HOW DO WE SEARCH?
For us to find property for you, we first and foremost we establish your requirements. Then using our experience and network of contacts we start an intensive search. We don’t just look for the type of house you specified. We look at all your requirements, location, Schools, commuting distances, local amenities and any items important to you. We can do environmental searches on the short listed properties, preventing you wasting time and money on conveyance fees for unsuitable properties.

WHY SHOULD ESTATE AGENTS WORK WITH US?
Estate Agents understand buyers we put forward have already made an investment in finding their new home, so they know you are serious. Which puts you in a very privileged position and ahead of other buyers in the market place. There is no conflict of interest, we do not compete with Estate Agents, don’t forget Estate Agents only work for the seller the person paying them. We only work for the Buyer; we compliment the service they offer by providing a steady stream of qualified buyers. Which gives you a considerable advantage over other buyers in the market.

WHERE DO WE FIND THE PROPERTY?
We contact Estate Agents across the Home Counties, London, including any specific area identified from your requirements. Ensuring we have up to the minute information on properties currently on the market and those soon to be advertised. Giving us access to property before it comes onto the open market. Which in turn gives our clients an advantage over the other buyers, as the best properties in any price range are commonly sold before the Estate Agents write up the details.
Additionally we search the Internet and Press, firstly for Agent advertised property and equally important Privately advertised property. Many sellers do not instruct an Estate Agent for a variety of reasons. We target specific locations and roads using mail drops, seeking out homeowners thinking of selling. Helping them save on Agent fees meaning you can benefit by a potential price reduction.

VIEWING
It normally takes about ten days to research the market for you. We pre-view property we have short-listed, to produce a further short-list of property for discussion with you. All viewings are arranged at your convenience. We would make sure we accompany you at all times, to discuss the points of each property and to continue to learn about your requirements during the viewing and after following your feedback. We will provide you (with Vendors permission) digital photographs and video, a report on the property, and the existing details from the agents.

REPORTING
Reports are regular while we continue our search to find the right property with the unique combination of location, price, size and aspect, all the factors making for the perfect home. Finding your ideal home may take two weeks or two months, sometimes a little longer. You can be comforted to know that we are working hard moving your search on for you.

NEGOTIATION
We will work with you every step of the way in the negotiation phase. We are not emotionally involved, so it is easier for us to negotiate from a position of strength. However, if you would like to handle the negotiations yourself then we will be more than happy to assist you at every stage

PURCHASE
You have decided on your dream home and agreed a price. From here you will need to instruct solicitors, appoint a Surveyor and possibly finalise your financial requirements with your Banker or other Financial Institution. Not forgetting removal companies, Insurance, Utility companies, etc.
We attend to most matters during the Search and Purchase process. We will inform you where you need to be involved. As you know this is the most critical time period during a Home purchase. Many people suffer frustratingly at the hands of Gazumpers who prey on seller’s fears of the purchase dragging on. We keep in close contact with all parties during this phase; this can mean daily calls to Solicitors, Vendors and Agents. Making sure everyone is kept up to date on the progress being made.

BUYING AS AN INVESTMENT?
There is a lot of talk of using property as an investment. Your family home is one of the most important investments you will ever make.
