How Our Buying Agents Help You

      View our property finder services

      When making one of the most important financial decisions of your life, it pays to have the right property finders and advisors at your side.

      Property Finder Service

      Finding Properties that fit your brief is what we’re good at. We search high and low, on the market and off the market, and we keep hunting until we’ve found the right property for you. Next, we negotiate the best price and terms on your behalf. And then we make sure you enjoy a hassle-free move.

      Downsizing or Resizing

      Retirement or semi-retirement is an exciting stage in life. Finding the right home to live in and enjoy it to the full is important. We know that and will do all that we can to understand what you’re looking for… before starting to search. And search we will, until we find the house of your dreams.

      Moving to the UK from Abroad

      Relocating is time consuming and stressful. We regularly work with clients who live abroad. We hunt, short-list, prepare your viewings, and make the search process as easy as possible. We oversee the negotiations, manage the conveyancing, and deal with the headaches, so you can concentrate on other aspects of your move.

      Finding a Holiday Home

      A holiday home is often an interesting mix of investment and heartfelt connection. You want to use it, but you may well also be keen for others to use it too. We can advise you on what factors to consider in making your decision. And we can then find the perfect holiday home for you to enjoy.

      Property Investors

      Others say, ‘location, location, location’. We say, ‘location, purpose, price, capital growth, rental returns’… the list goes on. Knowing the market is critical. Local knowledge is key. We ensure all aspects of your property investment decision are addressed. Finding, analysing, negotiating, and completing… it’s what we do.

      .. but have we got a summer?

      There have been some good deals going through over the traditional Spring market – but it started late and transaction levels still remain low.

      The lack of stock has caught many vendors, buyers, potential vendors, potential buyers and agents by surprise.

      The last window to grab an absolute bargain was last winter 2008/2009.  Many potential sellers saw the carnage and and have held off coming to the market over Spring 2009, in the belief that they would not sell as there was no market and/or that they would only be offererd fire-sale prices.  In hindsight, they have been wrong on both counts.  There have been both a market and an acceptable level of adjusted price achieved.

      The question is: what now?

      There will be more stock coming through over the Autumn but supply will remain thin and patchy.  With interest rates remaining low and 90% of homeowners in positive equity, the pressure to come to the market will be driven by the brave, Debt, poor employment prospects and the underlying cycle of changing property requiremnts.  I think that many may miss the opportunity to trade into a market of some stability.

      My advice to those looking to move is get your house on the market, get your finances in order and get ready.

      Winter will be on us before you know it.

      Search on and off market

      Search on and
      off the market

      We can find homes people don’t even know are available. We discuss with you what you’re looking for… and then we start searching.

      View Properties & carry out research

      & carry out research

      Negotiate Price
      & get the best terms

      We’re working for YOU. The agents want a sale; we want the right home for you. We negotiate on your behalf to get the best price and terms for you.

      Contracts completion of sale

      Contracts, paperwork,
      completion of sale

      We take the flak and the frustration. We chase the solicitors, track the paperwork, cross the ‘T’s and dot the ‘I’s for you.
