Buying a property in London - The Daniel Cobb approach and core values
So you’ve just returned from your summer holiday in Greece, and you’re scratching your head as to why there are so many unfinished houses dotted around the countryside. These seemingly neglected shells are not building developments gone wrong, they are simply a way for Greek parents to secure a family home for their offspring. It may not be the way we’d do it here in Britain, but whether you’re in Kennington or Kefalonia, the sentiment behind these projects remains the same.
In rural Greece there’s a strong tradition for the parents of female children to lay the foundations of their daughter’s future home when she is very young. Rather than borrowing from a bank, the child’s parents will simply wait to accumulate the cash for each phase of the building work as their little girl grows up. When she is about to marry, they’ll finish the house in time to hand over the keys as a wedding present.
It’s a uniquely Greek way to acquire a family home, but any girl who receives a house in this way will know that it was built with love. We do things differently in the UK, but there’s still the same passion for a place we can call home. We pour all our efforts and energy into raising the finance for a new home: saving up, sorting out a mortgage and often getting some help from mum and dad along the way. When we’re finally ready to start buying a property we want to know that the people we entrust with the search have our best interests at heart.
That’s why Daniel Cobb commands so much respect amongst London’s homebuyers. As a family business with core values based on honesty, trust and compassion, we put our customers first, every time.
“We pride ourselves on our ability to listen,” says Mark Andrews from Daniel Cobb’s London Bridge office. “When a customer contacts us, our first concern is to discover exactly what they need. Then we offer honest, accurate and sound advice to help them through the entire home buying process.”
Following that first and vital discussion, your Daniel Cobb negotiator will put together a portfolio of properties that meet your exact requirements. You can expect an honest and open approach during property viewings, and once you’ve chosen your ideal home, your negotiator will secure the best possible deal on price, before guiding you through every stage of your purchase.
