Buying with dedicated representation

Buying a property can be time-consuming, competitive and, at times, overwhelming — particularly when you’re trying to balance work, family life or tight deadlines.

My Buying Agent Service is designed for clients who want dedicated support throughout their purchase, with someone acting solely in their interests. From identifying suitable opportunities to advising, negotiating and guiding the purchase through to completion, I provide clear guidance and hands-on representation at every stage.

This service is particularly suited to buyers who value clarity, discretion and having an experienced professional managing the detail on their behalf.

Who this service is for

The Buying Agent service is suited to buyers who want dedicated representation and a more hands-on level of support throughout their purchase.

This service may be particularly helpful if you:

  • are short on time or juggling other commitments
  • are relocating or unfamiliar with the local market
  • want professional support with negotiation and decision-making
  • value having one point of contact managing the detail
  • prefer a structured and considered approach to buying
And who it may not be right for

This service is not essential for every buyer.

If you are confident navigating the buying process independently, enjoy conducting your own research and viewings, or are simply looking for general guidance rather than representation, the standard buying support outlined on the Buying a Property page may be more appropriate.

My aim is always to ensure you’re using the level of support that best fits your circumstances — not more, and not less.


What the Buying Agent service includes

The Buying Agent service is tailored to each client, but typically includes a combination of the following:

  • Understanding your brief, priorities and timescales
  • Advising on suitability, value and market conditions
  • Assisting with identifying appropriate properties where required
  • Arranging and attending viewings where appropriate
  • Providing objective advice to support decision-making
  • Advising on offer strategy and positioning
  • Negotiating on your behalf with the seller or selling agent
  • Acting as a consistent point of contact throughout the transaction
  • Providing oversight and guidance through to completion

The level of involvement is agreed upfront and can be adjusted depending on how much support you need at each stage of the purchase.


How this differs from standard buying support

Standard buying support is designed to help buyers understand the process and move forward with clarity. It provides guidance at key stages but does not involve acting on your behalf.

The Buying Agent Service is different. It is a dedicated, fee-based service where I represent you as the buyer, acting solely in your interests throughout the purchase.

This means:

  • I work proactively on your behalf, rather than reactively
  • Advice is tailored specifically to your circumstances and objectives
  • Negotiation is handled with your priorities at the forefront
  • You have consistent representation from start to finish

For buyers who want advocacy, discretion and a more involved level of support, the Buying Agent service offers clarity and continuity that standard buying guidance cannot provide.


Fees, expectations and next steps

The Buying Agent service is a professional, fee-based service, with terms agreed upfront before any work begins. This ensures clarity around the level of support being provided and allows the service to be tailored to your individual circumstances.

Before proceeding, we’ll have a detailed conversation to confirm whether this service is the right fit for you, outline how I can best support your purchase, and agree expectations on both sides.
