About us
Research and Finding
We combine our understanding of the property market with the ability to anticipate market changes. Utilising our robust network of existing relationships, we identify the most suitable property options for clients with disabilities.
We take responsibility for every step of the journey—from market research and exploring possibilities to securing a rental or purchase that facilitates progress in the rehabilitation process. Our property finding team works diligently to comprehend each client’s unique needs.
Rental or Forever Home
For clients with life-changing injuries who cannot return to their original homes, we swiftly secure suitable rental accommodation, enabling them to receive necessary care and therapy packages sooner. Whether it’s a short-term tenancy or a long-term agreement, we tailor each tenancy to ensure practicality. If adaptations are needed, we address reinstatement provisions at the tenancy’s outset. When searching for a forever home, we evaluate properties based on our client’s long-term requirements.
Assessing Homes for Suitability
We consider wheelchair access, space for lifts, accessible bathrooms, carers’ accommodation, therapy rooms, and areas for hydrotherapy pools. All suitable properties are reviewed with the client and their legal and care teams. We provide detailed summaries of the location, care options, schooling, family dynamics, and the property itself.
Our collaborative approach aims to ensure optimal outcomes for our clients by proactively engaging with solicitors, deputies, case managers, and therapists, providing support and guidance every step of the way.
Evaluating Possibilities
Upon instruction from the legal team or client, we begin with a thorough evaluation of the property market to ascertain available properties. We offer tailored reports and insights, including:
- Property Search Review
- Property Search Analysis
- Pre-Purchase Report (PPR)
- Suitability Reports
Our housing market reviews are informed by client-provided data, including geographic and demographic analysis and sales data, both historical and current. This information streamlines the property selection process, enabling quicker decision-making for clients and their teams.
Summary of the Property Finding Process:
- Initial Meeting: We meet with clients, either directly or through a solicitor, within 24 hours anywhere in the UK, including hospitals and care facilities. We provide a sensitive and structured approach during this challenging time.
- Understanding Requirements: We work closely with the client and their support team (legal, medical, and care professionals) to understand the impact of the injuries and gather critical information about the client**’s** care needs.
- Developing a Property Brief: Based on the client’s current and future needs, preferences, and locality requirements, we create a detailed property brief, aligned with the client and their support team’s input.
- Property Identification and Assessment: We identify suitable properties and conduct assessments. We share images and videos via WhatsApp or our online portal to help clients visualise the options.
- Ongoing Feedback and Negotiation: We provide regular updates on market changes and available properties, handle negotiations with agents, and manage the administrative tasks to secure the chosen property.
