Why Use a Property Finder in Hampshire?
Deep local insight
Finding the right home in Hampshire is about understanding the subtleties of each location, from the most desirable roads to the convenience of transport links and the character of the surrounding community. We bring clarity to your search.
Access to Off-Market Properties
Many of the best opportunities never make it to the open market. Through trusted, long-standing relationships with local agents and private contacts, we are able to identify and secure properties discreetly, thereby offering our clients exclusive access.
Experience You Can Rely On
With over 30 years’ experience in Hampshire’s property market, and as long-time residents ourselves, we understand what makes each part of Hampshire unique. From schools and amenities to rural settings and village life, we can draw on our personal experience to simplify your search.
Your Search Comes First
Searching for your perfect home is time consuming and fraught with complexities. We limit the number of clients we act for at any one time, with no conflicting briefs, to ensure the full attention your property search deserves.
Our proven property search process
Our step-by-step approach is designed to make your property search seamless, saving you time, reducing stress,
and ensuring you secure the right home on the best terms.
Clarify your goals and priorities
We work closely with you to help you define your goals, lifestyle, and priorities. This includes considering factors such as access to amenities and schools, proximity to transport links, and the need for a home office.
Shape and Refine your search strategy
Once we have a deep understanding of your search, we create a brief that is tailored to you, ensuring we find the home that aligns with your vision.
Search for Opportunities
Property searching is extremely time consuming, as a retained Buying Agent we scour the market, acting as a filter to shortlist potential opportunities.
Preview and Shortlist
We preview all opportunities to ensure you are not wasting your time viewing houses that you simply will not buy, and accompany you to your shortlisted properties to offer objective and professional advice.
Negotiation
Once an ideal property has been identified, we advocate on your behalf to negotiate the best possible terms. Working with a Buying Agent enhances your credibility as a buyer and demonstrates a commitment to purchase, making you stand out in a competitive market.
Professional Connections
Having the right team around you is essential for a smooth transaction. We can introduce you to the very best professionals from our network; tax and mortgage advisors, solicitors, surveyors, and architects, as well as an array of specialists often required post-survey.
Exchange, completion and beyond
We act as your communication anchor, the main point of contact between all parties, to oversee the transaction through to exchange of contracts and completion. This is a crucial and often overlooked part of what we do.
Upon completion, we provide support from collecting the keys and arranging meter readings, to a full personal concierge service, ensuring you settle into your new home quickly and efficiently.
Success Stories in Hampshire
Sailing into Hamble
Currently living overseas, our client approached us to assist with the search for a second home on the South Coast. As a family of experienced sailors, easy access to a yacht club and a marina was imperative.
After previewing a number of properties, we identified a modern townhouse in the village of Hamble. The location, property style and specification matched our client’s brief precisely.
Acting quickly, we presented the property to our client who agreed it was the perfect fit. Our excellent relationship with the estate agent allowed us to negotiate terms before the property had been fully exposed to the open market.
“Purchasing from overseas, it is essential to have someone with Stephen’s experience to help you navigate the home buying process. From start to finish, Stephen was always there to help and assist.
“We would highly recommend Bradbourne to any buyers looking for properties, especially if you live out of the country or at a distance from where you are looking to purchase.”
Character to Cotemporary
Our client’s decision to downsize from the large country house she had lived in for the last 15 years, moving from character to contemporary, was significant and emotional.
Multiple locations were considered from Claygate in the north of Surrey, to Haslemere in the south, and Petersfield and Winchester in Hampshire.
We previewed approximately 20 properties on our client’s behalf before uncovering an off-market property in a leafy part of St Cross, one of Winchester’s most desirable locations.
Our client is now settled and happy in her new home and we have continued to assist with referrals from our network of trusted partners.
“Without Stephen, I would never have found my house or have settled in a new area. Stephen took the anxiety out of searching, was patient and understanding and he knew exactly what would work for me.
Without hesitation working with Bradbourne was my best decision, I wouldn’t have navigated the stressful house-buying process without them.”
Discover Hampshire
Hampshire is a county that perfectly blends coastal charm, countryside tranquility, and vibrant city living.
With 240 miles of stunning coastline, if it’s enjoying long walks with the dog, paddleboarding, surfing, or sailing, Hampshire’s waterside locations such as Hamble-le-Rice, Emsworth and Lymington offer endless opportunities.
Maybe you are considering moving out of London and need easy access to transport links? A very popular destination is Winchester, where history meets modern convenience in England’s ancient capital.
If you are looking for a market town with easy access to all amenities, then Hampshire has an abundance of opportunities. Alresford is a charming and colourful Georgian town with boutique shops and a buzzing food scene. Nestled at the foot of the South Downs, Petersfield boasts both charm and connectivity, and if you dream of spending relaxing afternoons, with walks along the River Test, one of Hampshire’s world famous chalk streams, Stockbridge could be the perfect place for you.

What does a Property Finder do?
We represent you as the buyer, offering a complete end-to-end service covering every step of the buying process, saving you time, and the burden of stress involved when buying property.
How are you different from an Estate Agent?
An Estate Agent represents their client, the seller. They are skilled negotiators looking to achieve the highest possible price and most favourable terms, securing the best result for their client – not for you as the buyer.
A Buying Agent flips this dynamic. Instead of working for the seller, a Buying Agent is exclusively on your side. Our role is to secure the right property at the right price while protecting you from making costly mistakes.
Do you have access to Off-Market opportunities in Hampshire?
Yes – Estate agents frequently reach out to buying agents first, confident that we represent serious buyers with the financial resources to act quickly. For sellers who prioritise privacy, working with a buying agent can be particularly advantageous.
What type of clients do you work with?
We represent anyone who recognises the importance of having an experienced advocate on their side, someone who can save them time, protect them from costly mistakes, and open doors to opportunities others simply won’t see. Typically our clients are time poor professionals, overseas buyers and families or individuals looking to re-size.
Do you only work in Hampshire?
No – we cover the majority of the South of England, including London.
What are your fees?
We charge a one off retaining fee of £2,000, plus a success fee which is a percentage of the purchase price, payable on exchange of contacts. We are also happy to discuss a fixed fee if this is more preferable. All fees are subject to VAT.
