Property Aunty is a bespoke property search service designed for clients who are looking to buy property in London but live abroad. Whether your child is starting university in London, or your family is relocating for a new job, we understand how challenging it can be to find the right property from abroad. With the benefit of local knowledge and the added value of having an architect guide you in your search, Property Aunty bridges the distance to help you find the perfect property, aiming to make the process as seamless and stress-free as possible.
How can Property Aunty help?
1. Personalised Property Search:
We take the time to really get to know what you need in a home. Whether you’re searching for a family home, a flat close to a university, or a convenient location for a new job, we’ll tailor the property search to suit your unique requirements and budget. With our local knowledge we can suggest areas you may not even have considered yet, helping you find that perfect spot for you in London. For clients based abroad, we will handle all aspects of the search locally in London, personally visiting each property, taking detailed photos and videos, and providing you with an honest and thorough evaluation of each home. We will look at things like neighbourhood amenities, transport links and the suitability of the property for your family’s needs, giving you a full picture of what each property offers. We will guide you through the practicalities of buying property in the UK, including the legal requirements, helping you find trusted professionals like solicitors, and advising on surveys and inspections. This ensures that you are fully informed and can make confident decisions, even from abroad.
2. Architectural Expertise:
What sets our service apart is that we do not just find property – we are also architects. This means when we view properties on your behalf, a professional eye is brought to the table. The assessment of the potential of each property looks beyond just the surface. Whether it’s a home with an incredible layout but in need of a little work, or a place with hidden potential, we can provide insight that you just can’t get from a standard property agent. This architectural insight gives you a significant advantage—allowing you to see the potential of a property that might not immediately stand out to a regular buyer. It also ensures that you’re fully informed about what a property is really feels like, which is especially important when you can’t be there in person.
3. Refurbishment Assistance:
If the property requires refurbishment before moving in, Hatterwan Architects can help with getting permissions, designing, and overseeing the renovation process. Clients can rest assured knowing that work on their new home will be done by professionals, working to their particular requirements. This service is especially beneficial for clients who are not familiar with local contractors, construction methods, and building regulations in the UK.
4. Property Management:
For those who need ongoing support after the purchase, property management services are available. Whether the client needs help with general maintenance, or managing day-to-day tasks, we can be the trusted point of contact to ensure the property is well-maintained.
