Our Services
Every family has expectations, but we use our understanding, expertise and attention to detail to fulfill these objectives that result in happy, satisfied clients.
Each client receives a personal service and LPS will only accept a new client on the basis that special attention and supervision can be provided.
BRIEFING
Each assignment commences with an in-depth discussion to establish the client’s essential requirements. This in turn will provide a checklist of the necessary steps to prepare for a move, whether local or international. Advance home search issues include budget, schools, environment, facilities, transport, location, location, location and many other factors that affect the choice of property.
RESEARCH
We undertake a thorough search of the property market to identify properties that meet the initial requirements. At this stage our close working relationship with estate agents, developers and landlords enables LPS to perhaps identify suitable properties even before they come onto the open market.
Acquisition Once a property has been selected, LPS will:
• Negotiate the best possible lease or purchase terms.
• Arrange for the tenancy agreement to be prepared and approved.
• Ensure that utilities and services are transferred into the name of the client.
• Arrange for the property to be fully prepared for occupancy and for a professional Inventory Clerk to represent the interests of the client at check-in.
