Interestingly, a significant number of sales are now conducted off-market. </b></p> 440<h2><strong>Buying Agents</strong></h2> 441<p>The other key way to find a country house which meets your requirements is to engage the services of a buying agent who can do the searching on your behalf. They naturally work in a more discrete manner and often purchase houses on behalf of clients without the houses ever going near to the estate agents. This is an advantage if you are seeking to buy a specific house which may not even be on the market, or where the owners or buyers are looking for maximum discretion.</p> 442<p>———————————————————-</p> 443<p><strong>Note</strong>: the inclusion of a link on this page is <em>not</em> an endorsement.</p> 444<div id="jp-post-flair" class="sharedaddy sd-rating-enabled sd-like-enabled sd-sharing-enabled"><div class="sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled"><div class="robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing"><h3 class="sd-title">Share this:</h3><div class="sd-content"><ul><li class="share-twitter"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" 445 data-shared="sharing-twitter-4005" 446 class="share-twitter sd-button share-icon" 447 href="https://thecountryseat.org.uk/buying-a-country-house/?share=twitter" 448 target="_blank" 449 aria-labelledby="sharing-twitter-4005" 450 > 451 <span id="sharing-twitter-4005" hidden>Share on X (Opens in new window)</span> 452 <span>X</span> 453 </a></li><li class="share-email"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" 454 data-shared="sharing-email-4005" 455 class="share-email sd-button share-icon" 456 href="mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Buying%20a%20country%20house&body=https%3A%2F%2Fthecountryseat.org.uk%2Fbuying-a-country-house%2F&share=email" 457 target="_blank" 458 aria-labelledby="sharing-email-4005"
