Our client was looking to move from Borough to Notting Hill to be closer to friends and family.
We conducted the search during the height of the pandemic and there was one specific house which was quietly on the market, being shown to only a handful of the best buyers.
Every buyer who viewed requested a second viewing, but the owners became nervous of covid and decided to withdraw the property and re-launch in six months.
We knew this was the right house for our client, so we persisted and politely and respectfully requested if we could do a one-off second viewing, if a doctor carried out a covid test on us and our client on the doorstep before entering the house.
The sellers appreciated the persistence and agreed to allow a second viewing for our buyer only. We subsequently agreed the purchase.
Our strong relationships and creative thinking gave our client a buying opportunity he would not have had otherwise.
