Did you know that 10% of homes are sold ‘off market’?

Mortlock & Joyce can help you search for the hidden 99% of properties.

One in four movers stay within of a mile of where they currently live, and the best homes are rarely available.
 
Arnel & Edita are both nurses, having lived in their current two-bedroom cottage for 18 years, they wanted to upsize to a three-bedroom, end-of-terraced house. What made it more difficult, is that the property had to be close to the hospital they work in, so Edita could quickly walk home after a long night shift. After a few months of searching Rightmove, they just couldn’t find exactly what they were looking for.

Fortunately, the tech we use allows us to search for homes very specifically, anywhere in the UK. After reaching out to a few hundred potentially suitable homes that were ‘off market’, we were able to get Arnel & Edita viewings on three properties that we not anywhere to be found online. The first two were spot on in terms of size, but with busy schedules they felt were too much work. But as they say… third time lucky – they found the perfect house. An offer was agreed, and they are currently going through the conveyancing process.
