How to be seen as the best Buyer

Before you start looking, and risk wasting time or losing the property you love to another buyer, speak to London Property Match for advice on how to be the best buyer with the best chance of having your offer accepted.

Knowing what you really ‘need‘ compared to what you would ‘like‘ will save you time and disappointment when searching for a home. Being prepared and having everything you need to put your offer forward with the supporting evidence that you have your finance, legals and commitments in place matters. London Property Match can best advice you.

Property Search Brief We will help you put together your initial Search Brief. This will illustrate what you hope to find and help you identify the compromises you may need to make, so you can concentrate on the right type of properties in the first place.

We live locally and as such have a deep, extensive and personal knowledge of residential London. We will help you pinpoint early what may work for you, often down to just a few streets or being able to suggest a different area that provides a better fit for your criteria and budget.

Advise & Guide We will share advice and guidance on market conditions and advise on possible options within the budget you want to work within. Guiding you regarding potential areas and amenities, size and styles of properties will help you find the right property and save time looking.

Paperwork Preparation For a purchase, it is important to exchange contracts quickly. At exchange, the purchase becomes legally binding between you and the seller. Until this point either party can pull out of the transaction. You could also be “gazumped” by another buyer. We will help you avoid this by guiding you to organise all the paperwork and supporting documents upfront, so you are ready the moment they are needed. We can also guide you on basic costs, associated with buying, to ensure you are prepared.

Financial & Legal Preparation We can recommend independent financial advisors if you haven’t already investigated your finance or want a second opinion. We can also recommend and organise quotes from solicitors that we have used and trusted for years. People who will openly and easily communicate to you throughout the process. We will guide you through the information and monies they will require up-front.

Follow-up Session We can provide a follow-up session that will occur after your first group of viewings, in order to discuss what you liked and did not like, share tips and advice on what to look out for with your updates considered, and help you refine your Search Brief further so that you use your time well and focus on the best options. It is also an opportunity to double check you have all your paperwork together ready for when you find the right property.

Finding your ideal property is only half the battle. Securing it is the other half. If you think you may like London Property Match to help with the rest of the process, get in contact and we will deduct what you have already paid off the Full Property Search fee.
