Property Acquisition
Sourcing Your Next Property
This is the full service where we source, search, screen, select, negotiate, and draft contracts on your behalf.
We consult with you to ascertain precisely the characteristics of the property you wish to acquire. Then we source and negotiate the most advantageous purchase of one or more properties meeting your criteria.
Our professional fee is fixed at the outset, regardless of the actual price you paid for the property. This arrangement enables us to negotiate the contract price as low as possible with no conflict of interest. In most (though not necessarily all) cases, we are able to negotiate a purchase price that saves our clients far more than our total fee.
In sourcing your next home or investment property, we will:
- Search the entire area under consideration, and catalogue any properties that could meet your specification
- Scan up to 15 internet sites daily for any suitable property becoming available
- Contact all agents and many of the salespeople working in the area to advise them of details of the property we are seeking
- Progressively contact all owners of property likely to fit your specifications, to ask them about selling (we will not however, list for sale, any property that meets or almost meets your specification)
- Inspect and comprehensively photograph any properties meeting or close to your specification
- Report to you regularly on:
- Our progress
- Market activity
- Properties we have sourced and screened against your specification
- Gather complete information on any suitable property, enabling you to make a properly informed choice, whether to proceed with a purchase
- Negotiate the best possible price and terms on your behalf and to your advantage
- Liaise with the seller or their agent (if applicable) to ensure the property is properly represented, any known faults and problems disclosed, and all inclusions stay with the property
- Ensure the contract of sale protects your interests and accurately reflects your intended terms and conditions
- Appoint and liaise with a conveyancer on your behalf to ensure your interests are properly protected and a timely settlement is achieved. If you already have a conveyancer, just let us know who it is, and we will use them. If not, we work with several reliable conveyancers, and we will select one of them for you.
- Ensure the seller complies with the contract terms and conditions
- If the seller of the property you select has to buy another property, this may take additional time. We will ensure this matter is dealt with as expeditiously as possible, but we will not represent the seller in any way.
Typically, this project will take up to 3 months to source the ‘right property’. Of course, we may find ‘just what you are looking for’ much sooner than this. But experience tells us that to promise a faster time is likely to result in stress, frustration and disappointment.
Our aim in all this is to remove any burden of worry from your mind, and source that ‘just right’ property and negotiate the most advantageous, fair and satisfying purchase transaction as possible.
We aim to help you get on with your life while the searching, screening, negotiating and legal details are all fully taken care of.
