Buyers services

Are you too busy/far away/unable to spend the time looking for your ideal home in the Penarth/Dinas Powys/Sully area of the Vale of Glamorgan?

• Pre-search
Before we begin our search, we need to establish your ideal property either by meeting you in your home or at a convenient location so that we can take a detailed brief of your property requirements. We need to discuss your preferred location, the style and condition of the property, the number of bedrooms needed, size of garden or land required, as well as your budget and timescale for moving.
We can also discuss how our service can be tailored to your specific needs and requirements.

• Pro-active search

Once we have established your property requirements and your preferred area, we can begin our search…

Our search on your behalf will be both exhaustive and thorough, we are highly proactive in sourcing properties which are being both openly and quietly marketed through national and independent estate agents, private sellers and developers, we are often aware of properties for sale before they are even marketed, indeed we often have owners of properties asking us if we have any “hot buyers” (buyers in a position to proceed immediately) This gives us an edge in finding you your home. This is where we, with our inside knowledge of the property market, can often secure the property for you before it is even advertised.

We register your details with the estate agents in the area and maintain a close dialogue with them: contacting them at regular intervals and making sure that we keep up to date with all the new properties coming on to their books. We explore the internet and trawl through the local papers for private advertisements in our quest to find your ideal home.

We do all the legwork for you and our in-depth search is intensive and time consuming. It takes us on average about two weeks to thoroughly research the market and to arrange the first viewings. We view numerous properties on your behalf, selecting the best, and then drawing up a shortlist of the suitable properties to meet your criteria. We will then take digital photos of the property  then either be post or e-mail you along with an unbiased report highlighting the pros and cons of each property. These reports enable you to decide which of the shortlisted properties you wish to view, saving you wasted journeys and unsatisfactory viewings.

•  Arrange viewing

We will arrange all your viewings at times convenient to yourselves and accompany you on all viewings. This means that we can provide you with impartial advice and discuss any points that may be raised during the viewing.

• . Negotiation

Once you have chosen the home you wish to purchase we will discuss tactics and, should you wish, handle the negotiations on your behalf. With our widespread knowledge of the local property market combined with the incentive provided by our fee structure, you can be assured that we will aim to secure the property at the lowest possible price. This often means that our service becomes self funding and therefore saves you money.

• Follow through

Once the purchase price has been agreed and notification of sale has been issued, we will continually chase the sale through – advising you every step of the way.
