Know where you want to househunt?

How we do it

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 having represented thousands of people over more than 30 years, you can be assured we are experienced and professional.

 

 

Search on and off market

Search on and
off the market

 

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 it is a family purchase, we need to take into all the aspects of family life - where you work, school, friends, aspirations. If an investment, returns and exit strategy have to be 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.

Negotiate Price & get the best terms

& get the best terms

 

We work for you, and only have your interests in mind.

Estate agents want a sale, but we want the right home for you. Because of who we are, our clients have ‘preferred bidder’ status with agents and that enables us to negotiate the best price and best terms on your behalf.

Contracts completion of sale

Contracts, paperwork,
completion of sale

 

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.

Finding a holiday home

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.
Moving from abroad

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.
Downsizing or resizing

Downsizing

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.
