A Confident Move to Bath—Just in Time for School
In the picturesque city of Bath, finding the right family home can be a challenge—especially when time is tight and the market is competitive. Oliver and Georgia, eager to relocate before their daughter started school, turned to Otters Home Search for expert guidance.
Their journey highlights how having a trusted advocate on your side makes all the difference.
The Journey Begins
Oliver and Georgia came to us with a clear brief:
Budget: Up to £850,000
Location: Within Bath city, close to the train station
Schools: Near Kingswood Prep School
Features: Light renovation potential, home office space essential
With a ticking clock and very specific needs, they needed clarity, speed, and smart guidance to help avoid costly missteps.
Creating a Targeted Search Strategy
We began by refining their priorities and mapping out a tailored plan. Our local knowledge helped them understand:
Which neighbourhoods met their needs
What compromises might be necessary
Where they could get the most value for their budget
We curated a personalised viewing tour of four distinct areas, each with different vibes and price points.
One standout? A charming home in Batheaston, with sweeping views, great access to Kingswood, and a friendly, village-like feel.
💬 “Understanding the different parts of Bath was so helpful.” — Oliver & Georgia
Sealing the Deal—with Room to Spare
After exploring several options, Oliver and Georgia found their perfect home—priced at £750,000, leaving them budget flexibility for upgrades.
Our role didn’t stop at finding the house. We handled:
Offer strategy and negotiation
Ensuring favourable timeframes to align with school start dates
Liaising with estate agents, solicitors, and surveyors
Keeping all parties updated and on track
Their experience was stress-free, focused, and efficient.
Support Beyond the Sale
We believe in full-circle support. Post-sale, we introduced them to trusted local professionals:
Builder
Roofer
Painter
Drainage expert
Garden office specialist
Cleaner
💬 “We appreciated the referrals to various professionals and the meticulous negotiation that helped us secure our new home.”
Settling into Bath Life
As the July completion date approached, Oliver and Georgia were ready. We shared recommendations for:
Local parks and green spaces
Family-friendly restaurants and cafes
Weekend activities and community events
This wasn't just a relocation—it was a confident transition into a new chapter.
