Tips on how to buy property post lockdown
Quoting James Greenwood and Bill Spreckley of Stacks Property Finders
Even so, few believe that major change is on the way in the post-Coronavirus world.
On Wednesday this week, thousands of estate agents reopened their doors for business as the cogs of the UK property market slowly kicked into gear once again. However, things are different now. So how should we approach buying in the ‘new normal’?
James Greenwood of Stacks Property Search says: “If you were serious about selling and buying before the lockdown, and are still able to make that move, then you should get yourself ready now the property brakes have been released.
“We expect the market to be tight, but those that are in it will be serious, so you’ll need to have a good game plan. In the new agency world of difficult viewing protocols and nervous vendors, browsers and casual tyre-kickers won’t get the same attention as determined buyers.”

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.
