Going round the bend
Quoting James Greenwood of Stacks Property Finders
Curves have always had allure—and we’re not only talking about the female figure. From Stonehenge to Zaha Hadid’s creations, rounded buildings delight and fascinate in equal measure and often make for distinctive homes. ‘They’re easy on the eye and we’re instinctively drawn to the curved shape, which occurs naturally, so curved buildings appeal to property buyers,’ believes James Greenwood of Stacks Property Search (01594 842880). Indeed, converted windmills, towers and oast houses ‘always attract a lot of interest and tend to sell easily,’ he adds.
‘Architects are using curves with increasing frequency, usually as an element to a property,’ says Mr Greenwood. This is particularly apparent in London, where One Blackfriars, the apartment tower informally known as The Vase due to its curved asymmetrical shape; iconic Gasholders, the striking reinvention of two former gasometers at King’s Cross; and Riverwalk, two apartment blocks in Westminster with distinctive rippling and wavy exteriors, are all striking examples.

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.
