Buying a home is likely to be one of the largest financial commitments you will make in your life and yet so often people begin the process unprepared and without proper professional support. This is where property consultants or property search agents as they’re sometimes called, can really benefit you. Whether you’re looking to buy a penthouse apartment in London, an elegant town house in Bath, a grand country house, an equestrian property or a simply unique home for your family, a property consultant can help.

The role of a property consultant is to make the process of finding your new property as smooth, stress-free and rewarding as possible. The most reliable property consultants tend to work for independent companies so you can be sure they have no agenda but yours. The best companies can boast truly independent status, ensuring that all their property consultants are completely dedicated to serving your best interests.

Before the search begins the property consultant will meet with you to get a good understanding of your requirements and, more importantly, what would be unacceptable to you.

They will then conduct an in depth search on your behalf in your chosen area. What is more since our Premier Property consultants know the market, and have good contacts they can often get access to properties before they even reach the open market – giving you the edge on the competition.

Once the property consultants have narrowed down the search, to just a few pre-viewed properties they think you would like, then you go to view them. Estate agents on the other hand, act only for the seller and will usually bombard you with particulars of properties that may bear no relation to the property you are searching for, which is a waste of your precious time.

Once the property consultant finds a property you are interested in purchasing, then one of the most important parts of the service begins: negotiation. It is worth remembering that the average homebuyer buys a property every ten years and is up against an estate agent, who is selling property on a daily basis and working purely for the vendor - surely it’s an unfair contest? Wouldn’t it instead be reassuring to know that we, with all our property market experience, could negotiate for you?

But even once the price is agreed we won’t leave you high and dry, our property consultants will continue to work with you throughout the buying process to ensure you successfully secure your chosen property.

Therefore, if you are considering buying your dream home, it may well make sense to have a Premier Property Search consultant working with you to get you the best property for the best price. You could end up saving a considerable amount of time, as well as money.
