Finding the perfect home isn’t just about bricks and mortar—it’s about finding a space that fits your lifestyle, aspirations, and future plans. At Otters Home Search, we understand the immense value of securing the right home and are committed to making the process as smooth and rewarding as possible. Here’s a detailed look at the services we provide and how our fees work.

The Value of the Right Home
Being in the right house can transform your day-to-day life. It’s about much more than location; it’s about community, convenience, and the feeling of truly being at home. The right home can:
Enhance your overall well-being.
Provide a haven for relaxation and connection.
Offer financial security and long-term growth opportunities.
At Otters Home Search, we specialise in helping you achieve this balance, saving you time, stress, and uncertainty in the process.
Our Services and Fees
We provide a fully managed and personalised property search service, with fees designed to reflect the bespoke nature of our offering. Here’s a breakdown of our services and associated costs:
1. Search Fee
When you instruct us to begin your property search, we charge an initial Search Fee of £1,250 (inclusive of VAT). This fee is payable in advance and ensures our dedicated team can fully commit to finding the perfect home for you.
2. Success Fee
Upon successfully securing your new home and exchanging contracts, we charge a Success Fee of 2.0% (inclusive of VAT) of the agreed sale price. The previously paid search fee is deducted from this amount, ensuring clarity and fairness.
3. Orientation Tour Fee
If you wish to explore the area before commencing your full property search, we offer an Orientation Tour led by Abbie and Francesca. This four-hour tour is tailored to your requested location(s) and is an excellent way to familiarise yourself with potential neighbourhoods.
Cost: £495 (inclusive of VAT).
This is a standalone service conducted at the outset of working together.
