Alder Carr House Farm, Harrogate, Yorkshire Harrogate - one of Yorkshire's most sought after areas

Client Requirement John Bussey is the founder and Chairman of Driver Hire, a leading supplier of professional drivers and ancillary staff. Although he knew precisely the type of family home he wanted, John had been searching for 18 months without success. Sands was briefed to locate and acquire a suitable home with the following features: • Country house with substantial grounds • Private secluded setting • Swimming pool • Helipad • Garaging for 7 cars • Within 15 miles of Harrogate Sands Approach Harrogate is an affluent part of North Yorkshire with a booming property market, fuelled by competition between local businessmen and southern based buyers taking advantage of the excellent value for money offered by properties in this area. It was agreed that the client’s requirements should be immediately marketed to selling agents, surveyors and other property professionals, both locally and nationally. Additionally, Sands’ own £1/2 billion repository of ‘off-market’ property would be searched with discrete approaches made to owners of suitable properties to ascertain their interest in selling. Sands in Action Within 3 days of being instructed, Sands had identified the key selling agents and informed them of its client’s requirements. Sands re-inforced the fact that its client was in a position to proceed should they be aware of an appropriate property either becoming available or being discretely offered for sale. At the same time, the Sands research team scoured both its own database and the target area for properties that might be available ‘off-market’. Although initial approaches to selling agents bore little fruit, Sands redoubled its efforts and was in constant dialogue with key contacts. As a result of its persistence and reputation, Sands was informed first of a property that was only to be made quietly available to the most select purchasers. An immediate viewing was arranged and the client was delighted to find that the property being viewed, was a renowned country estate that had, in fact, been the benchmark for his search criteria. Sands had literally sourced his dream home. The Result The client’s offer was agreed in principle within a week. After 18 months unsuccessful searching, Sands client, John Bussey and his wife were able to move into their new home just a few weeks after first viewing the property.
