Stacks Property Search are the most experienced property finders and buying agent in Rutland and the shires.

Multum in Parvo – Much in Little is the motto for the small but beautifully formed county of Rutland sitting in the heart of the country.

While Rutland lies at the heart of my territory we actually cover a much wider area incorporating parts of Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, and Bedfordshire. That’s a bit of a mouthful we so Stacks – Rutland it is!

I have lived between Stamford and Oundle for over a decade and being at the heart of my patch is absolutely key to knowing the area, knowing the locals, and knowing the agents. Being a buying agent isn’t just finding off-market properties.

It is hearing of opportunities whether they are off market, discreet, or soon to be published to the world wide web.

It is knowing the estate agents and having excellent working relationships with them so that they come to us first.

It is knowing which solicitor, surveyor, architect, builder, electrician, plumber to call to ensure you get the best service.

It is a bespoke hand-holding service that takes you through the whole acquisition process from the initial search, to making an offer, being present for a survey, talking to your solicitors, and guiding the process through to exchange and finally the delight of cork-popping completion on your new home.

Most homeowners will move, on average, once every fifteen years. It is a stressful and time-consuming exercise. A buying agent takes away a lot of the pressures of the process and as we are involved with multiple transactions every year, we do provide you with the experience and professionalism to guide you through the stress of moving.

What our clients say

Clare – Vale of Belvoir – June 2021

“I had never heard of a buying agent before I spoke to Charlie and when we had our first telephone

“I had never heard of a buying agent before I spoke to Charlie and when we had our first telephone conversation in February 2021 and he explained the process to me, I remember saying to him “that’s exactly what I need”. Everyone needs a Charlie – in a frenetic market he secured my new home, found me a brilliant surveyor and an amazing solicitor – both of whom worked wonders to achieve completion inside the Government’s stamp duty holiday with a day to spare, and I moved in at the beginning of July.

Charlie was up against it – my brief was straight forward but the search area was small: only two villages! The negotiations were fast and furious, but Charlie was a brilliant sounding board and a source of wisdom and experience in putting together a successful offer.

And now I wake up every morning with a smile on my face, slightly incredulous even 12 months on, that I have my perfect home.

I could not recommend Charlie more highly – he handled all the negotiations efficiently and promptly and made the whole process very straightforward. He was very easy to get on with and has a great sense of humour – always a bonus in these situations!”

“We worked with Charlie Rearden to find our new home after moving back to the UK from California. Charlie is a consummate professional. He has deep inside knowledge and contacts and in what turned out to be difficult market conditions stuck with us and was always enthusiastic and level headed , which included talking me out of a few rash decisions along the way! He didn’t stop once we had found a home. He worked really hard to keep all parties engaged and finally get a deal done. A great guy to have on your team. Thanks. Andrew and Lynne.”

Jim and Bonnie Head – August 2023

“Charlie was brilliant. With our young family, lots on at work, I don’t see how we could otherwise have

“Charlie was brilliant. With our young family, lots on at work, I don’t see how we could otherwise have had a target location of Rutland (2-3 hours drives from where we were living in London). In the end the search was a little over a year long. In effect, Charlie was like a coach & advisor to us. We couldn’t have achieved what we did without his help. We are very pleased with the outcome, – a huge foundational building block of our future life now sorted.”
