What to Expect When Buying a House Through a Buying Agent

Buying a home can be a stressful process. But after a few house moves, you may think that you’ve got to grips with the process and could manage to buy a house without the help of a buying agent. But we have often been told that no matter how many moves you have done, there are some things that are best left to the experts. Here at Relocate to Cornwall, we specialise in making the house moving process as stress-free as possible.

There are many reasons to turn to a buying agent when it comes to a big move such as relocating county. Throughout the course of this blog, we will list a few things you should expect when using a buying agent to get your dream home!

The benefits of using a buying agent for your house move

With an established reputation in the Cornish property market, we are able to use our extensive collection of contacts to find our clients the house of their dreams. This is just a small part of the benefits you reap from using a buying agent. In fact, there are several things you should expect from your buying agent, including:

Access to off-market properties
You should expect your buying agent to give you access to off-market properties, the likes of which you wouldn’t have previously seen on property portals. Here at Relocate to Cornwall, we have an established reputation within the Cornish property market, paired with our extensive local knowledge, meaning we are able to do just that.

Intermediary support for family buyers

When it comes to trying to agree on a property as a family, we understand the sort of discussions that may arise as a result. A buying agent can act as a intermediary to help you get to the bottom of what it is that you are all looking for and establish a solution that favours everyone. By mediating the process, the buying agent can offer impartial advice and listen to your wants and needs.

Local Contacts
It shouldn’t be underestimated the power of having good contacts to aid the process of a smooth transaction. To be able to move quickly in the current highly competitive market, a client needs to have the best contacts in order to secure the desired property. Whether that be solicitors, surveyors, mining engineers, architects, builders or mortgage advisors, all these contacts are important to be able to turn to in an instance if needed.

At Relocate to Cornwall, we have built a trusted network of contacts who are professional and reliable.

Take the stress of time-consuming activities off your hands

The very least you should expect from your buying agent is for them to make the process of buying a home smoother and less time-consuming. Instead of being bombarded with calls from estate agents and struggling to fit house viewings into your schedule, when you come to Relocate to Cornwall, we do this all for you. Communication with estate agents and house viewings are features included in all of our services.

Comprehensive reports of prospective properties

One of the greatest benefits of trusting a buying agent with your move is the fact that they’re experts in their fields. For example, you will receive a comprehensive report which will detail everything you need to know about that particular property. It should also include a selection of photos, especially ones not provided in the marketing packages, to help you visualise the house. Whether you’ve taken up the partial or bespoke package with us here at Relocate to Cornwall, you will receive a comprehensive report on any homes you would like to put an offer in.
