How We Work
There are 3 essential elements to a successful search:
- Search
Sussex Homesearch believes that the key to successfully representing your interests lies in truly understanding your requirements. Free of charge, we come and meet you at a time and place to suit you. We have a detailed discussion where we can clearly ascertain your property preferences while providing guidance on what is achievable for your budget in the current market.
Over the years we have established an extensive network of contacts which comprises of estate agents, developers and private vendors. This means that as well as being informed about all properties currently available, we also know about properties which aren’t officially on the market. An essential element of the service we provide is the previewing of potentially suitable properties on your behalf. This saves you time, expense and disappointment.
Having previewed the properties, we are able to discard the clearly inappropriate properties and produce a list of the ones that fit your criteria.
Viewings are organised to suit you and we can often arrange more flexible viewing times than you would normally be offered when searching as an individual. Sussex Homesearch accompanies you to all viewings and will be there to provide impartial advice and discuss feedback afterwards.
- Negotiation
When the right property is found, we discuss negotiation tactics with you. We believe that our experience helps us to achieve the best possible terms and price for you.
Our negotiating skills mean that our service often more than pays for itself, and our relationships with estate agents mean that we can often give you a competitive advantage if there are other parties interested in a property, as estate agents know that we act for committed buyers and we bring speed and efficiency to get your property to the point of exchange as soon as possible.
- Post Purchase & Legal work
Once the price is agreed, we manage the entire conveyancing process, liaising with the estate agent, your solicitor and mortgage broker if applicable. In our experience, even after a purchase has been agreed things can potentially go wrong. The period leading up to exchange, and then completion, of the purchase is often stressful for all the parties, not least our clients.
Sussex Homesearch have a comprehensive list of services such as solicitors, surveyors, mortgage consultants, architects, interior designers, furnishing companies, cleaning firms, removal companies which may be required.
