Traditionally buying property in any location can involve contacting up to eight different estate agents - more for a large city.

Estate agents will not understand your exact lifestyle requirements and will simply enter basic property details into a database and send you a variety of property within your price range.

Searching endlessly on the various Internet property search sites is no better; you just end up with a list of property. This can result in wasted time and money when viewing unsuitable properties.

Finding the right property in the right location takes a network of contacts and serious legwork.

Covering Cumbria including the Lake District National Park, Lancashire and W. Yorkshire we are able to view properties immediately. Estate agents will not wait till the weekend to show you new properties because they will have a full list of other buyers who can make immediate decisions.

Select Home Finders will meet with you at your home or a convenient location (day, evening or weekend), where we will spend time discussing what you are looking to achieve and take a comprehensive search brief. Not just the location, price band, type of property, number of bedrooms but find out how you like to live, your life style, what’s important to you. We look at schools, commuting distances and local amenities.

We look at the quality of the property chain and the vendor’s own situation - one in five property sales fail before completion due to weaknesses in the property chain. Again wasting valuable time and money.

During our search process a property may emerge that’s in the perfect location but the layout may not ‘tick all the boxes’. However, it may be below budget and offer great development potential. As experienced property developers we can offer advise on what can be achieved and provide costs to bring the property up to your requirements.

If you require two properties - for example maybe a country property and a pied a-terre in the city Select Home Finders will find both for you within your specified budget.

Clients may wish to preserve their anonymity when buying a new home for privacy or security reasons. Whatever the reason, we maintain your anonymity by being the selling point of contact. We will not divulge your personal details to any vendors or agents without your prior consent.

Estate Agents understand the buyers Select Home Finders put forward have already made a financial commitment to find a new home, so they know you are serious. It is vital for them to see you as a well-organised, committed buyer. There is no conflict of interest, Select Home Finders does not compete with Estate Agents, don’t forget Estate Agents only work for the person paying them - the seller not you the buyer. We only work for you; we compliment the service they offer by providing ‘hot buyers’. Which gives you a considerable advantage over other buyers in the property market.

Select Home Finders will then find and preview properties and come up with a short list of properties for you to view that meet your requirements. We will arrange all viewings on a date to suit you and accompany you pointing out the pros and cons and arrange second viewings. We will even arrange accommodation if you prefer to stay over night in the area.

If you want us to help with the price negotiation we will do so acting on your instructions and involve you at each stage of the negotiation process. Select Home Finders are experienced negotiators who understand the property market.

In addition to acting for private individuals, Select Home Finders prides itself on the work that it has carried out for corporate clients. Employers are obviously keen to recruit the best people, which can mean having to recruit from other parts of the UK. Starting a new job for a new company can be an anxious time, particularly when relocating to an area they are not familiar with. Potential employees may even be hesitant to accept a position because of concerns about finding the right property, commuting distances, knowledge of schools and local amenities etc. Select Home Finders will work with your HR department or direct with employees to reduce the emotional stress by providing a tax effective relocation service.

For investment purchases proposals can be accompanied by cash flow projections detailing cost and income potential.
