Success story | Stacks Property Search and Acquisition

Newsletter spring 2016

Tom and Gemma were beginning to burst out of their 3 bed (plus boxroom) detached house in South-West London, when they first came to see us.

It has been ample with two kids, but now they had three, it had become a bit of s scrum.

They book in to one the regular surgeries that we run across London and in our new office in Nightingale Lane. Although both Tom and Gemma had grown up in the country it was clear that they were nervous of a move out of London.

Due to work and kids and general run-around, it was the first time that they had really had an opportunity to talk about their hopes and aspirations for the lives they wanted for themselves and their children. We talked about schools – and commutes – and access to their friends – and proximity to their parents. And once we had talked, it all fell into place really. They did want more space and garden for the family, within touching distance of London. We looked at the map and discussed the areas that they did and didn’t know. It was obvious that they should be looking along the M40 corridor.

For our local office to find, negotiate and secure the right house was the easy bit in some ways. Helping them pluck up the courage and make the move in the first place was the hardest bit!

Tom, Gemma and the 3 kids moved into their new home last August. Selling London and moving to the country has given them twice the floor space and a huge garden. They couldn’t be happier.

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 showed fantastic attention to detail, anticipated all eventualities, and provided timely and practical help and guidance every step of the way. Above all, you supported me in making my own considered decisions, and I am so grateful to you for all your help in getting me to where I am now!”

“We firmly believe that without Rachel and her skilled negotiation we would not have secured the property.”

“We felt they genuinely wanted to help.”

“Stacks’ performance on this assignment has been absolutely outstanding and more than met my expectations. Her understanding of the brief and the ‘after-find’ service set a standard of professionalism that I have not met before.”

“It is not often that one is pleased to part with money but I can truthfully say that I am on this occasion. 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.”

“Encouraging me to think creatively about what could work for me.”

“Finding a plot not yet on the market and persuading the developer to enter into an exclusive contract with me to build to my specification.“

“I was impressed by the efficient, kind and courteous service provided by Stacks”

“Stacks were a tremendous help and we would never have found our home without them. She is a lovely person with a great sense of humour which was essential during some of our tricky negotiations“
