What does it really take to find the right property in the Cotswolds, and is your dream home always the right investment?
In this episode of Property Considered, hosts Chris Jarrett, Director of Jackson-Stops Cheltenham, and Olly McGowan, founder of Ormont Partners, are joined by Hannah Edge, founder of Cotswold Property Finder, to explore the world of buying agents and what happens behind the scenes when searching for the perfect home.
Drawing on her experience as a chartered surveyor, estate agent and buying agent, Hannah explains why understanding a buyer's lifestyle is just as important as their property wishlist, how off-market opportunities are found, and why the most attractive house isn't always the best purchase.
The conversation covers the realities of moving to the Cotswolds, the importance of local knowledge, property negotiations, renovation costs and the value of having an experienced professional representing the buyer.
Hannah also shares stories from her career, including unusual client requests, dream homes that didn't quite meet expectations and why being the highest bidder doesn't always mean securing the property.
Whether you're buying your first home, relocating to the Cotswolds or considering using a buying agent, this episode offers practical advice and an insider's perspective on making better property decisions.
