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.

      As expected, the Chancellor did a good job of talking up major cuts and tax rises, before delivering a Budget that was more politically benign.

      Regarding the property market, Mr. Osborne did not have a lot to say.  It looks as if the loopholes that have been used by wealthier buyers to avoid Stamp Duty are to be reviewed.

      However the best thing that The Budget has delivered, is the fact that it has been delivered.  Since the Election, there have been thousands of buyers and sellers of property who have been sitting on their hands and saying, ‘I am going to wait to see what the Budget will bring.’  I am not sure quite what people were expecting, but it was uncertain times and there could have been major specific proposals aimed at the housing market, particularly at the top end.

      But that hasn’t happened.

      There are really no more excuses, and we hope to see a housing market that will grow in confidence and transaction levels, if not in price appreciation, as properties are released onto the market and the 1.5 million who would have been expected to move over the last 2 years become more active.

      We expect prices to be stable.  ‘Caveat vendor’ is our motto – seller beware – and we will be negotiating hard for our clients.

      Search on and off 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

      & 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.
