Brief

Our client, a private banker, was searching for a second home in the West Country with a budget of £1–2 million. The property needed to provide a peaceful family retreat within easy reach of London, offering plenty of space to escape the city while also presenting the opportunity to create a home tailored to their lifestyle. Securing the right property in a highly competitive market required patience, careful negotiation and strategic advice.

Result

After a 20-month search, we secured an attractive country home that perfectly matched our client's aspirations. Although the property required modernisation, it offered the ideal foundation for creating a bespoke family retreat. Purchased below the guide price, the acquisition represented excellent value and gave our clients the opportunity to renovate and personalise the house while enjoying a beautiful West Country setting.

Your Unfair Advantage

The property formed part of a probate sale involving four beneficiaries based around the world, adding significant complexity to the transaction. Drawing on our experience of managing sensitive negotiations and coordinating multiple stakeholders, we successfully navigated the process while securing the property below the guide price despite strong market interest. Our ability to recognise long-term potential ensured our clients acquired a home that could be transformed into exactly what they were looking for.
