Property Search
Searching for a property can often be frustrating and time-consuming, especially given that a home is typically the most significant investment one will ever make. It’s crucial to get the best advice and access to the largest selection of properties.
Fairmont’s Property Experts bring over three decades of experience in the property market of London,
Europe & the Middle East.
Leveraging our extensive expertise, we have built a vast network of industry contacts across various sectors. Our
reputation and connections ensure that we explore every possible avenue to find your perfect property.
Our long-standing relationships with top agents, some spanning over 30 years, are a testament to our credibility.
These agents know we represent serious buyers, often making our clients the preferred choice due to our proven
track record.
Our home buyer services have evolved to offer a fully bespoke and integrated experience for each client. The process
of searching for and purchasing a new home can be immensely exciting, and you can decide how much or how little
you wish to be involved.
Whether you are on a tight schedule or managing from a distance, we tailor our approach to fit your situation,
ensuring a smooth and efficient property search and buying experience.
Free No Obligation Consultation
The first stage is to learn about you, your requirements, and objectives. We will also explain how we work and how we
tailor our service to suit you. Then we advise on current market conditions and how your budget will perform in your
chosen areas. We can also suggest locations & options that may be suitable based on what we have learned from our
conversation.
Detailed Brief
After the consultation, we compile a detailed brief. We then know what you like and don’t like, and this is where
Fairmont Property Experts’ experience comes into its own. We know the essential factors to consider while taking your
personal, professional, and lifestyle requirements into account. We can also advise on further considerations as your
use of the property changes over time.
Property Search
At this stage, we explore all options available including on market, pre market and off-market (up to 40% of property
transactions are off market) through estate agents and our extensive network of industry contacts.
Preview and Due Diligence
We will personally visit any property we think is a potential fit and physically inspect it before adding it to the
shortlist. Our extensive experience ensures we know what to look for as there are not many problems we have not
encountered. At the same time, we also conduct due diligence on the tenure and vendor. We will also obtain detailed
price comparisons and suggest a purchase price range for each property.
Shortlist
Fairmont independent agents will then compile a shortlist of all the suitable properties we have found and report on
or discuss each one with you. Then we provide objective advice on each property. Finally, we will highlight any
potential issues, and in some instances, we may commission a Pre-Offer Survey.
Viewing
We will arrange all the appointments to view the chosen properties at your convenience. We will accompany you on
all the viewings, being on hand to offer advice on each. If you cannot attend any viewings (especially pre-market
property at short notice), we can view them on your behalf and provide you with a detailed viewing report and video
tour. Overseas clients receive the same information and videos for each property on the shortlist. We can also arrange
live video tours for overseas buyers who cannot visit the UK. At this stage, we can also commission a surveyor to
conduct a feasibility study if you intend to make structural alterations to the property.
Negotiation
Once we have found your perfect property, we conduct thorough research to establish the property’s current market
value. Our in-house systems enable us to gauge the average £/sqft in any postcode. Then, using our experience of
recent sales and in-depth local knowledge, we can determine the property’s market value. We will then discuss the
offer and acquisition strategy before entering negotiations to ensure you know what to expect at every stage of the
process.
Conveyancing
As soon as the offer is accepted, we will coordinate all services to initiate the purchase process. We liaise with the
surveyors, solicitors, finance providers, and the estate agent. We manage every stage of the process to ensure a
smooth transaction within the agreed time frame. In addition, Fairmont Property Experts’ provides regular updates on
the progress of sale.
Exchange & Completion
When the timing is critical to reduce transaction time and prevent unnecessary delays, we step in to streamline the
process. As the Exchange of Contracts approaches, we will also begin scheduling any additional services you require
and assist you in preparing for your move upon Completion.
After-Care Service
Our commitment to our clients does not stop when you receive the keys at completion. Every client of Fairmont
Property Experts will receive a free after-care service for life.
