Seven ways
we help you buy.

Use one service or all of them. Either way, you deal with one team that is on your side of the transaction, from the first conversation to the keys and beyond.

Property search & sourcing

We search on your behalf.

We turn your brief into a focused search across the open market and our network, including homes not widely advertised where they are available, and send you a considered shortlist rather than a flood of links.

  • Detailed brief: location, budget, lifestyle, timescale
  • Market and area research
  • Curated shortlists with honest notes
Viewings, in person or remote

We go so you don’t have to.

We arrange and attend viewings, film video walk-throughs for clients abroad and report back plainly: light, condition, noise, the street, the building.

  • Accompanied viewings
  • Live or recorded video tours
  • Second-look checks before you offer
Offers & negotiation

The right price, calmly.

We help you judge value, frame a strong offer and negotiate with the selling agent, keeping momentum without overpaying.

  • Comparable evidence
  • Offer strategy and terms
  • Agent liaison through to agreed sale
Guidance for overseas & Middle East buyers

Buying from abroad, made simple.

For clients in Lebanon, the Gulf and beyond, we explain how buying in the UK works, help you weigh up locations and property types for living or letting, and manage the process remotely. Property values and rents can fall as well as rise; we recommend independent tax and legal advice.

  • Location and property-type guidance
  • Remote purchase management
  • Regular, plain-English updates
Purchase management to completion

From agreed offer to keys.

Between agreeing a price and completion there is a lot to manage. We track every step, flag issues early and make sure you know exactly what is happening and what is next.

  • Clear timeline and checklists
  • Pre-completion inspection
  • Key collection on your behalf
Aftercare: lettings & management

Looked after, long after.

Once you own, we can help with what comes next: furnishing, finding tenants through trusted partners and arranging ongoing management, so the property works for you.

  • Furnishing and snagging
  • Lettings introductions
  • Management arrangements

Citizenship &
residency by investment

Through SmoothMove’s wider services we can talk you through second-citizenship and residency-by-investment programmes offered by various countries, as a general advisory service.

Buying property in the UK does not, on its own, give a right to live or work in the UK. We do not give UK immigration or visa advice; please speak to a regulated immigration adviser.
