Richard Clowes, the well known Leicestershire property and land specialist, has just launched his own bespoke property search consultancy.

The business which operates throughout Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire, will deliver a specialist service designed to provide clients with a selection of quality properties or investment options at the earliest possible opportunity.

Although well known in the South East, bespoke property search is a relatively untried concept in the East Midlands and Richard was becoming increasingly aware of the demand for quality properties and land based business opportunities as people - particularly in the current economic climate - were either relocating or just taking on a new lifestyle to suit their changing needs. 

"I started to become more and more aware of property opportunities which matched with people I knew who were looking to buy. So when I decided to look at a change of career for myself and take on a new business challenge, it seemed the most logical step to take." Said Richard, who with over 25 years experience in the sector, has worked for some of the most reputable land and estate agencies in the UK.

Now operating as Richard Clowes Search & Consultancy, the practice will source, select and preview properties on both the open market and the 'hidden market' which are those properties being marketed discreetly by agents, together with providing a complete range of services to include: advice on selling; land purchase; land sales; development and conversions; advice on planning permissions and all matters relating to the enhancement and profitability of land including residential investment property and commercial buildings. 

Richard, who has an enviable reputation for identifying property, land, buildings and other opportunities for clients looking to relocate, invest, move up or downsize has already started to use his extensive knowledge of the area to provide a first class, discreet and efficient service. 

"I already have a number of clients seeking relocation and new rural business opportunities - and as anyone who watches the property market knows, this is an excellent time to buy." Explained Richard, "And as I tell all my clients, this part of the East Midlands is still one of England's best kept secrets in terms of property, landscape and accessibility. It really is the best address in the right location!"
