Buying your property (if you want to sell a property please click here)

Whether you are an experienced buyer of property or looking to purchase for the first time, it is crucial to consider all the important factors pertaining to your prospective purchase.

The Market

It is not unheard of for some brave people to purchase property on blind instinct, either from auctions or through trusted friends. However it is our advice to have an in depth knowledge of the local market, as well as national and international trends and economic factors which may have a bearing on the housing market. The market can change from week to week, with subtle underling factors influencing the rise and fall of prices, and at Richard James we are dedicated to knowing and understanding the markets in which we specialize.

We are often asked questions like: ‘is it better to purchase a one or a two bedroom apartment as a rental investment?’, what are the implications of purchasing a shorter lease and what is the likely price for a lease extension?’, ‘what type of properties are increasing in value the most and what are our projections for the medium and long term?.

Richard James welcome all questions on property and value the opportunity of sharing our expertise, with a view to assisting our purchasers to make the right decisions and building a strong relationship that grows with mutual benefit to all parties.

The Search

Richard James aims to be a one stop agent, meaning that we can search the entire market so that a purchaser does not have to visit other agents. The benefit of this is that we act in a similar way to a buying agent in scouring the market to find a property that represents the requirements of our purchasers as well as securing a solid investment, whether the property be solely for that purpose or a home for personal occupation. Furthermore, our knowledge and experience is such that we often sell or acquire properties without them formally coming to the market, by understanding the needs of our purchasers and thinking laterally in terms of our contacts and past clientele to locate often hard to find properties.

The Process

Looking at dozens of properties is very time consuming, tiring and sometimes demoralizing. I needn’t be. We believe the process should be enjoyable and inspiring, especially if it is to be your home.

The layout, décor, size, view, natural light, locations are only a few of the factors. By understanding our purchasers’ needs and aspirations we can help to avoid wasted journeys and to provide a short list of the most suitably matched properties to any given requirements. Our ability to do this is the strongest single factor to achieving the results our purchasers are seeking.
