Buying your first home or moving to a new one is an exciting time but can also be rather daunting and unnerving. Charming as they are, estate agents work for the seller, not the buyer and while most are honest professionals making a living, they are under pressure to get the best price from you and make a sale. Wouldn’t it be nice to have someone knowledgeable, experienced and qualified on your side, involved in the selection process and steering you through the process? I was an estate agent for over 33 years, I know the business from the inside out and know what to look for and what to ask. You pay a solicitor £1000s to do the legal work but they never see what you are buying. You pay a surveyor £100s as part of your mortgage application to make sure the property is sound, but they act on behalf of the building society. I act for YOU. Over time, this idea came about by the number of friends and relatives I have helped either find the right property or steered away from the wrong one. I was an estate agent for 33 years until 2017. You name it I’ve done it. I have passed CeMAP (Certificate in mortgage advice and practice….im not a mortgage advisor though) and NAEA Technical Award (one of the few professional qualifications available to estate agents)
The depth of service and knowledge I can offer will depend upon the area and I won't take on a task I don’t feel I can fully commit to.
