.
