Register As An Equestrian Buyer

Owning the right equestrian home is about more than bedrooms and square footage. It is about land that drains well, safe access for horses, practical facilities and a lifestyle that works all year round. When you register with The Ivybridge Collection as an equestrian buyer, we match you with carefully selected homes across Norfolk and Suffolk, including properties that are never widely advertised online.

Our directors personally review every registration. This is not an automated list. It is a discreet, curated service for serious equestrian buyers who value clarity, precision and expert guidance.

Why register as an equestrian buyer

  • Early access to suitable homes
    Many equestrian instructions are shared with registered buyers before a full public launch.
  • Matched to your exact requirements
    We consider land size, drainage, turnout, arenas, stables, lorry access and riding routes, not just the house itself.
  • Personal review by our directors
    Robert or Nicola will review your registration and consider where you might fit within our current and upcoming instructions.
  • Discreet and considered communication
    You hear from us when there is a genuine match, not a stream of unsuitable properties.

Please complete the registration form below. The more detail you share about your horses, land requirements and lifestyle, the more precise our recommendations can be.

After you submit...

 

What you can expect after registering

Once you have submitted your details, our process is straightforward and respectful of your time.

  1. Review by our directors
    Your registration is reviewed by Robert or Nicola, alongside our current equestrian portfolio and upcoming instructions.
  2. Quiet matching against suitable homes
    We consider both live listings and homes that are preparing for launch, or that may be available on a confidential basis.
  3. Personal contact when we see a strong fit
    When there is a meaningful match, we contact you directly to share further details and discuss next steps.
  4. Priority access to key opportunities
    Registered equestrian buyers are often invited to view before a wider marketing campaign begins.

You are always welcome to update your requirements as your plans develop.

What matters most in an equestrian purchase

Buying a home with land brings its own set of questions. When we match you with properties, we think beyond the house and consider:

  • Land quality and drainage – how the ground behaves in wet and dry conditions, and how reliably it drains.
  • Turnout and rotation – paddock layout, fencing, access and how easily you can rotate grazing.
  • Arenas and working areas – the specification of any menage or arena, surface quality, lighting and scope for improvement.
  • Stables and yard layout – stable numbers, ventilation, storage, tack rooms and how the yard functions for daily routines.
  • Access for lorries and trailers – drive configuration, turning space, gate positions and safety for loading or unloading.
  • Bridleways and riding routes – local hacking, road types and proximity to equestrian centres or event venues.

Our role is to help you understand the practical realities of each property so that the purchase supports your long term equestrian plans.

Why equestrian buyers choose The Ivybridge Collection

The Ivybridge Collection focuses on distinctive homes and properties with land across Norfolk and Suffolk. Our equestrian buyers often tell us they were looking for three things that are hard to find in a single agency.

  • Specialist understanding of equestrian living
    We pay attention to drainage plans, yard layout, fencing, access and local riding, not just the photographs.
  • Director led service
    From your first conversation through to negotiation and completion, you deal with senior decision makers who understand both the property and the people involved.
  • Balanced advice, not pressure
    Our aim is to support a confident, well informed decision. If a property is not right for you, we will say so.

For many of our clients, this may be a long term home, a significant lifestyle shift or a consolidation of horses on site. The stakes are high. We treat each search accordingly.

If you are also selling an equestrian property

If you have a property to sell as part of your move, we can coordinate both sides of the journey for you. You may wish to:

  • Arrange a private valuation for your current home.
  • Discuss the right timing between sale and purchase.
  • Explore whether to sell quietly or via a full marketing launch.

You can learn more about our approach on our Equestrian Property Sales UK page or contact us directly to arrange a private conversation with Robert or Nicola.

Start your equestrian search with clarity

The right equestrian home should work for your horses, your family and your future plans. Registering as an equestrian buyer is the first step. Share your requirements today and we will be in touch when we see a property that genuinely fits what you are looking for.
