Property Search & Acquisition

In an increasingly busy and competitive world, engaging a professional property buying agent for such an important purchase is just good common sense.

We are The Buyers Agents – we are here to find the best property for your money, and help you enjoy a hassle free move. And representing thousands of people for more than 40 years, we are experienced and professional.

Our service begins with a thorough review of what you are looking for and why. Buying a property is about a lot more than just place and price. If a family purchase, we need to take into all the aspects of family live – where you work, school, friends, aspirations. If an investment, returns and exit strategy have to weighed up and considered.

The SEARCH part of our service is exactly that – searching out the best property both on and off the market. Once found, we need to get you round as soon as we can, and if you like the property, we will encourage you to view again and again, while we begin the due diligence.

We research the background of the property and the background of the vendor, to put us into the best possible position to NEGOTIATE on your behalf.

Liaising with you every step of the way, we are looking to have the lowest offer accepted on the best terms to suit you.

Once the offer has been accepted, we continue to look at every aspect of the property, work with the surveyor, talk to the neighbours, talk to the planners, conferring with your solicitor right up to Exchange of Contracts.

The property is secured, but the work goes on, helping you with local tradesmen, suppliers, helping you move in and being on hand to advise on any aspect of your new property.

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.
