How a buyer can help with your property purchase

Every year, on average the cost of property in the UK rises. With property almost certainly the most expensive purchase you’ll make in your life, getting it right is more important than ever.

One of the best ways to make sure you’ve found your perfect home, and that you’re able to secure it, is to use a property buyer. Just like Phil and Kirsty on Location, Location, Location, property buyers are there to scour the market, help you find the perfect property and support you throughout the house hunting process. Giving you a huge advantage in today’s competitive market, a property buyer could make all the difference to your search and mean you find the right property, in the right area and at the right price 

Finding the right property

Finding the right property is the biggest challenge of any house hunt. Without a property buyer, you’re at the mercy of your local estate agents. You’ll only find out about available properties when they come on the market and will have to battle it out with other interested parties to secure your dream home.

When you use a professional property buyer however, you’ll be one step ahead of the competition. A buyer will be able to source homes that haven’t yet hit the market and get you in to see your favourite properties before other buyers have the chance. You’ll also find out other important information like how long the property has sat on the market, the standard of local schools, planning environment as well as how long that commute will really take and not just what the map/sat nav tells you may be a five minute journey as country roads and tractors don’t always come with a warning! As well as other important price and property details.

The finer detail

A lot of the time, house hunters become so focused on finding the perfect property they overlook the finer details. A professional property buyer will be able to check the distance from the facilities that matter most to you, find the nearest green spaces and local amenities and source properties with specialist features like landscaped gardens, annexes and swimming pools. Importantly, a buyer will also check for undesirable features like proposed development in the local area, poor transport links and unruly neighbours.

In many cases, a professional buyer will view properties on behalf of a house hunter to ensure a home meets all their criteria. This can dramatically reduce the amount of time you have to spend viewing properties and should ensure that the home you buy is perfect for your needs, both now and in the future.

Negotiations

Once you’ve found your dream property, you need to secure it. Negotiating a property purchase is a delicate process and it’s important you approach it in the right way. At the moment, the UK property market is a little bit unpredictable. As property expert Henry Pryor says “There are lots of icebergs bobbing about in the property ocean just at the moment, uncertainty is all around and as everyone knows, like all markets the property market hates uncertainty.”

A professional buyer will be able to effectively navigate the market, no matter how unpredictable it is, and help you secure your property for a great price.
