The brief

From London to the Hampshire countryside

Our clients started looking for a house in Central London to upsize to and with a shift in their work circumstances they chose to make the move to the Hampshire countryside. Our task was to find the right location that offered excellent countryside while not being too far from London.  The Candover Valley fitted the brief perfectly for them.

How We Helped

A sound strategy for negotiating the price

We were able to access to the house several months ahead of the open market and this gave our clients the time to take a considered approach to the purchase. We had time to formulate a sound strategy for negotiating the price and also researching the details of the planning process. Our measured approach meant that we kept the purchase proceeding despite a significantly higher offer from another buyer trying to gazump the purchase.

James says

"The best outcomes often come from a happy working relationships between us and our clients. We were proactive to secure the house and our clients listened to our advice and reacted with conviction and the decisiveness required to secure a house of this calibre in a competitive market."

Our clients say

"James had flagged to us, nearly six months in advance, that this beautiful house might be coming for sale. He got us in to see the house before other viewings began, and connected us with a pre-eminent local architect who already knew the Grade II* listed house. This enabled us to offer early and with confidence on a once-in-a-generation opportunity. James’ advice through the offer period, and his relationship with the selling agent helped us move quickly and prevail in what otherwise could have become an extremely competitive process."
