In general terms, we are specialists at over £2 million within the regions covered, especially within a two-hour radius of London. Our High Value team also cover the entire UK for large Country Houses, Farms and Estates at over £7.5 million.
There is no doubt that demand is still far outstripping supply and competition remains strong. It is important to remember that markets can and will fluctuate. Properties that are ‘the best in class’ will always perform in any market and tend to hold their value and these are what we specialise in finding. The key factor is usually location, with proximity to good schooling or transport links, good local amenities, and pretty countryside.
Absolutely! We often assist buyers on this basis and will agree a suitable fee based on the advice and work required. This will range from negotiations to full due diligence, so you have comfort that you are buying at the right price and on the right terms. Often, this is on Farms and Estates where expert advice is really valued as these types of acquisitions are generally complex.
