The Perfect Second Home

The brief

Garrington was instructed to source a substantial, family-oriented holiday home along the coast. While the client was not in a rush, their priority was to find the perfect second home that would serve as both a long-term investment and a cherished retreat for family gatherings.

The search

The ideal property needed to offer a long-term investment potential, stunning sea views, proximity to sandy beaches, and adequate bedrooms and entertaining space to accommodate the family’s needs. Given the extensive search area, Garrington maintained regular communication with local agents and key industry professionals to ensure no suitable opportunities were overlooked.

Several properties were considered, but none fully met the client’s criteria. However, through one of Garrington’s established contacts, an opportunity arose, a modern coastal property that was not yet on the market.

While the vendor had plans to sell, their timeline remained uncertain due to personal priorities. Recognising the unique opportunity, the client was immediately drawn to the property and instructed Garrington to secure it on their behalf.

The negotiation

Garrington carefully assessed the vendor’s circumstances and identified a key leverage point: a cash offer with a swift, uncomplicated transaction would be highly appealing.

The initial offer was declined, but through persistent and strategic negotiation, Garrington successfully secured the property at an agreed-upon price, which also included fixtures, fittings, and furniture, offering a seamless, move-in-ready solution for the client.

Value delivered

The purchase was secured without competition from other buyers, giving the client exclusivity in negotiations. By incorporating fixtures, fittings, and furniture within the purchase price, the client acquired a fully furnished holiday home, ready for immediate enjoyment.

Through expert market knowledge, strong industry relationships, and skilled negotiation, Garrington successfully delivered an exceptional second home that perfectly aligned with the client’s aspirations.
