What UK Property Finders do
We work on the buyers' behalf to find and negotiate the most suitable property for them.
When we find the right site, we act as an on-site agent in all future dealings with the estate agents and vendors, short of the point of actually signing the purchase contract itself.
What's the difference with estate agents
Estate agents exclusively represents the seller – the seller directly mandates and pays for the sales agent. That means an estate agent is only working on behalf of the seller (not the buyer) to get them the best deal possible. So, when a client looking to buy a property in UK approaches an estate agent, they may not get the same level of service as they would expect, whilst they will match buyers to suitable properties the estate agent is acting primarily in the interest of the seller, their client.
That is where property finders such as ourselves at Selling Sunset LTD come in – a UK property finder is paid a fee by the buyer to find a suitable property, carry out due diligence, and to negotiate with the seller and their agent. We are there to act solely in your – the buyer’s – interests.
UK property finding role
A property finder’s role in acting on the buyers behalf to secure a property includes:
Offering rounded advice on locations should a client be new to the area;
Previewing potentially suitable properties, creating a shortlist for the buyer to consider;
Finding properties for sale before they go on the market through our network of industry professionals;
Securing a property at the best possible price and under the most ideal terms using our extensive experience;
Saving you the hassle of managing multiple relationships with different selling agents.
Significant numbers of discerning buyers – both from the UK and internationally – choose to use property finder services in order to reduce the amount of time they have to spend on property searches, gain exclusive access where possible and to work with selling agents on their behalf.
Having a representative working solely on the buyer’s behalf balances the estate agents role in working for the seller and can often result in a much fairer outcome for the purchaser. For more information on our property finding and agency services, please contact us today.
