Buying agent
We can help you find your perfect home
We are not only estate agents selling homes, we also act as a buying agent. We look for homes and seek to acquire them on behalf of our clients. Some clients just want help looking for a new home, some want help to evaluate a property and to negotiate the best deal.
Buying a home for many people is the single most expensive purchase we make in our lives and we only do it on average every seven years, so its important to get it right! The properties we have sourced range from a beach hut on the east coast, to buying a multi-million country residence, to helping investors build property portfolios.
According to Rightmove.co.uk sellers typically accepted around 5% less than their final asking price. Zoopla says that it’s just 3.86% and figures published by Hometrack suggest that an average buyer pays 97% of the asking price. We often achieve substantial savings for our clients well above these figures.
A buying agent can
- Source off-market properties – those available but not advertised on websites or in agents’ windows
- Advise on areas, compare and contrast different places
- Research a street, village or town, looking at crime and natural threats such as flooding to assess relative value
- Research the motivations of the sellers
- Comment on yield and the potential for capital growth
- Negotiate with the seller and their agent
- Introduce the best mortgage brokers, accountants and wealth managers along with advisors, tradesmen & lawyers
- Liaise with solicitors, valuers, surveyors, architects, builders and contractors
- Help to make your next move the smoothest and painless experience as possible
