The Brief

Coming home!

To find a statement house for our clients who were relocated from Australia to the UK.  The area of the search was the Wiltshire/Hampshire/Berkshire boarders around the Hungerford Area.

How we helped

Overcoming the Time Zones...

Buying a house from abroad is always going to be a challenge.  Fortunately, we were on the ground and able to make the process as smooth as possible.   We would preview each house, take a video of it giving our thoughts then discuss in our regular time zone breaking calls.  This enabled us to create a short list of properties for J to visit on one of his work trips to the UK.

Our Client says

"Finding a house in a very specific area, in a wonderful setting with near-perfect attributes from the other side of the world was an unthinkable task. To do it successfully with relentless dedication and boundless empathy - not to mention a total disregard for time zones - is simply wonderful. We couldn't imagine embarking on this journey without the help of Richard, George and JMChase. We would insist to any friends even considering a move that they also benefit from their remarkable abilities. "

Richard says

"Conducting a search for an old friend is always a pleasure, buying a house that she didn't see until after exchange was another story and certainly tested the nerves! We liaised closely with T's mother and more importantly, J knows his wife well and we were all very relieved to see how thrilled she was when she finally saw it in the flesh. Thank you, J and T, for putting your faith in us. "

George says

"Our clients were an absolute joy to deal with. This was teamwork at its best. Richard and I worked very closely together. We introduced a solicitor and James Fowler from Fowler Architecture to look at potential alterations. The process was not straight forward, but with us all working together we achieved our clients aim!"
