Why they came to Stacks

Mr & Mrs R got in touch with Stacks after Househunting for a while without success, repeatedly being pipped at the post by other purchasers.  They had committed to a rental to begin at Beachborough School, and therefore had some time to continue their search and were looking to line up Rachel’s help in the Autumn.

 

What the local area offer could offer

Schooling in South Northants and North Bucks is extremely strong with many options for all children, including good state schools, grammar options, and private schools that draw students from far and wide : Beachborough, Winchester House, Swanbourne House, Akeley Wood, Thornton College are all popular, plus Milton Keynes has many great schools.

 

What they were looking for

‘The’ house to raise their family, good garden, privacy, scope to make their own mark, within a good community, close to their chosen school.

 

How Stacks helped

Their Regional Director for Buckinghamshire, Rachel Johnston, says “It is always a good idea to begin your conversation with your local Buying Agent early on in your househunt. 

Stacks does not take on clients with competing briefs, but when I was first in the door to this house, I knew instantly that it was not right for my current client, but that it could be ‘the one’ for Mr & Mrs R.

After confirming with the first set of clients, I introduced just this house to Mr & Mrs R, and they immediately brought forward their autumn plans in order to secure it, given the rarity of the house and the highly competitive market. 

This allowed the vendors the flexibility that they needed for their onward househunt and kept the house off the open market and away from those pesky competitors!”

 

The happy outcome

You can move too quickly when the market is moving too fast, and there is a risk of making a hasty decision, which you regret as more information comes to light.  Stacks’ relationship with the agent, experience of the property market and background knowledge of the locality meant that Mr & Mrs R quickly felt across all the detail in order to make a confident decision on this ‘hole in one’.

Mr R says We came to Stacks for expert insights, help to navigate the buying process and for someone with a proven history of being able to deliver on what they said they could.

We received truth delivered with compassion and we felt Rachel was on our side and understood that we wanted not just a house but a home.

 

How Stacks made a difference

Stacks’ relationships with estate agents and track record of delivering good purchasers who keep their promises means that we often are ‘first in the door’ and, in a heated market, that guarantee can help you beat the competition.  We understand clients and their wishlist, and make a habit of  recognising your dream house immediately and helping you secure it!

It’s never too soon to speak to your local Stacks Regional Director when you want to househunt.  We’re always happy to discuss the market and you never know, we may come across ‘the one’ !!

    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.

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.”
