What makes the perfect London garden?

Quoting Sara Ransom of Stacks Property Finders

In a large sprawling concrete jungle such as London, decent gardens can be a rare find. Somewhere green to relax and recharge your batteries before doing battle on the tube can be a godsend. However, a garden needs looking after and if your’re not the green fingered type then there may be another solution.

This is of course particularly attractive to buyers who are only part time residents, who are older and prefer someone else to do the work, and just the mega-busy.

How we can help you

View our property finder services

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

Property Finder Service

We search high and low, on the market and off the market, and we keep hunting until we’ve found the right property for you. Next we negotiate the best price and terms on your behalf. And then we make sure you enjoy a hassle-free move.

Downsizing or Resizing

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.

Moving from Abroad

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.

Holiday Home Hunt

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.

Investing in UK Property

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.

You have earned every penny of this cheque and what is more, you have done it with great courtesy and good humour. It has been very pleasant working with you. You really did take most of the stress out of our house hunting.”
