Brief

Our clients were searching for a coastal family home with a budget of £3 million when they spotted an intriguing property on Instagram. Although the home was not formally on the market, they were keen to secure it before it received wider exposure. With the property due to feature in Country Life magazine, time was critical, and swift action was essential to avoid increased competition.

Result

Within just eight days of the initial client discussions, we successfully agreed the purchase and exchanged contracts before the property reached the open market. Completion followed eight months later. Set within 12 acres of private grounds with its own steps down to the beach, the property offered exceptional privacy, with the South West Coast Path running behind the house rather than along the cliff edge. The home also presented exciting opportunities to extend and further enhance the property, creating a spectacular long-term family retreat.

Your Unfair Advantage

Acting decisively was the key to this acquisition. We engaged directly with the selling agent and secured our clients' position before they had even been able to view the property in person. By leveraging our trusted relationships, credibility and negotiation expertise, we ensured our offer stood out, enabling our clients to secure a rare off-market coastal home ahead of wider market interest.
