Our client, a busy professional in the tech industry and originally from the US sought assistance in purchasing a long term home in the UK. Living in rented accommodation in Battersea, they identified Reigate and Redhill in Surrey as the ideal location, drawn by the area’s charm, green spaces, and excellent connectivity to London.
Our client was clear about requirements for their new home:
Turnkey Condition: Minimal renovation needs aside from decoration.
Natural Light & Open-Plan Living: A bright, airy space with a modern layout.
Convenience: Walking distance to local amenities, green spaces, and a train station with direct links to Waterloo.
Work-from-Home: Dedicated space to comfortably work remotely.
Property Type: Open to styles and age as long as the location was private and quiet.
How we helped
Understanding our client’s lifestyle and needs, we curated a selection of eight properties across both locations that matched their criteria, showcasing a variety of styles and features.
We provided detailed reports for each property. After reviewing our findings and further discussion we agreed to concentrate the search on Reigate and proceeded to accompany our client to four properties that were potentially suitable, highlighting the negatives as well as the positives of each home.
During these viewings, one stunning character property clearly stood out, offering a harmonious blend of charm and modernity.
We quickly moved to secure the property, helping our client negotiate favourable terms, with the saving comfortably covering our fee. In the weeks ahead we proceeded to provide guidance and support to facilitate a smooth transaction by;
Connecting our client with a trusted property solicitor and chartered surveyor.

We conducted thorough checks, confirming the inventory of agreed chattels and additional items remained in the property.
