Hi Jordan and Lucy! Tell us a bit about your business.
We’re a husband-and-wife team based in Southeast London. The concept behind Edwards & Plumb came to us when we were living in Singapore, with many people asking us to find them secondary market homes and investment properties whilst working in the corporate sector. We found a gap in the market as most international buyers only have access to new-build or off-plan properties. In addition, we also let and manage properties of people who have already bought into the market.
How do you help people interested in buying or managing a property?
We start by understanding the objective of purchasing a property. Is it for investment? Or is it for personal use? Each transaction is very different and we work with clients to understand their priorities and needs. An example of this could be buying property for self-use – for example, a son or daughter who is studying in London. Often, we find parents who are paying extremely high rents decide that it’s more cost-effective to purchase a property and have the stability and the benefit of self-use. In the long term, this property could also turn into an investment producing a rental income. Another example could be a family wishing to relocate to the UK in the future.
In both instances, we would factor in their priorities, which may include specific locations for education, transport links, access to amenities and a safe neighbourhood. Unlike a high street estate agent, we have a vested interest in what the client purchases rather than promoting properties that don’t necessarily fit their profile.
