Property Negotiation Service

You’ve found the perfect property. It ticks all your essential boxes, and you’re getting excited. But, of course, you now don’t want to lose it, but equally so, you don’t want to pay over the odds.

People often think that’s the tricky bit done. But in our minds, the real work starts now.

The Stacks Property Negotiation Service

We love nothing more than getting to the nuts and bolts of a property purchase. The asking price is one thing, but what’s it really worth? What’s the vendor’s position? Do you need to spend money on the property? And if so, how will that affect its value?

If we’re working as a professional property negotiator on your side, you have someone working solely towards getting the best possible price and terms for you. The estate agent you’ve been dealing with actually represents the vendor. They therefore negotiate the best terms for their client, the person who pays them. We, on the other hand, are always the buyer’s agent and we are only working for you.

Property negotiations can pan out in many ways and it’s important to understand the dynamics in order to secure the purchase. But that’s what good negotiators can do. It’s not about egos, it’s about outcomes. Mind you, we do confess that getting a superb price does give us a kick too. When we negotiated 47% off the asking price once it was a special moment, but we digress…

How does our Property Negotiation Service work?

We:

Review: We take the time to understand your situation and establish where you currently stand with regard to progressing with the purchase.

Research: We research the background of the property you’ve found, and also the background of the vendor. Our aim is to put ourselves in the best position to negotiate on your behalf.

Negotiate: We have the awkward conversations. We ask the awkward questions. And we stand firm on the bits that others may waver on. It is our job to get the best price on the right terms for you.

Oversee: Once a price has been agreed, we then oversee the transaction through the entire purchasing and conveyancing process. We aim to make it as much a hassle-free experience for you as we can. So that finally we can then all…

Celebrate: We love nothing more than handing over a set of keys.

If you’d like to speak to someone about our Property Negotiation Service, please do give us a call. We’d be delighted to discuss your requirements in more detail.
