Need Help With Your ‘Escape To The Country’? Viewing Properties Online And In Person
Unlike on ‘Escape To The Country’, there is no arbitrary limit to the number of houses we can show you. We don’t believe that restricting you to just 3 or 4 houses will always result in the best possible outcome, particularly if the area is completely new to you. It can take time to find your feet and often, people need to see a few properties to firmly decide what it is that they do and don’t like.
In the first few seasons of ‘Escape To The Country’ (think early 2000s), the participants were actually filmed viewing information and photos of the 4 selected properties online. They were then asked to select 2 of the 4 to view in person. Whilst this remains a key element of a Buying Agent Partnership property search, it is not the only source of potential properties.
One of the most common reasons why people choose to use a property finder is that they simply do not have the time or resources to devote to scouring properties online and arranging to view them, only to then be disappointed. This is a particularly big problem for those currently living overseas. The cost of a flight, rental car or public transport and a hotel, can quickly mount up. In addition, they may also want access to properties that never reach the open market – either because the vendors want to handle the sale privately or because they are pre-marketed to a selected range of buyers and buyers’ agents.
Having agreed a brief with you that states your property requirements, we will go away and produce a long list of properties. We will then visit each of these properties on your behalf and prepare a digital feedback report for you. As well as containing our professional opinions and recommendations about the property, it will also feature photographs and video as required. At Buying Agent Partnership we aim to give you as accurate an overview of the property as possible, drawing your attention to those areas that the estate agent or vendor smoothed over. By working in this way, we can ensure that you only view the strongest contenders as your shortlist.
