Who Are They For?

Property transactions stall when buyers’ find it challenging to see how a property can meet their needs on all their desired terms. Rather making an offer, many potential buyers will walk away. Clarity changes this by providing early, comprehensive insights into a property’s potential, in a way that aligns the individual buyer’s aspirations with inspirational design soloutions, that also aim to satisfy their budget and timeline expectations. As a service exclusively for those considering the purchase of multi-million pound residences, we often recieve client introductions from super-prime agents who want to ensure their potential buyers’ design and development questions can be professionally addressed. For agents, this results in faster decision making and greater satisfactication for parties on all sides of the transaction.

What Questions Do They Answer?

Clarity Apprisals are designed for serious potential buyers of prime and super-prime properties, who are referred via estate agents, when there is hesitantancy about making an offer on a property.

In this scenario buyers often want authoritative answers to the  following types of questions:

  • “Am I overlooking the potential of this property to meet my lifestyle aspirations?”.
  • “How can I best utilise my design and renovation budget?”
  • “Will I be able to make the changes I want to the property?”
  • “How can I make the best use of space?”
  • “How long will my plans take to complete?”
  • “Are there any planning, conservation and heritage risks, that need to be addressed? If so, how?”

By identifying the full potential of a property pre-purchase, buyers are more confident to proceed to making an offer.

What’s Involved In A Clarity Appraisal?

By leveraging over twenty years’ experience helping high-net-worth clients’ transform properties with potential into truly  exceptional homes – Clairty appriasals are undertaken by Janine Stone & Co.’s multi-disciplinary team of planning and heritage specialists, architects, interior designers, construction specialists and project managers.

Just as every prospect has a unique vision for the properties they view, each residence has it’s own idisyncracies. Depending on the circumstances, pre-purchase design and development appraisals can be delivered on a complimentary basis via a combination of:

  • Desktop research – to advise on the planning history and development opportunities, based on planning precedents set by neighbouring properties, etc.
  • Telephone or in-person consultation – to understand your requirements for the property being considered.
  • A visit to the property – to guide you through the possibilities of the property in-person.
  • Development of alternative floor plans and concept sketches – to visually demonstrate any possible changes to the property size and configuration.

What Are The Benefits For Agents?

  • More Decisive Prospects: By providing potential buyers with detailed insights into a property’s potential, potential buyers are more decisive and committed to the offers they make.
  • Enhanced Buyer Experience: Our independetly informed insights instill super-prime buyers with significantly greater trust and satisfaction in the lead up to making an offer. Evaluating a property becomes more enjoyable and less stressful for potential buyers, reflecting positively on the estate agent.

Case Studies

 

A Super Prime Buyer In Mayfair

One Super Prime Buyer in Mayfair, initially had reservations about the feasibility of modernising a pied-à-terre for his son , in time for him to relocate from the Middle East for University. Whilst the buyer was predominantly hesitant about whether the property could be transformed in a short space of time, he always was considering converting it into a duplex to pay for the modernisation. A Clarity appraisal not only provided answers to the eventual buyers’ questions, but also design ideas and reccomendations to realise the best version of his vision.

 

A UHNW Family In Buckinghamshire

One UHNW buyer of a grade listed family residence in Buckinghamshire initially had reservations about, whether their idea to link the main property to an outbuiling via subterranean tunnel was not only feasible in a planning sense, but the right approach to achieve their lifestyle aspirations. Disagreement between family members created hesitancy to make an offer, until a Clarity appaisal helped reconcile all the familiy members’ disagreements within a plan that was feasible and accepatble from a planning, budgetary and timeline perspective.
