In Search of Bath ... from Bath Life Magazine (September 2008)
Specialising in the upper end of the market, if you want to buy the perfect Bath home, look no further than Swift Homesearch.
Swift Homesearch is an independent property search company representing clients who want to buy homes in and around the Bath area. Head of the company, Steve Swift, a passionate Bathonian himself, leads a dedicated team to find the right property for the right client in the right timespan - and most importantly - at the right price. A tall order in these economic times surely?
“Not really. Although house prices have certainly seen a dip recently, the good news is that the quintessential Bath lifestyle continues to draw people in. We have some stunning rare and original properties in the city and an eclectic mix of beautiful country homes in surrounding villages. This means Bath properties will always be in high demand because everyone wants a piece of the Bath heritage.”
The quintessential Bath lifestyle continues to draw people in.
Specialising in the upper end of the market, Swift Homesearch offer a vital service particularly for clients who live abroad or outside the area and don’t have access to local knowledge.
Working closely with Estate Agents, Solicitors and Surveyors on the client’s behalf to make the whole experience as smooth as possible, a good home search company can be worth its weight in gold.
“It’s so important to offer our clients who tend to be busy professionals themselves the complete package. We have a valuable network of related suppliers and services who can take a potential property forward to make it a perfect home for that client." says Steve.

“A design audit, if you like, which assesses the possibilities and practicalities of making a Georgian space work for modern times is a popular brief from Steve Swift’s clients. We can realise the true value of space which helps the decision on the sale.”
Quality designers and builders, as well as planning advice are all part of the Swift Homesearch package, and they even offer valuable expertise on local amenities.
“There’s no doubt that Bath’s excellent schools are a major attraction for property buyers moving to the area, and that’s why competition for large family homes remains fierce. Swift Homesearch is retained by prospective buyers in these instances, regardless of economic factors, because of our ability to deliver.”
Spending time with clients to define the house and location that will fit their lifestyle and needs makes sense when you don’t know the area. Clients using a home search service will tend to live abroad or be buyers from a different part of the UK, who have heard about the delights of Bath but really don’t know the area well enough to begin to choose a property.
