The Brief

First Home in London

Our clients from Texas, USA were keen to buy their daughter her first home in London. She had been living in Stoke Newington which she loved so that was an obvious place to start the search. She had also studied at Camberwell Art School so knew the areas of Peckham and East Dulwich. We also included Hackney too.

How we helped

Pre-Market competition.

It soon became clear to my clients that I needed to educate them about the high and lows of buying in London from leasehold to share of freehold to Japanese Knotweed. We decided the safest route was to buy a freehold which they could add value to overtime while also being in immaculate condition from the start.  Soames was the perfect house and thankfully we secured it for them in a best and final bid against three other parties before it came to the open market.

Our Client Says:

"We are absolutely DELIGHTED with our service from Emma and JMChase. We are residents of the USA and London is a HUGE city so it was absolutely critical for us to have an advisor to help us understand the city and narrow down the areas for consideration. We had many “starts and stops” through the process over ~9 months and Emma was so patient and resilient to help us find our dream home. Also it is a very different and complicated process to buy a home in London involving the agents, solicitors, surveyors, financial advisors, and other experts. Emma makes this process absolutely seamless and connects you to the best in the industry. We couldn’t have imagined facing this process without the expert advice from Emma. We avoided huge mistakes such as buying a home with Japanese knotweed, Freehold vs Sharehold, and other examples that would have significantly impacted the value of the homes we were considering. Buying a home is a huge investment and our advice… don’t even hesitate to hire JMChase. In addition to the expertise, buying a home is so personal and Emma spent countless hours with us to get to know us personally to find the ideal home which would suit our needs and budget expectations. She is a dear friend and continues to be a mentor and friend to our daughter who is living in the home. 5++++ STAR SERVICE! "
