Quoting James Greenwood of Stacks Property Finders
SELECT YOUR AREA CAREFULLY :
Do you need to commute back to the city for work? What are the local education options (even if you don’t have children yet)? How long would the school run be? How far away are your relatives? Do you know the area or anyone there already? Will you break out in hives if you’re more than 10 minutes from a packet of chia seeds or a decent flat white? “If you’re commuting, an hour door-to-door is the magic number most people can stand, with an hour and a half being the absolute maximum,” says James Greenwood, a director at the buying agency Stacks Property Search. “Even in a village just outside a city, a journey that takes 20 minutes on a Sunday evening can take an hour at peak time on Monday morning.”

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.
