In 2020 Graham Mackintosh BSc MRICS joined me as a consultant at Jamieson Property Search. Graham has been in the property sector for over 35 years, working across both the commercial and residential sectors. Graham works primarily across the southern and eastern parts of the county and particularly in Norwich itself. He knows the area exceptionally well and currently lives in Norwich with his family.
“Jamie’s great strength is that he is knowledgeable about the area and the market, what’s available and how much properties are going for. I think he probably has one of the most extensive black books of contacts in the whole of Norfolk. Before I engaged his services, I was finding it very frustrating because the kind of property I was looking for was selling off market. Within three weeks of working together, Jamie had achieved more than I had in two years of searching alone. He’s also very personable, and nothing is too much trouble.”
“I thought working with Jamie might be a bit like ‘Escape to the Country’ – that he’d take me around properties and sell them to me and try to get the transaction done as quickly as possible. It wasn’t like that at all. He was just as invested in finding me the right property as I was. It’s easy to get overly emotional about buying a house, so it was very helpful to have someone with me to look at options entirely rationally. Were it not for Jamie I’d probably have fallen in love with a falling down wreck and be taking apart a house right now and discovering ever more problems. Instead, I’ve moved into a house that’s really right for me.”
“It was the scarcity of properties in combination with the fact I was not a Norfolk resident that encouraged me to enlist a buying agent. I had to find somewhere to live before my children started school in the September and figured the fee was worth the investment rather than risking the cost and availability of a rental property. I also wanted to feel that I’d left no stone unturned in our search and – given estate agents work for the vendor – it was good to have someone in our corner who had our best interests at heart especially as I couldn’t easily travel to Norfolk for every viewing. I wouldn’t think twice about recommending Jamie and Graham.”
“Graham ensured we were one of the very first to view the property we eventually bought. We followed Graham’s advice on our initial offer and were surprised to secure the property under asking price in a competitive market, having been outbid on two other properties before working with him. He was very professional and easy to work with and put his network to work well for our advantage, and we appreciated him attending the survey without us asking to help smooth everything through.”
“We wanted someone who was going to support us, not sell to us. We were London based so didn’t know the local area very well, and at one of the very first meetings with Jamie we showed him the particulars of a house we’d seen on Rightmove, only for him to point out that it was next door to a pig farm. His Norfolk knowledge saved us a lot of time and wasted journeys. We also appreciated Jamie and Graham’s clear views on value – in a difficult market it’s tempting to get carried away and offer way more than a house is worth. They helped us secure the right house at a fair price, while doing much of the heavy lifting that always comes with any UK house purchase for us.”
“With Jamie’s help, we approached the owner of a property we liked that wasn’t on the market, received a positive response, and went on to have an offer accepted quickly. All in a very tough market.”
Weathering the Storm: A Farm with a Future It takes real skill to be a farmer. Alongside the obvious subjects – biology, chemistry, maths and geography – a good farmer needs an in-depth understanding of weather systems, a working knowledge of animal physiology, a degree in engineering and the ability to make sense of…
Architect Juliet Moore on the pleasure of solving problems, giving old buildings a future and designing places that feel good to be in. We tend to describe a house by the things we can count: bedrooms, bathrooms, acres, the number of cars that will fit on the drive. The things that make us feel at…
I love Norfolk, simple as that and I especially love the houses and homes I get to spend so much time in, especially some of the stories behind them which many may not know about. And, if like me, you spend enough time driving around Norfolk looking for houses and you start to notice the…
