Retained Search

In a competitive market where there is a severe shortage of properties available it is essential to give yourself every possible advantage. Napier Watt can provide the head start and, the inside information you need to make an informed decision saving you valuable time, money and needless stress.

The purchase of any Central London Property is a substantial financial commitment and we understand this. The majority of our clients come from overseas and, with only a few short days to familiarise themselves with the property market, they require the best advice possible in order to enable them to make the right decision. Working with Napier Watt can provide the peace of mind that comes from dealing with professionals that have been involved in literally 1,000’s of transactions within Central London. In addition we can provide examples of where our advice has made some clients millions of pounds, whilst saving others hundreds of thousands of pounds.

With over 300 hundred estate agents handling over 4000 properties, throughout 12 London Boroughs, establishing which area is best suited, arranging and co-ordinating viewings can be very time consuming and frustrating.

IT’S ALL ABOUT WHO YOU KNOW

As agents ourselves we are ideally placed to find you the perfect home. We have spent 30 years building relationships with some of London’s most successful property professionals. As agents and property finders, on rare occasions a buyer may decide to purchase a property that NW are directly marketing. On these unusual occasions NW will not take a fee from the buyer and our interest in the sale will be fully disclosed to all parties and any deposit will be returned in full upon completion.

SO WHO WOULD BENEFIT FROM USING OUR SERVICES?

Our clients are generally come from overseas and are typically referred by private banks, wealth management departments or previously satisfied customers. Whether they are looking for their first UK property or additions to existing portfolios, we can provide a comprehensive and tailored package to make the purchase hassle-free and enjoyable.

WHY USE A PROPERTY FINDER ?

The distances between properties may be considerable and a thorough search can take weeks, if not months. Much of your time can be wasted making journeys to look at apartments or houses which look great in a photograph but turn out to be wholly unsuitable. The demand for good quality apartments and houses often outstrips supply in central London and prime London and country homes can be sold long before they are advertised in a magazine or on a website, so there is a high chance the ideal property for you is not being openly marketed, and never will be.

SO WHY NAPIER WATT?

With so many property finders why choose NW? Our expert knowledge, extensive market experience and dedication to personal service make us one of London’s preferred property specialists. We are a discreet, bespoke consultancy who pride ourselves on building strong, trusted and lasting relationships with our clients. We endeavour to source the finest properties on the most favourable terms on behalf of our clients.

Finally, and most importantly, I would suggest that you call us on +44(0)2079350011 to have an initial conversation to see how we can help you source your perfect property

SO HOW DOES IT WORK?

Initial Discussion

We will meet with you or carry out an extensive telephone interview in order to build a real understanding of your overall aims and objectives. We will advise you on current market conditions and can suggest areas to maximise your budget. We will always be realistic in what is possible and what is not.

Research

Armed with your brief, we then set about identifying the best property, often before it is available on the open market. If you are interested in a specific building or area we would be happy to proactively and directly approach the owners of those properties on your behalf. We have previous had experience where clients have expressed interest in a particular block and we have been able to negotiate the sale of an off market property at a substantial discount. We speak to all the relevant estate agents, developers and our own private contacts and leave no stone unturned in the search process. We preview and shortlist suitable properties – this saves you valuable time as we will only show you properties that we have first pre-viewed on your behalf and that meet with all of your requirements.

Property Tour

We accompany you on viewings to show you the shortlisted properties. During the property tours we will advise you on the local area and amenities and pricing. Once a suitable property has been identified, we provide you with an objective overview of the property and pricing so that you are equipped with the knowledge to make an informed buying decision.

Negotiation

We use expert negotiating skills to secure the right property at the best possible price and on the most favourable terms. We are able to introduce structural and leasehold enfranchisement surveyors and valuers and conduct any re-negotiations, if required, as a result of adverse findings within the survey or valuation.
