Background: Looking for a desirable country property for sale in Kent or East Sussex is a challenging task on the best of days. Finding one that can house two families, one dog and three horses, with additional room for stabling, paddocks and space to land a helicopter verges on the impossible. Yet this was the task presented to Sands Home Search by Bill Lowry, M.D. of Biggin Hill Helicopters*. To add to the pressure he needed to move in time for the start of the next school year. Accustomed to such demands, Sands set to work, combing the area for a property that would meet every one of the stringent requirements. Case study: Perhaps surprisingly for those unfamiliar with property acquisition specialists, Spring Farm Oast was located and decided upon within two weeks. "New clients often don't realise that finding the right property is only half the task," Shaun Ascough comments. "Because we are constantly looking for quality properties, we tend to hear about them first. The negotiations that follow are the next crucial step." Shaun Ascough advised Bill Lowry that sellers and their estate agents do not always accept the highest offer. A lower offer is often more acceptable if buyers are able to demonstrate that they are in a position to proceed with the sale immediately. Bill Lowry finalised his financing arrangements, whilst Sands identified a full picture about the property to determine the most effective offer negotiation strategy. Through ten days of intense negotiations, Shaun Ascough kept Bill Lowry fully updated with progress reports that demonstrated the time, effort and skills involved in the process. The outcome was beneficial for everyone. The seller sold Spring Farm Oast to a buyer able to complete quickly. Bill Lowry secured the property at a six figure discount on the asking price - something he would never have thought possible at the outset. During the subsequent conveyancing process in the weeks leading up to the day of exchange, Sands remained calm and helpful, resolving every issue, however small. Bill Lowry exchanged contracts on 16 September and completed a week later, moving into his new home which was everything he and his family had ever wanted. "I certainly would not hesitate in recommending the services of Sands Home Search" Bill Lowry To benefit from the Sands Home Search service, please call in confidence on 01425 462 549. |
