A
growing trend in the commercial property market has been towards
period property and larger 'status' houses with a market value
of £1m upwards. The type of purchaser that is interested
in properties of this nature care just as much for the history
and heritage behind the bricks and mortar as for the layout,
aspect and grounds. Recent media coverage (Sunday Telegraph,
Sunday Times) has drawn attention to the growing trend amongst
homebuyers to associate heritage with quality, who see themselves
as 'custodians' of the property and are therefore keen to
understand more about the history of their new house. There
is a pressure on the sales agent to reflect the history of
the property in the market literature, and in many cases the
means of obtaining such information - and interpreting it
correctly - is time-consuming and difficult to the non-specialist
researcher or consultant.
House
Detectives offers a unique service to assist estate agents
and auctioneers raise the value of properties of this nature.
We offer a sliding scale of prices, which reflect the price
of the property.
