We’ll start with a conversation about your child’s move to Bath: when they’re arriving, your budget, the kind of home they need and what matters most to your family.

You don’t need to have decided between renting and buying. We can discuss the practical considerations and identify where you need help.

Together, we’ll agree what you’d like me to help with.

This might be local assistance assessing rental properties, or a more extensive search and buying service.

Before work begins, you’ll receive a clear outline of the service, fees and payment stages. We’ll also explain any documents needed to get started.

I’ll help you look beyond property listings and consider how each home could work for your child.

If you’re renting: support can include viewing agreed properties, sharing photographs and observations, and highlighting questions to raise with the letting agent.

If you’re buying: I’ll search against your agreed requirements, shortlist suitable properties and attend viewings, sharing local context and practical feedback.

You’ll have a clearer picture of your options before deciding how to proceed.

Once you’ve found a property you’d like to pursue, I’ll help with the next steps within our agreed service.

For a rental: this may include liaising with the letting agent, helping you understand their application requirements and following up on outstanding questions.

For a purchase: with your approval, I’ll negotiate the offer and coordinate with your estate agent, solicitor, surveyor and mortgage broker where needed.

Legal, survey, tax and financial advice will come from the relevant qualified professionals.

We’ll plan the practical help you need before your child moves in.

Depending on your package, this may include coordinating cleaning, furniture deliveries, keys or other agreed preparations. For purchased homes, additional support may include arranging decoration or other works.

We’ll confirm what’s included and agree any additional costs before making arrangements.
