FAQs
Take a look at some frequently asked questions about property acquisition services,
What does a property acquisition broker do?
A property acquisition broker is a professional who helps clients identify, evaluate, and secure real estate properties, typically for investment or development purposes. They act as intermediaries between buyers and sellers, ensuring smooth transactions and favorable terms for their clients.
- Market Research: Identifying opportunities based on client needs and market trends.
- Property Sourcing: Accessing off-market and on-market deals.
- Due Diligence: Analysing property conditions, legal considerations, and investment potential.
- Negotiation: Securing the best terms and prices for the property.
- Transaction Management: Coordinating the buying process from start to finish, including contracts and legal requirements.
Do you work with overseas clients looking to invest in UK property?
Yes, we work with clients from around the globe, including family offices, investment funds, and individuals seeking UK property investments.
We collaborate with tax advisors and brokers to deliver a comprehensive, end-to-end service, ensuring a smooth process from property selection to final purchase.
Is a property broker the same as a property buying agent?
Not quite. Although both positions support clients in real estate dealings, their responsibilities and areas of expertise are distinct:
Property Broker:
Acts as an intermediary between buyers and sellers, facilitating property transactions.
Works on behalf of either party, helping negotiate deals, manage contracts, and close transactions.
Typically has a broader role in the market and may not exclusively represent buyers.
Key Difference:
A property broker represents both sides of the transaction, while a property buying agent exclusively advocates for the buyer's interests.
Which areas of the UK do you cover?
Our services extend throughout the UK, ensuring comprehensive coverage in every region.
As property consultants, we dedicate ourselves to thoroughly grasping your objectives and preferences. With this insight, we pinpoint and suggest the best locations and areas tailored to your investment goals.
Can you guarantee confidentiality?
We follow rigorous privacy standards, ensuring all client data is handled with the highest level of care. Confidential information is securely stored and only shared with authorised individuals directly involved in the transaction.
We willingly sign NDAs to formalise our dedication to safeguarding your information and maintaining confidentiality.
- We use secure communication channels for all correspondence.
- We limit the sharing of information to third parties, ensuring it is only done when absolutely required for the transaction.
- Professional confidentiality standards are rigorously maintained.
When and how does a property broker get paid?
The payment terms depend on the arrangement:
- When the broker is retained by the seller, the fee is generally paid by the seller once the transaction is finalised.
- Should a buyer's fee be necessary, it is due upon the exchange of contracts, as explicitly stated in the engagement terms.
How is the fee structured?
The fee structure is clearly outlined at the initial introduction of a site to the investor. It details whether the broker's services are engaged by the seller or if the buyer is responsible for any fees.
Do you only source off-market properties?
Do you specialise in off-market properties?
Yes, off-market opportunities are at the heart of our business. We specialise in sourcing exclusive deals that are not publicly listed, providing our clients with unique and often highly competitive investment options.
Do you also handle on-market properties?
Certainly. Although our main focus is on off-market properties, we also have access to on-market opportunities that might suit our clients' needs and investment objectives.
How do you decide between off-market and on-market options for a client?
We customise our advice according to your particular needs and objectives, offering the most suitable opportunities—be they off-market or on-market—to ensure you achieve the best possible results.
