Claremonts Property maintains enduring relationships with estate agents who frequently provide priority information, recognizing the efficiency we bring to the home buying process. They understand that property finders exclusively cater to committed purchasers.
​
Our property finders personally visit and assess suitable properties, providing detailed reports to the client. In many cases, we arrange virtual video tours before the client's in-person viewing.
​
Following this stage, a curated shortlist of suitable homes is compiled, accompanied by recommendations for virtual or in-person viewings, as per the client's preferences.
​
Our property finders diligently join clients during all property viewings, offering insights into both the drawbacks and merits of each residence.

Adapting to evolving priorities or shifting area preferences, Claremonts ensures a thorough exploration to unearth the ideal property. We recommend in-person viewings only when a property aligns with the client's requirements.

By conducting research and previews on behalf of the client, this process serves as a time-saving measure, preventing unnecessary visits to homes that are ultimately unsuitable and thereby conserving valuable time and effort.
Finding the perfect property
Due diligence
When a client expresses interest in securing a specific property, their property finder initiates meticulous due diligence, encompassing tasks such as:
​
-
Assessing comparable sales figures for properties in the vicinity
-
Examining comprehensive local market data
-
Investigating the area, taking into account any forthcoming local plans that could impact the property
-
Gathering information on queries that might influence the price
-
Understanding the context of the property sale and the motivations of the seller
​
Adopting a pragmatic and objective stance, if deemed necessary, the property finder may advise the client against pursuing a particular property if adverse findings emerge during this investigative process.
Based on the insights gained from their research, Claremonts will delineate the most suitable negotiation strategy, aligning it with the known facts about the property, the seller, and any competing parties.
​
Following a thorough discussion of the proposed negotiation tactics with the client, we proceed to negotiate either with the selling agent or directly with the vendor, depending on how the property has been sourced.
​
In scenarios where the vendor faces multiple bids, Claremonts established relationships and sterling reputation can wield influence, occasionally proving pivotal in tilting the scales in favor of our clients.
​
Claremonts paramount goal is to ensure that every client enters negotiations well-informed and equipped with a robust strategy, facilitating the pursuit of the best possible outcome.
