1. No obligation meeting - The first step is to arrange a meeting at your home or work to learn about your requirements and to discuss how our service may be tailored to suit. We advise on market conditions and how to maximise what is achievable for your budget within your chosen areas. Your consultant will be your single point of contact and oversee the entire process, liaising with all estate agents, solicitors, bankers, surveyors and other professional advisors.
2. Comprehensive property search brief - Clients will have unique and specific requirements and together we work closely to create a focused brief from which we search. Due consideration is given to individual lifestyles and living requirements and advice provided on the most suitable areas, architectural styles and internal configuration. Tell us what you are looking for
3. Area familiarisation tour - A tour of preferred and/or suggested areas can be arranged before the property search commences. This usually entails a days driven tour through selected areas providing an overview of property styles and values, local amenities and the pros and cons of each area. Although part of our property search service, this is also available without commitment to non-clients.
4. Proactive property search - It takes approximately ten days to carry out our initial research, previews and set up the first tour. Subsequent tours become increasingly targeted and will continue until the perfect property is found. We proactively source property which is being openly, as well as quietly, marketed through estate agents, developers and private owners. It is this exhaustive approach to searching which enables us to gain early or pre-market access to property. We have long standing relationships with estate agents, who give us priority on new information and properties as they value our committed purchasers and the efficiency that we bring to the home buying process.
5. Convenient tours - Your property search consultant will arrange all viewings at your convenience. They can collect you from work/home and accompany you on all tours advising on the negatives as well as the positives of each property.
6. Negotiation - All negotiations are handled on behalf by our experienced team. Results demonstrate that more often than not our home finding service becomes self-funding. It is essential to establish a considered opinion of value before starting negotiations in order to give you confidence in the price you ultimately pay. Once you have selected a property, we will provide comparable evidence, discuss tactics and handle the negotiation on your behalf. Our reputation means that where the vendor has more than one bid to consider, our influence and contacts can prove critical in tipping the balance in our clients' favour.
7. Reporting - We provide monthly update reports to ensure that your search maintains the correct focus. Reports detail the time spent acting on your behalf, along with an update on current market conditions, an overview of your search progress to date, any conclusions drawn and the ongoing focus for the following month. As soon as you have a property under offer, we produce a comprehensive Property Report including the surrounding area, market statistics, comparable sales figures, local area info and Land Registry data.
8. Oversee conveyancing - Once a deal is agreed, your home search consultant proactively manages all parties and oversees the entire process on your behalf. The aim is to ensure that the deal proceeds to completion as swiftly as possible.
