Property Services
At Garrington, we don’t just help clients find and secure the right property, we also provide a range of complementary services designed to support every aspect of their property journey. Our consultants live and work locally, combining first-hand knowledge with professional expertise to deliver impartial advice where it matters most.
Clients come to us at different stages. Some are right at the beginning and want guidance on where to focus, while others already have a shortlist and simply need reassurance before moving forward. Whatever the stage, Garrington ensures their decisions are well-informed and confidently made.
If you are interested in any of our other services, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Back to servicesOverseeing a sale
In many instances a property search is dependent on our clients being able to sell their existing property. This can often lead to frustrations as issues related to a sale can impede the progress of a purchase.
Of all of our additional property services this is the one we most frequently bolt on to a property search. In doing so we are able to help ensure the smooth progress of the sale as well as be certain that our clients have achieved the best price for their existing property.
We will help select the right selling agent for the property, ensure the selling price reflects the current market conditions and then oversee the process for you.
This includes meeting potential buyers and making sure that any offers are researched to ensure that your chosen buyer is in the best possible position.
Perhaps most important of all in this property service is the close attention we pay to the conveyancing process to ensure that communication remains clear between all parties and that any issues that arise are addressed swiftly and professionally on your behalf.
How can we assist you?Negotiation only
In some instances clients come to us having identified the property they want to buy but they are uncertain as to the best way to go about securing it.
As part of this property service we would immediately view the property and carry out due diligence in order to establish its value in the current market.
Once that is done we would discuss the possible routes for the negotiation and the likely outcomes of each. Once we have agreed on the next steps we would, as always, handle all negotiations on your behalf.
All offers are submitted in writing and, where necessary, accompanied by documentation to support our client’s chosen negotiation strategy and to illustrate their readiness to proceed.
This property service also includes our involvement in the conveyancing process to ensure things go to plan.
How can we assist you?Introduction only
Whilst we generally work for retained clients, some of our property services are designed to be more flexible in order that we can accommodate the needs of those who would simply like us to keep an eye out for something particular on their behalf.
In this case we can offer an introduction only service whereby we are able to pass information on relevant properties to our client as and when we become aware of them.
How can we assist you?Previewing service
With the growth in the number of international buyers and investors in the market, we began to realise that there was a demand for us to broaden our property services offering to include a simple service that enables us to preview a property on a client’s behalf.
That way, as their trusted advisor, we are able to give detailed feedback to them without wasting resources on travelling to view unsuitable properties or committing to a full search service with us.
We have found this increasingly popular with those potential buyers who are time poor but happy to handle other elements of the search themselves.
How can we assist you?Area orientation
Every area orientation tour exercise is tailored to your brief. We introduce you to locations that align with your requirements, setting out practical information such as property types, accessibility, education options, and local services. This structured approach helps you build a clear picture of how each area may or may not meet your needs.
Some people like to have the orientation tour with us prior to committing to a full search.
How can we assist you?Area consultancy
For clients who have narrowed their search to a particular part of the East Midlands, our consultancy service provides impartial analysis to refine choices further. We assess factors that are most important to you, such as transport connections, community facilities, and long-term outlook, presenting our research virtually back to you. Our aim is to provide a balanced view that allows you to focus your next step on the places most suitable.
How can we assist you?Property vetting
When a property of interest has been found, we can provide an objective assessment on the property, measured against your brief. This includes undertaking due diligence; reviewing the condition, comparing price against relevant sales evidence, and highlighting any issues that might affect value or suitability. Clients often find this stage invaluable in avoiding costly mistakes.
