I'm not sure where I want to live | Stacks Northamptonshire

How can we help if you’re not sure where you want to live

Naturally many of our clients won’t know exactly where they want to end up within Northamptonshire – and that is one of the key aspects your local property expert Rachel can help you with.

If you are making a bigger move to a new patch, but are not sure whether Northamptonshire might provide the right combinations of factors, there may be wider concerns to be addressed first. Before taking the plunge with appointing a Buying Agent to find your new home, there are some aspects of our overall service that may help firm up your brief, and these can be arranged before fully retaining us.

Our daily rate is £300 plus VAT, deductible from our retention fee, but please call us to discuss how best we can help you, as each situation is unique.

Using a Buying Agent: Initial Consultation

Free, no obligation chat to confirm whether we can help

Stacks’ breadth of coverage means that we know an awful lot about many areas, and our 40 years of experience in happily matching people with homes in the right areas for them means we can provide an Initial Consultation to discuss the very basics of your decision to relocate, which can be invaluable in establishing your search parameters and chosen destination.

Orientation Day

As part of the Complete Package, or on a day rate if necessary

It may be that an Orientation day, out in the car with the Regional Director, will help you understand an area in more depth, and help you refine your wishlist realistically within your budget.

School Advice

As part of the Complete Package, or referred to partners

If schools are a priority, our partner The Good Schools Guide can provide excellent personalised help for you and your children in choosing a school, however you may just prefer to have a School Viewing Day accompanied by us to visit specific private or state schools to help narrow your area of search.

Living In… Reports

As part of the Complete Package or bespoke

As a natural part of our service we will compile information on the amenities in your new area such as childcare, fitness classes, hobbies and activities, church communities, and of course practical information on doctors, dentists and the daily commute. If this is of help prior to your search we can provide this as an informative “Living in ….” Report that, on every occasion, is created afresh, specifically for you and your family’s interests and requirements.

Planning for Post-Completion

As part of the Complete Package

An often daunting part of the process are the practicalities of moving, perhaps for the first time in years. We can assist in all aspects of this, and have a large directory of tried and tested local tradesmen and suppliers who will make this all easier for you. One of our more innovative services was to move beehives between properties, but it doesn’t have to be that exotic! Planning for Post-completion help is a flexible feast, but could include removal companies, storage companies, architects, builders, interior designers, cleaners, etc. Stacks can screen, appoint or supervise these services as required by you, and of course, attendance on completion day to retrieve the keys, check the property condition, take meter readings etc is all part of the service.
