Selling and marketing
Photography, positioning and a deliberately narrow buyer list.
Acquisition
Buying advisory
Represented on your side of the table, including on houses we do not list.
Most buyers meet an agent who is paid by the seller. A buying advisory reverses that: we are instructed by you, we search the whole market, and we are the only party in the room whose interest is the same as yours.
It suits people buying from a distance, buying for the first time in a market, or buying something unusual enough that comparables are thin.
Who it suits
- Buying from another country
- Buying an architecturally unusual house
- Short of time rather than short of options
- Wanting a second opinion on a price
What is included
- Written brief
- Whole-of-market search
- Off-market introductions
- Inspection notes
- Negotiation
- Completion management
How it runs
Five stages, and what happens in each
Brief
A long conversation, then a written brief you can amend. Most briefs change once between here and an offer, and that is fine.
Search
Listed stock, quiet stock and off-market. We will tell you which is which.
Shortlist and inspect
You see a short list, not a long one. We visit first and discard the ones that photograph better than they live.
Offer and negotiate
Price, conditions and timetable, with the survey and specification read before the number is agreed.
To completion
We stay on the file through conveyancing and hand over on the day, with the meters read.
Start a conversation
Tell us roughly what you have in mind. There is no obligation and no automated follow-up.
Other services
Lettings and management
Long lets only, managed by one named person for the whole term.
Development advisory
Specification review, phasing reality and off-plan representation.
