The international homes department
In 2006, we established the Winkworth international homes department, based in our central London head office.
The international homes team manage the sale and purchase of overseas properties for both UK-based and international buyers. They play a vital role in managing all aspects of the process, which can be particularly complicated when you are dealing with overseas transactions.
Sellers of international homes
If you are considering selling your international home, our team will prepare a tailored marketing package, ensuring that your property is exposed to the best possible audience. Your property will be listed on our website and professional brochures will be prepared and sent to all the buyers listed in our database whose criteria match those of your property. The personalised and dedicated nature of our service means that we will contact key prospects direct to discuss your property. We are happy to arrange accompanied viewings, too, so that you don’t have to give up your time.
We work closely with our colleagues in the Winkworth central London offices and are able to access their high-net worth clients to promote your property. With a long-established and trusted name, many buyers rely on Winkworth to help them with their international property search.
We may advertise your property in one of our regular positions in Country Life, the Financial Times, or the Sunday Times at absolutely no cost to you. These publications are proven to generate a large volume of quality leads and have directly resulted in a number of successful sales.
When we have found your buyer, we will manage the whole process.
For the buyers
Buying an overseas property can be daunting and not without reason. International property laws differ a lot and without proper advice, many buyers have found themselves in difficulty.
Our advisors on the international homes team will guide you through the process from start to finish.
From assisting you in your search for the perfect home, to arranging accompanied viewings and managing the purchase process, we will be there every step of the way.
We will regularly contact you with progress reports and ensure that you are consulted at all stages. We can also recommend, or help you to source independent legal experts in the country you want to buy.
To start the process, you simply need to drop us a line. Call +44 (0)20 8576 5582 to talk to a member of our team. We will then register your details and talk you through any properties that may match your criteria.
The international homes department is currently marketing property across Europe, including France, Portugal, Switzerland and Italy.
