The Lark Partnership agreed the sale of my home. I had already been on the market with another agent and was so pleased to finally agree a sale. Not wanting to risk anything with my buyer, I agreed to break the chain and move into temporary accommodation if needed, as I needed to relocate closer to family. Having not looked at homes for nearly 20 years, this was a completely new experience. I had no idea what the process involved nowadays and had overlooked costs like stamp duty and other fees involved in buying a home.

I met with the team, and we went through various websites together. I found five properties I liked, and they contacted the agents and arranged all the appointments. We started at 9am, and I was chauffeured around, everything wrapped up by 2pm! I didn’t find my ideal home on that trip, but it really helped me clarify what I did and didn’t want.

A few weeks later, The Lark Partnership reached out with details of a property that wasn’t even on the market. They had approached the owners directly in a village I had really liked during my earlier viewing trip with Luan, and they arranged a private viewing of this property. It was perfect, exactly what I wanted and in the right location. The sellers wouldn’t be able to move for another six months due to schooling, but I have now arranged to move in with my family and store my belongings for a couple of months between my sale and purchase. The team handled all the negotiations, ensuring everything fitted around my chain and timing, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!

I’ve never had a viewers’ agent attend a viewing before, but it made a real difference. The Lark Partnership knew the seller’s property inside out and could give real insight into how it could be adapted for this buyer, including potential conversion of a conservatory into a proper extension. They even organised a builder to come and provide advice and costings, and I could explain to my seller why that visit was happening. It was reassuring for them to see the buyer had done their homework before making an offer.

Everything was provided upfront including the ID, proof of funds, conveyancer details, and the chain information. With the property vacant and the client living abroad, this level of preparation and clarity helped us get the deal done quickly and smoothly.

The Lark Partnership agreed the sale of my family home. I was downsizing after buying the property with my elderly parents back in 2010, and this was my first time buying a home on my own. It felt like such a big decision. You miss that second pair of eyes and reassuring confidence you get when buying with someone else.

After my sale was agreed, I found a property in the perfect location and asked The Lark Partnership to view it with me. On reflection, it wasn’t right — too costly to make it work — and talking it through with them helped me come to that conclusion with a realistic perspective. They made me realise that the cost, stress, and disruption of undertaking all that work just wasn’t practical for my situation.

A few weeks later, Luan sent me details of another property listed with another agent, just outside the area that I had been focusing on. I viewed it, loved it, and brought Luan to my second viewing. She asked all the right questions about the seller’s position and timings with the agent showing us around. Before negotiations began, we had a discussion, so she knew the maximum I was willing to spend for this property.

I’ve never negotiated on a home myself, so to have The Lark Partnership handle it all was incredible. After a couple of days of negotiations, I simply got the call: ‘you’ve secured it for ‘£X, Congratulations!’

I engaged The Lark Partnership to sell my house, and they were quick to secure a buyer. I hadn’t viewed any properties prior to selling and so I started the long job of trawling through websites and Rightmove! However, finding my next home was not as easy as I thought it would be! I wasn’t sure of my preferred area nor which type of house I was looking for. I could see this was going to be the more stressful side of moving.

While chatting with the team, they told me about the service they offer in searching for a suitable property on their client’s behalf. It was such a turning point for me. I gave them my wish list and a few properties I thought I could be interested in, and they did the rest! Most of the properties were on the market with other agents but they made appointments on my behalf and accompanied me on the viewings. Their knowledge of the market and what I should be looking out for when viewing really helped to narrow the search.

When I did find the right property, The Lark Partnership negotiated on my behalf, taking the stress away from me, and we secured a purchase at a great price! I could not recommend them highly enough.
