Property search across the UK
Wherever you'd like to buy or invest in the UK, we search every source, not just the big portals.
Video viewings
Live walk-throughs on whichever video app works best where you are, such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or FaceTime, with our honest view of the condition, the street and the area.
Advice based on current research
Sold prices, rental demand and area trends, so your decision rests on evidence rather than sales talk.
Negotiation
We negotiate the price and terms for you and check the seller's position before any offer goes in.
Trusted solicitors and surveyors
Introductions to independent solicitors and surveyors who are experienced with buyers based overseas.
On your side
We represent you and act in your best interest at every step.

The costs to plan for
Overseas buyers often pay more Stamp Duty than they expect. The surcharges below are part of Stamp Duty, not separate taxes. They are added on top of the standard rates and paid to HMRC in a single bill, which your solicitor handles.
Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT)
| Cost | Rate | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Standard rates | 0% to 12% | Every buyer. Charged in bands, so each slice of the price is taxed at its own rate. |
| + Non-resident surcharge | +2% | Buyers who have spent fewer than 183 days in the UK in the 12 months before buying. Adds 2% to every band. |
| + Additional property surcharge | +5% | Buyers who will own another home anywhere in the world when the purchase completes. Adds 5% to every band. |
Other costs
| Cost | Rate | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Legal fees | Fixed fee | Your solicitor's fees and property searches |
| Survey | Fixed fee | Recommended for every purchase |
| Buying agent fee | On request | Explained on your first call and agreed in writing before the search begins |
| Band | Rate | Tax |
|---|
Figures use the rates in force since 1 April 2025. Your solicitor will confirm the exact amount for your purchase. This is general information, not tax advice.

Common questions
Can I buy without visiting the UK?
Yes. The search, video viewings, negotiation and legal work can all be done remotely, and identity checks can be completed online.
Do I need to be a UK resident or citizen?
No. Foreign nationals can buy property in England without restriction. Non-residents pay an extra 2% Stamp Duty, as shown above.
Which areas do you cover?
Wherever you'd like to buy or invest in the UK, we can help. We are happy to talk you through exactly how we'll support your search.
What documents will I need?
Your passport, proof of address and proof of where your funds come from. UK anti-money laundering rules require these for every purchase.
How are you paid?
We explain our fee on your first call and agree it in writing before the search begins.
