• Buying a home in Bath for your child?

    Buying from overseas means making important decisions at a distance.

    I’m here to view properties, ask questions and coordinate the practical steps locally — helping you choose with a clearer understanding of the home you’re buying.

  • A home for them.

    A property for your family.

    If your child will be studying in Bath for several years, you may be considering buying rather than renting.

    The right choice depends on your circumstances, the costs involved and your plans beyond university. Buying deserves careful consideration, without assuming that it will be cheaper or more suitable than renting.

    We’ll look at two questions together:

    Would this be a suitable home for your child?

    Does owning this property fit your family’s longer-term plans?

    PURCHASE COORDINATION

    I keep in touch with the professionals involved and help follow up on the practical steps as your purchase progresses.

  • Think beyond graduation

    Your child’s university years are the starting point, but it helps to consider what might happen afterwards.

  • Sell the Property.

    Consider how a future sale would fit your plans, allowing for selling costs and changing market conditions.

    Keep it & let it.

    Explore whether the property could suit future tenants, taking account of management, maintenance and any applicable requirements.

    Use it for another family member

    A younger sibling or another family member may have a future use for the home.

  • Your plans may change. Thinking ahead helps us ask useful questions before you commit.

  • Personal support - Clear arrangements.

    You’ll deal directly with me throughout our work together.

    Before the search begins, we’ll agree your requirements, the scope of my support, fees and payment stages. You’ll know what I’m handling and where other professionals need to be involved.

    If I have concerns about a property, I’ll explain them. My role is to help you make an informed decision for your family.

    A PERSONAL NOTE

    I'm a property professional.

    But I'm a mum too.

    If one of my boys were moving thousands of miles away, I'd want to know where he was living. I'd want him to feel safe and settled — and I'd want someone locally who understood that.


    So when I view a property for an overseas family, I'm not only thinking about value, location and future potential.

    I'm also asking myself:

    Would I be happy for my own child to live here?

    If the answer isn't yes, I think that's something you should know.
