Location
We often have people coming in to the office and announcing “we want to buy a property in France/Spain/USA etc” can you give us some brochures? This has to be likened to someone coming in and saying “we want to buy a property in the UK - have you got a brochure?” We need to know where to start. Ours is a small country in comparison with the others mentioned but just look how many properties we have in the UK and how many locations and designs. Does someone want to be in the middle of London, at the sea-side, miles away from anywhere, near a town, near a hospital, in a quiet place, place full of night life etc etc. It does help if you have an idea what you are looking for. Again, we will sit down and discuss location with you because it is important that if you like plenty of facilities nearby that you do not move miles away from anywhere. We can also discuss whether you will need to make a compromise because of your budget. Location can make such a difference to price. For instance if you want a front line sea view this is likely to cost your more than just being near the sea or having a distant sea view. Prices of property in popular areas are likely to be higher.
