The Brief

Escape the city

Our clients were keen to move out of London and move to the countryside between Salisbury and Shaftesbury. Both husband and wife were not anticipating having to work in London more than a couple of days a week.  They were after a 4/5 bedroom house with a nice sized garden and a view.  Their budget was up to £1.8m.

How we helped

What they bought

After exploring the area west of Salisbury they liked the idea of the Tisbury patch.  Part of our role is to challenge our clients’ brief and we suggested they see a house between Winchester and Salisbury.  We believed we could negotiate on the guide price as the house had been on the market for a few months.  The house needed someone to have some vision and with the help of a local architect and builder we established the likely renovation costs.  A fair price was successfully negotiated taking into account the time on the market and the likely renovation spend.

George says

"I always liked the house and was delighted that Max and Rebecca shared the same vision. Already they have made changes that have hugely enhanced the value of house!"

The client says

"With 3 children and both of us with full time jobs, having George on the ground proved invaluable, both with the search and negotiating the purchase. We ended up buying a house that we love, which we may have never viewed without George."
