James Greenwood of Stacks Property Search says, “We welcome the Help to Buy scheme announced by the Chancellor today. Very good news that there’s help for home owners wanting to move at the middle of the market as well as those at the lower end. There are too many people ‘stuck’ at various points of the ladder, not just difficulties for those trying to get on it in the first place. Yes, it is of chief benefit to house builders, but anything that gets people moving and frees up the market must be good for home owners and the economy. The Help to Buy scheme is not available to landlords, but we’d be interested to know how this affects owners for whom circumstances dictate the need to rent in the short to medium term. As always, the devil will be in the detail.
“We lament the fact that nothing’s been done to address Stamp Duty iniquities.”

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