My clients wanted to acquire a home in RBK&C. They had owned several properties in London, but knew they needed help to find the best property their money could buy as this was to be the family home now that they had two children.
They wanted a property that required renovation so that they could tailor it to the specific needs of the family. They particularly wanted to avoid the “typical” tall, narrow London house.
We found them an interesting opportunity because it was a distressed sale. The property itself was also unusual as it had originally been a large artist’s studio that had been split into three flats. However, not only was it possible to amalgamate them back into one property but there was also considerable scope to extend to create a home that would be ideal for the family (see additional photos below).
“We wanted a property that we could renovate and turn into something that suited our family needs. Jeremy found us the ideal property and then managed a complicated purchasing negotiation involving a number of sellers and multiple issues. Not only did he manage to significantly improve on the price we had discussed, but he also managed to keep all parties committed to the purchase and to an agreed timescale.
Without Jeremy’s hard work we probably would not have completed the purchase and had we done so, we would certainly have paid a higher price. We could not recommend him highly enough.”
Uncovering opportunities such as this is not easy. We speak to over 200 estate agents every week, have a list of over 500 off-market contacts and six other steps we use in our search process. In short, we leave no stone unturned to find our clients the best property their money can buy.
This is then combined with a tested and proven negotiation process to achieve the lowest price possible.
So, if you are serious about acquiring a property in London, would it be a bad idea to discover how to have first refusal on the best properties and then acquire them at favourable prices?
