So what does a Buying Agent actually do?

The short answer is that your Buying Agent does everything necessary to get you living happily in your next home, whatever form that takes!

We help you define the drivers for your move,  then put our local market knowledge and relationships to work to find property that will work for you and your family.
We act for you and only you.  We undertake the due diligence on the property and the area, independently analysing and assessing all the factors from your perspective as the future homeowner.
Agents know that Stacks are house-hunting for clients who are credible, proceedable buyers which puts us at an advantage when using our acquisition experience to negotiate on your behalf, ensuring the best possible deal for you.
We support and smooth the process of buying the property, through to completion and beyond if necessary.  Leaving the liaison with all the parties to Stacks Northamptonshire delivers the stress-free happy result of a new home for you.

The Complete Service will be bespoke to you, but our house-hunting support will move you steadily through these phases

We listen to understand what you’re looking for in a property…and why

Our property finding and buying process starts with a kick off meeting with you where we’ll talk together about how and where you want to live, the demands of your work, and your plans. We’ll understand what you need from your next home… and why.

We do the searching for the best property – on & off the market…saving you time

We’ll scour the market, bend the ears of our contacts, and hound the estate agents. We’ll leave no stone unturned to find the right home for you.

We preview, vet, and shortlist the properties we find…saving you hassle

At this point of the property buying process we can help take the pressure off. We’ll check the properties out first and think creatively on your behalf (because we understand what you’re trying to achieve). And we’ll rule out properties with problems without wasting your time.

We arrange viewings of shortlisted properties…making it easy

Viewing properties is the fun part of the property buying process. We arrange viewings of the properties we know you’ll love and fit them around your schedule. We’ll be there with you at each viewing to make sure we’re asking all the right questions. Once the viewing is over, we listen to your feedback and apply this to our ongoing search.

We research what you need to know about the property…strengthening your buying position

When it comes to the property buying process, the more you know, the stronger your position is in negotiation. So, we’ll delve deep into the background of the property and dig up any surprises. Our aim is to put you in the best position when we negotiate on your behalf.

We negotiate the best price for the chosen property…saving you money

One of the most important parts of the property buying process – negotiating a buy price. We’ll haggle hard and bring all that we’ve discovered to bear to agree the best terms on your behalf. You’ll have more clout as our clients enjoy preferred bidder status with estate agents.

We ensure the legal process goes smoothly…saving you headaches

This is the part of the property buying process which people often find the most stressful, that’s why it’s great to have a buying agent on your side. We’ll problem-bust, tackle obstacles, arrange surveys, liaise with planners or whoever you need to hear from. A myriad of issues can raise their head at this point… we’ll deal with them all for you.

We support you all the way through to completion…and help you move in!

We go as far as tracking down local tradesmen and suppliers and make sure the property is as you want it to be before you take the keys… We’ll even bring stuff for a cuppa and help you move in! Using a property finder and buying agent can make your property buying process run smoothly and stress-free for you. Contact Stacks today to start your journey. Let us find the perfect home for you.

If you are still wondering whether ‘someone like me**’ uses a Property Search Agent, the answer is, that amongst our past clients, almost definitely ‘YES!’ 

(**And that includes first time buyers, first-in-a-long-time buyers, last-time buyers, singletons, divorcees, the bereaved, couples, families, multigenerational cohabitees, investors, entrepreneurs, the nervous, the confident, the gazumped, returning expats, foreign nationals, property professionals, estate agents, surveyors, lawyers, relocators, commuters, escape-to-the-country-ers…)

We will only take on clients whom we can help, so calling can do no harm – we are always happy to talk property in our patch, so, worst case, we’ll say ‘sorry but you’re being unrealistic’  – and even that might help in your search, mightn’t it ?
