Acquiring a Second Home
Clients acquiring second homes have particular challenges often associated with being located well away from their ‘home’ county for the majority of their time and having limited scope to undertake a full homesearch. County Homesearch Cotswolds will be your eyes and ears on the ground and will undertake all the necessary groundwork to seek out appropriate properties and organise viewings of suitable properties.
We are also highly experienced keeping these searches very focused on exactly what is required of a second home, which is often quite different from those factors necessary in a main residence. Our focus is always to ensure your budget is used in the most efficient way possible. Our service covers the following aspects:
- Detailed interview to fully understand client’s requirements in terms of property, location, budget, timescales etc. This can be achieved through a combination of phone and e-mail if location factors make a face to face meeting difficult.
- Area Advice vs. Budgets
- Estate agent contact and Property Search
- Preview of all suitable properties
- Organising and accompanying our clients on block viewings of suitable properties at times convenient to our clients to ensure maximum time efficiency.
- Advice on negotiation strategy and undertaking negotiation.
- Recommendations of associated professionals – mortgage advisors, solicitors, structural surveyors etc
- Support and advice through to exchange of contract.
