"What
I liked most was your ability to get the inside track on the seller's
position which subsequently enabled you to secure the property at
such a large reduction from asking price"

Our
extensive network of contacts combined with indepth market knowledge
enables us to provide our clients with a complete property buying
service.
All
our clients are personally represented throughout by one of the
founding principals who will manage the whole process of property
search, successful offer negotiations through to exchange of contracts
and beyond.
The service in detail:
Property Search & Selection:
We employ a professional property team who make sure that they are
the first to hear of suitable properties by reviewing all relevant
local/national property publications, by undertaking extensive research
for available property on the thousands of internet sites now in
existence and by maintaining daily contact with all relevant estate
agents.
We also review all our clients' requirements against our in-house
database of over 4,000 private property sellers and property developers
with available properties for sale.
Where practical we will also directly target potential properties
which are not on the open market on behalf of our clients. This
usually takes the form of direct mailings and on occasions a knock
on the owner's door.
We will pre-screen all properties to make sure that you only receive
details of properties meeting your specific requirements to save
your time and to avoid wasted journeys.
We can also arrange familiarisation tours of the areas of interest
by car or helicopter.
"Over 50% of properties sourced for
clients to date have been secured before they reached the open market."
Offer Negotiation - securing properties for the lowest possible
prices:
Private Sales : We often identify properties for our clients which
are not on the open market or are being privately marketed. Typically
there are no estate agents fees to be incurred by the seller and
therefore there is usually a better deal to be brokered which is
mutually beneficial to both buyer and seller.
In determining an offer negotiation strategy with our clients, we
are able to research and advise following identification of comparable
price data and inside feedback from our network of contacts.
We will advise on an appropriate method of presenting and packaging
an offer on each property, to ensure where possible that our clients
are successful in securing the property they have selected.
We can advise on lock out agreements or confidentiality clauses
as appropriate.
We believe that clients which are represented by Sands Home Search
are treated as preferred bidders in competitive situations and any
offers made on properties are looked upon more favourably by the
seller/seller's agents with our representation.
"Over the last 12 months we have achieved
on average a 12% reduction to asking price."
Acquisition:
Following acceptance of the offer we can assist to arrange surveys,
liase with solicitors and generally deal with other ancillary property
matters to make sure that the acquisition of the property runs smoothly
through to legal exchange, completion and beyond.
