How we work

We organise the search, purchase and practical arrangements that follow. At each stage, we explain the choices, the checks still needed and who is responsible for the next step.

1. Discuss your plans

We discuss your budget, intended use, income expectations and how long you plan to own the property. We also ask about financing and the part you want to play in managing it. Before the search begins, we agree the criteria, our tasks and our fees. We reply to a first enquiry within 24 hours.

2. Compare locations

We compare markets and neighbourhoods before recommending homes. Jobs, transport, services, rental demand and ownership costs all affect the choice. We explain why a location may suit your plans and what still needs to be confirmed.

3. Select and view properties

The shortlist sets out prices, key features and the reasons for each recommendation. We arrange viewings and ask sellers or developers about condition, previous work, specifications and handover. The aim is to help you make a decision, including deciding not to buy.

4. Calculate income and costs

Before you commit, we calculate the purchase price, transaction costs, initial work and annual expenses. We check the expected rent against comparable properties and allow for vacancy and repairs. You can see how lower income or higher costs would change the outcome.

5. Arrange the professional checks

We gather the documents and information needed by the local lawyer and other appointed specialists. The lawyer advises on ownership and contracts. We follow up unanswered questions and agreed tasks so you can see what must be resolved before proceeding.

6. Complete the purchase and handover

We coordinate deadlines and communication between the parties and help prepare for handover. The authorised parties make payment and legal decisions, while the relevant specialists provide professional approvals. Outstanding documents and work are recorded clearly.

7. Prepare for use or letting

Where required, we help find providers for furnishing, letting and local management. Their tasks, fees, reporting and repair responsibilities are agreed in advance. Long-term tenancies and holiday accommodation need different arrangements.

Responsibilities and fees

You receive the property comparisons, cost estimates and unresolved questions needed for a decision. Before starting, we explain our role, our fees and any involvement of a seller or another party. If your plans change, we agree any additional work with you. We treat your personal information and financial plans as confidential.
