Home Hunts named as one of the leading buyer’s agents

Home Hunts’ exceptional buyer’s agent service has seen it recognised by eprivateclient as one of the top 25 buyer’s agents in the UK

Home Hunts has been selected as one of eprivateclient’s Top 25 Residential Property Buyers. The accolade is a result of the website’s survey of a wide variety of residential property buyers who acquire prestigious property for high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients.

eprivateclient, one of leading sites and news services for private client practitioners (including residential property buyers, lawyers and accountants) in the UK, carry out extensive research in order to compile this exclusive analysis. After collecting data on areas such as number of directors, number of buyers, number of staff, fee structure, fee income and the company selling policy, the top 25 firms are selected and the six key areas are published on the company’s website, which can be accessed here.

According to the publisher, the top 25 has seen a rise in fee income of 87% over 2015, rising to £58.95 million. Explaining that this averages £2.6 million per firm – with the highest recorded at £8 million and the lowest at £220,000 – the team also note that where data is not accessible, publisher’s estimates were made.

“After a successful 2015, where sales are at an all-time high and up 60% on the previous year, we are thrilled to receive this accolade from eprivateclient,” says Tim Swannie, Director of Home Hunts. “We pride ourselves on providing our clients with a high level of support during the buying process and are delighted to be selected as one of the top 25 property buyers in such a competitive market.”
