Personal Property Search
With over 40 illustrious years spent acquiring and selling prime residential estates, luxury homes, and properties of all shapes, sizes, and periods across the Home Counties and Central London, Tim brings a wealth of experience to every transaction.
His deep expertise is the cornerstone of Garbett & Partners Personal Property Search service—offering clients grounded, insightful advice and mature judgement when sourcing, negotiating, and acquiring exceptional homes.
Whether you’re looking for a family home, a development plot, a luxury apartment, or a central London townhouse—whatever your dream may be—we’re here to help you find it and will!
Many buyers find the property market overwhelming, with initial excitement giving way to fatigue if the search lingers on. Our role is to keep that momentum alive—to maintain focus, motivation, a sense of purpose (and humour!)—so your journey stays positive and productive. Another key advantage we bring is our respected, long-established network of trusted agents and industry colleagues across the regions, giving you privileged access to properties before they officially hit the market.
Our journey together begins by listening—really listening—to your dream wish list. We start with a large coffee and an in-depth conversation, covering everything from how your family lives (and how your pets live), to your travel patterns, communication preferences, school requirements, timelines, and more. From there, we embark on a meticulous, detective-like search—think Hercule Poirot—systematically scouring the entire market and your areas of interest.
We preview properties, take videos and photographs, and provide diarised updates and detailed reports at every stage. Once we have a shortlist of the most promising options, we analyse and compare them to present you with the true ‘best in class’. When the right property is chosen, we negotiate on your behalf and liaise with legal teams, managing every aspect of the acquisition process to ensure a smooth path to completion.
