You could also put letters through the letter boxes of houses with a
"Sold" sign outside, detailing your services and maybe offering a "new
homeowner" discount.

I don't want to be the one casting al the downers here, but

I have the distinct feeling that it would most likely be treated as junk
mail by the new occupants along with all the other crap shoved through
the letterbox

I think it'd depend on what the junk mail was like. A nicely presented
letter and maybe a free fridge magnet would most likely be kept, a
tatty looking flyer would most likely go in the bin.

Another thought: How about producing a calendar or map of the local
area with "medwayhandyman" along the top? If it included local
information it would probably be kept by the new homeowner instead of
being binned.

Perhaps even a "medwayhandyman" booklet containing useful phone
numbers? Anything that the homeowner is likely to keep.
