Stacks the Buying Agent….

  • Saves you Time, Money and Stress.

  • Advises every step of the way.
  • 80% of the properties we buy for clients, are not advertised on the internet.

Professional Expertise

Searching for a new home, particularly when moving to an unknown area, can be a daunting task. Estate Agents work for the sellers, property portals and Google Earth are useful tools but nothing beats a professional property finder on the ground working solely for you, the buyer.

This office has been finding properties for our clients since 1987. We have extensive local knowledge and contacts, and we put all of our experience at our client’s disposal.

We are able to recommend the good local surveyors, solicitors and any other property professionals necessary to see your purchase through to completion.

Over the last 30 years, we have dealt with most of the estate agents in the area. The agents trust us and enjoy working with us, we are often given prior knowledge of properties coming to the market and they make us aware of all their ‘quietly marketed’ properties, which will never be advertised on the internet. They are also able to inform their vendors that our clients are always serious buyers, which puts our clients firmly ahead of any competition.

Our other source of properties is from private contacts, we all live and work in the area and have business, social and family connections locally. Stacks regularly receives calls from prospective vendors, before they list their houses with estate agents. They understand that our clients pay us and therefore, if we have an interested party on our books, the vendors can escape paying estate agent fees.

If our clients have a small defined search area, we often write letters to directly target specific properties.

Money saving?

  • No more hours on the telephone chasing Estate Agents
  • No more hours spent driving miles to view unsuitable properties.
  • No more hours poring over the computer getting excited about houses that aren’t exciting.
  • No more guessing if you are making the right decision at the right price.
  • No more buying in the dark.

Once the property is found and under offer, we will steer the deal through to completion. This is often a difficult time because there are always some issues that crop up, which need to be ironed out. We constantly liaise with the Estate Agents and solicitors, help with the survey and advise on any local professionals needed.

Our job is to put our clients first and make their purchase as stress free as possible.

Bungalows & Single Storey Living

High demand for single storey properties, coupled with declining supply, means that in many areas, bungalows demand a significant price premium. Always expect the price per square foot to be higher than for a family home set over more than one storey, but if it is a popular low-rise area, the price tag might be…

Fear of relocating to the country (FORC)

The trend for migrating from town to country is slowing, and while much of this can be attributed to economic events and political uncertainty, Linda Jeffcoat of Stacks Property Search believes there is also a growing reluctance to make the big move due to practical and emotional fears such as social exclusion, lack of culture,…
