We have just
completed a purchase for a
client who came to us in desperation.
He had found his dream home, already had a broker and solicitor.
4 weeks after the offer was accepted the
broker had not managed to get him a
mortgage
agreed and the
agents were threatening to put his
house back on the market.
Our broker
reopened his case with the same lender and within a week
had it agreed and the survey carried out. Incidentally
his original broker had charged him £500 up front and refused to
refund.
We
had to drag his solicitor every step of the way to completion, he
wasn't in, didn't return calls, hadn't received paperwork, hadn't
sent paperwork. Everyday was a job to reassure the agents that
our client was committed to the purchase.
It
is not easy to recover a purchase in difficulty, but we got there in
the end, to the relief of everyone involved. |

Another fantastic deal

This immaculate 3 bed end of terrace for a mere £78,000,
now up for let we expect to have a tenant very soon. |

This property was purchased as a new build in 2006, the
asking price was £159,950.00,
however we managed to secure the property for
£135,957.00.
A valuation carried out in August 2008 confirmed the property was
valued at £165,000.
No doubt if house prices were not falling in this year the property
would have been worth more. Not to grumble, it is nice to know our
clients investment is moving in the right direction. |

This property was originally on the market for
£135,000,
we thought it was over priced but the vendor wouldn’t budge and our
client had to have this house (nightmare). Our offer of £125,000 was
rejected and so was our following offer for £127,500.
Confident the surveyor would not agree with this purchase price we
settled at £130,000 just to secure the property and get it taken off
market.
The surveyor backed up our theory and down valued the property.
|
|
Our client eventually purchased the property for
£125,000
(happy days). Not only did we
save £10,000
off the asking price, but because the purchase did not exceed
£125,000 we
saved a further £1,300 in stamp duty
as well. |

This end of terrace
house was purchased as an investment property. Originally on
the market for
£75,000,
we secured it for
£70,800
plus a deal with the vendor to let back the property on the day of
completion. |
|
 |
|
 |
|
This meant our client had a
paying tenant from day one,
offsetting his mortgage payments and the vendor didn’t have to move
home, everybody was happy and the property is still being let.

This new build, 3 bed detached property with garage situated in a
very nice residential estate, was on the market for
£150,000,
we managed to secure this property for...
£125,000,
including carpets and lawn. Our client did ask us if we could also
get the curtain rails chucked in but it was a step too far. |

This 3 bed property was bought in
2004 for £94,000
and repossessed by the lenders this year, we secured this for our
client for
£77,000
and it is now being let out and doing very nicely.

This property was a part exchange with a developer, on the market
for
£137,950
we secured it for
£125,000.
This is an excellent buy for its location and it is now going to be
let out |

The
tide is turning, a property we secured for a client
completing this week 4/12/08 will already have £12,700
equity in his house.
Purchased for
£73,000, the surveyor
stated that the
current market
value is £85,700. Some surveyors, usually rigid
in their procedures who would normally only value properties at
the price paid, are starting to value properties at what
they believe to be a true market value. |

This bungalow was purchased in November 2008. The
property was on the market for offers over £150,000 and
we eventually secured it for £175,000 after very
complicated and intense negotiations.
This property also came with land which was important
for our clients to use for their horses and future
business plans.
We
were not the highest offer,
but the vendor saw us as their safest option and for
that reason decided to go with us, another good reason
for using Forces Homes!!

This property was on the
market for
offers
over £80,000,
we secured this property for
£72,500.
It was being sold by a lady from Oman and was one of the
most immaculate presented properties inside I’ve ever seen.
This for the money was an excellent purchase and as you can
imagine we have a very happy client indeed. |

And finally, on the way to the Spar shop one evening to pick
up a pint a milk and a loaf of bread I spotted this little
beauty. It just came on the market that day for £75,000.
After a personal viewing and some negotiations I shook the
vendors hand and secured
the house in
1996 for £65,000.
It was let out and is
now valued at £330,000
proving the theory that property prices do double in price
every 7.2 years and have done since records began. |
|
|
|
 |
We have said it before we will say it again,
NOW
is the best time to buy just leave the negotiations to us, you won’t
be disappointed.
