Are you estate agents?

No. Estate agents work for and are paid by the vendor to achieve the highest price on their behalf. At Kent Home Finders, we act exclusively for buyers, always striving to find the best property and negotiate the lowest possible price on our clients’ behalf saving them both time and money.

Are you affiliated with any estate agents?

No, we are a completely independent property-finding company. This means we can trawl through hundreds of estate agents and independent vendors. We offer impartial advice and only represent your interests. This differentiates us from the so-called “buying departments” of large estate agencies. These inevitably have problems of conflicts of interest, being inclined to steer you towards a property on their sales books.

What makes you so successful at finding houses?

Estate agents and private sellers know that we represent genuine ‘hot’ buyers. This means that we invariably receive advance notice of many properties for sale before they reach the open market and before they are even openly advertised! This means that our clients are in the enviable position of being able to snap up the best property before anyone else even gets to hear about it! Our day-to-day involvement in the Kent property market also gives us an overview of current conditions in all areas and all market sectors, and of what represents good value.

Do you search for rental properties too?

Yes. We work on behalf of the tenant aiming to find them the best property available that best fits their criteria. The supply of exclusive properties at the upper end of the market is quite limited as most buy-to-let landlords invest in cheaper properties at the lower end of the market. Consequently, busy and discerning clients can often have great difficulty in finding the right rental property and therefore turn to Kent Home Finders for help.

What kind of properties do you search for?

We usually search for properties over £500,000, be they country houses, equestrian properties, farmhouses, family homes or investment properties. Whatever type of property we are looking for, our main criteria is that they are the most desirable homes within our clients’ price range.

Do you just cover Kent?

Although we concentrate mainly on Kent, we occasionally widen our search to cover the East Sussex borders.

Do you look after international clients?

Of course! Many people living abroad find our service invaluable. Moreover, by completing the detailed ‘Brief’ page on our website means that we get a good idea of the kind of property you are looking for.

When is the best time to enrol the services of Kent Home Finders?

As the property market can be very fast moving, you need to be in the strong position of being able to make a firm offer as soon as we find your perfect home. This means that once you have instructed us to search on your behalf, you need to be ready to proceed with a purchase.
