Together, we will discuss and refine your property requirements and create your Buyer Brief - a concise summary of your ideal home and the key areas we’ll target during the search. This will serve as our roadmap once we begin the house hunt.

I coordinate the groundwork and begin shortlisting properties that align with your Brief. I leverage my network, conduct targeted searches across property portals, collaborate with local estate agents, utilise my bespoke systems, use social media, and even approach vendors directly. If your Brief is particularly specific, I may proactively target select homes. Throughout the process, I will keep you regularly updated on the progress of my search.

I will dedicate time to carefully review potential properties. Each property under consideration for your purchase is personally inspected by me. I take detailed photos and videos, allowing you to view the home at your convenience and gain an honest perspective of its true condition and character, rather than relying solely on another agent’s marketing.

This is a collaborative process, as you know best what you’re looking for. You are welcome to send me homes that you would like me to view on your behalf, or view homes with me and to be as involved in the search as you’d like. While you can leave everything to me, most clients prefer to play an active role to some extent.

When we identify a property that could be the one, I carry out thorough due diligence to ensure you’re making a well-informed decision. This includes obtaining relevant property reports and performing a detailed market analysis to estimate the home’s true value, what you should (and shouldn’t) pay, and to highlight any potential concerns. I also investigate the circumstances behind the sale, looking for signs of seller motivation, such as divorce, business failure, or bereavement, that may not be immediately apparent. With all this insight, I’ll provide clear, strategic recommendations to guide your next steps.

I represent your best interests in every negotiation, with a clear focus on strategically securing the property at the lowest possible price and on terms that are most favourable to you.

I collaborate with trusted surveyors, decorators, removal companies, architects, and builders as needed to ensure your property acquisition proceeds as smoothly as possible. I coordinate all necessary property inspections and can connect you with my network so you can move forward with confidence, knowing you're working with the best in the business.

Once your offer is accepted, your nominated solicitor or conveyancing firm will handle the legal process. I will oversee all aspects where possible to ensure the purchase progresses smoothly through to exchange. I’ll be in regular contact with solicitors, surveyors, mortgage advisors, sellers, and other estate agents to help keep everything on track and within your desired timeframes.

If you need a recommendation, I have excellent, trusted contacts within my network. There is absolutely no obligation to use them, but I strongly encourage you to choose a high-calibre professional to support you, doing so can significantly reduce delays and unnecessary stress.

Just before exchange, I can carry out a pre-exchange inspection of the property to ensure everything is in order. I work closely with you and your legal team to ensure a seamless exchange and completion process, aligned with your preferred timeline. If needed, I can also arrange key collection, coordinate the connection of utilities, and engage professional cleaners, maintenance contractors, and tradespeople to assist with your move, or with the handover to a property manager or letting agent if the property is being let.

The next step is to pop a bottle of bubbly (or your drink of choice) to celebrate your new home!
