As property search and acquisition consultants we are retained by astute buyers to help them find, negotiate the price and buy the property of their dreams.
Finding your dream home often requires more than just a keen eye for detail; it necessitates the expertise of a seasoned property buying agent. This tale is the story of how Premier Property Search, led by Nigel Sellers, became the linchpin in securing a coveted stud farm and farmhouse, not once, but twice, through discreet, off-market transactions. This tale is a testament to the value of specialised property search and acquisition consultants in navigating the complexities of the real estate market, particularly when the quest is as unique and specific as finding an equestrian dream in the heart of The New Forest.
What makes the New Forest so special
The New Forest offers the perfect balance between serene countryside living and convenient access to city centres and coastal retreats. Situated on the southern coast of England, The New Forest is remarkably accessible to London, making it an ideal choice for those who desire a tranquil escape without sacrificing connectivity to the capital's vibrant lifestyle. The region is well-served by major road and rail links, providing efficient travel options to and from London. This accessibility allows residents to enjoy the best of both worlds: the peace and natural beauty of the countryside and coastline.
The area is popular with those who love walking, sailing and for our clients in this instance riding. Known for its vast, open heathlands, ancient woodlands, and wild ponies roaming freely makes it a picturesque backdrop for horse owners and riders. For equestrian enthusiasts, the area is nothing short of paradise, offering endless trails for riding, eventing, and leisurely hacks, allowing both horse and rider to immerse themselves in the tranquillity and beauty of the countryside.
The Initial Quest
Our adventure begins with a detailed brief from clients with a clear vision: a property in The New Forest that could harmonise their residential needs with their daughter's equestrian passions. They envisioned a home that not only provided comfort but also catered to their daughter's eventing pursuits, complete with stables, grazing land, and a ménage, spread across 10-20 acres. Flexibility in budget allowed for considerations on the quality of location, necessary refurbishments, and the specifics of the land and stables included.
The Discovery
Through diligent outreach to known selling agents in The New Forest, a fortunate call from an agent introduced us to a farmhouse that seemed to tick all the boxes: a well-maintained property requiring minimal upgrades, equipped with 12 stables, a recently refurbished 20m x 40m ménage, and approximately 18 acres of land. This property was not yet on the market, offering a unique opportunity to secure it discreetly and efficiently, away from the competitive public market.
The Acquisition
The excitement was palpable from the first viewing, leading to a swift agreement to purchase the property off-market. Our client said “whatever it takes to buy the farm, ‘just agree it’!
This acquisition was not just a transaction; it was the culmination of understanding our clients' real needs from their property and the relentless pursuit to fulfil them. The deal was agreed and transacted several weeks later without the need for the property to be openly marketed, effectively we bought this gorgeous farmhouse and stud farm ‘off-market’!
