Live like a lord in a stately wing
Quoting James Greenwood of Stacks Property Finders
Experts have mixed feelings about these type of homes. ‘There’s something rather wonderful about seeing an enormous country house at the end of a drive,’ says James Greenwood of Stacks Property Finders. ‘But buyers should remember that properties like this were not designed to be apartments. Are the rooms fit for purpose?
‘Look at practicalities. These are often tall buildings. Are there lifts? Is the sound proofing good?
‘Pay attention to the terms of your management fees. Are you responsible if there are structural problems with another part of the building? Do you have to pay for upkeep of the grounds, swimming pool and tennis courts?’

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.
