Who We Are

In the UK, while estate agents work on behalf of vendors, traditionally buyers had no one to ‘fight their corner’, we are transforming the property buying process for buyers, our negotiation is on the behalf of our clients and with their best interest at heart, we look for the best deals theut would suit their needs and pockets
Whereas an estate agent will only show you the properties they themselves have for sale, will scour the whole market for suitable properties and provide exclusive access to homes which are not for sale.

Secondly, estate agents will want to paint the best possible picture of clients’ properties and may be tempted to arrange viewings for homes that do not meet your brief, we work exclusively for you, so we give an honest, unbiased opinion, and will only shortlist homes that fulfil all your specifications and if we cannot find anything which fulfils your brief, we persuade sellers on your behalf to sell and we will negotiate to ensure you pay the lowest price possible.

Here are ten reasons to use us as your buying agent:

  • Access to ‘off-market’ property which is not available on Rightmove or other property search engines.
  • Ability to get Clients into popular properties before everyone else, giving the Client longer to think about it and first refusal.
  • Some Buying Agents, Manse & Garret being one, will take a brief from the Client and will find a property which is ideal for the Client rather than shoe-horning the Client into whatever is available through Estate Agents at the time.
  • Excellent market knowledge, including the latest prices achieved in the area including sold prices of properties which are not commonly available because of the way in which they have been bought and on sales which have exchanged but not completed.
  • Fees will usually be less than the savings negotiated by the Buying Agent.
  • Access to repossessions, especially at the top end of the market where distress sales are sold discretely.
  • Viewings at a time to suit you
  • Only seeing properties which fit the brief exactly and often seeing all properties in one day.
  • One point of contact although property sources will typically include lots of Estate Agents and many other contacts.
  • The Buying Agents will negotiate the property purchase if required and handle as much of the conveyancing process as possible and will be able to suggest, good lawyers, interior designers, builders etc.
