The time it takes to find property for a client varies from case to case. For example, investors can be quicker than someone looking for their dream home. For some, it may take a week while for others a few months, but generally, we would be looking at some time between 30 days to 90 days. For more information please click here.

We will always be working in your best interests and realise that your ideas about the type of property you want may change. When we meet initially to discuss your “buyers brief”, we will work hard to ensure that your wishlist is achievable and also realistic, so the likelihood of changing your mind is reduced. However, if you change the initial brief significantly, there may be a review of the fee, and an additional fee would be charged to cover the time already spent searching. We will work with you to make sure you are completely happy with your next property purchase, even if you change your mind.
