At Stacks, we have been helping people move to, or relocate back to the UK for well over 30 years now.


Our clients have found our service absolutely invaluable, as we have saved them time, money and a lot of stress. Buying a property is one of the few things these days that you cannot do over the internet from a distance. We have local offices on the ground who know the local properties, the local market and give you the very best advice.

The first thing we would do is to encourage you to start thinking and talking and acting as early as you can. We would suggest that you talk to us, if you can, two years before your planned move – two years is ‘tomorrow’ in property terms. The last thing you and we want is for you to be under pressure to buy a property with work and family commitments looming.

Once we have taken a brief on a visit to the UK, where we can meet wherever is convenient, or by phone and Skype if you are not in the UK at all, we can get into the market on your behalf. We will be looking at and short-listing the best houses for you to see.

On a visit to the UK, all the arrangements will be made for you to tour and view your short-list.

Once a good house has been found, we will start the due diligence to make sure that we are in the best position to negotiate the best price for you.

Being local and on the ground, we will oversee the survey and and conveyancing process, making sure that matters are dealt with so that you know that you are buying the right property.

    How we can help you

    View our property finder services

    When making probably the most important financial decision of your life, it pays to have the right advisors at your side.

    Property Finder Service

    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 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.

    Holiday Home Hunt

    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.

    Investing in UK Property

    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 investment decision are addressed. Finding, analysing, negotiating, and completing… it’s what we do.

    “You showed fantastic attention to detail, anticipated all eventualities, and provided timely and practical help and guidance every step of the way.  Above all, you supported me in making my own considered decisions, and I am so grateful to you for all your help in getting me to where I am now!”

    “We firmly believe that without Rachel and her skilled negotiation we would not have secured the property.”

    “We felt they genuinely wanted to help.”

    “Stacks’ performance on this assignment has been absolutely outstanding and more than met my expectations. Her understanding of the brief and the ‘after-find’ service set a standard of professionalism that I have not met before.”

    “It is not often that one is pleased to part with money but I can truthfully say that I am on this occasion. You have earned every penny of this cheque and what is more, you have done it with great courtesy and good humour. It has been very pleasant working with you. You really did take most of the stress out of our house hunting.”

    “Encouraging me to think creatively about what could work for me.”

    “Finding a plot not yet on the market and persuading the developer to enter into an exclusive contract with me to build to my specification.

    “I was impressed by the efficient, kind and courteous service provided by Stacks”

    “Stacks were a tremendous help and we would never have found our home without them. She is a lovely person with a great sense of humour which was essential during some of our tricky negotiations
