WHAT WE DO

Our aim is to make your property search simple and pleasant.  We preview everything we can before taking you in, we save you time, leaving you free to continue your life. Our experience of the prime central London, South Cotswolds and Bath markets means we will have seen or been aware of almost every property that has changed hands in last 20 years in the areas in which we operate.  We are therefore able to identify a property that we know will appeal to you and to make discreet, but direct approaches to the present owners to test the waters on your behalf. 

We know in detail almost every street - the better side of the road, the ones with larger gardens, the ones which may be partly blighted by tube noise or an electricity sub station, early morning deliveries to a business which may not be obvious, and a host of other subtle defects that will not be apparent on initial inspection. This is the knowledge that is invaluable, as is our knowledge of the market and values in any given area.

Off market vendors seek us out because they know we bring serious, motivated buyers. Once a sale is agreed, our buyers can expect a smooth process, as we ensure that contracts exchange quickly and efficiently. Off market deals can sometimes be overpriced, and few properties are genuinely off market unless there is a need for discretion due to financial pressures or celebrity status. We make it a priority to understand the reasons behind an off market sale and, regardless, we know where to find them. As a result, many of the properties we acquire never appear on websites.  

Buying is what we do 24/7, securing your chosen house for the best possible price and on the most favourable terms.

Rentals - The same high standards apply, inside knowledge of streets and areas, values and comparable recent letting prices.

Managed Sales - We never sell anything ourselves as we are not best placed to do so, but we introduce you to the right selling agent(s), advise on true value, discuss different marketing strategies, liaise over brochure production ensuring fabulous photographs, accurate floor plans and correct descriptions to ensure both market appeal and accuracy.  You can sell totally at arms length if you prefer, we select the right agent(s) for the property, negotiate the best terms for you, oversee the preparation of the the house ready for marketing.  We can even field offers, negotiate on your behalf and carry out due diligence on potential purchasers.

Negotiation - Our experience over 25 years and our inside market knowledge ensure the best possible outcome.  You are already ahead of the field if you are represented by an expert buying agent, estate agents know that you are serious and that you will be properly prepared, you are green lighted before you even start. Sealed bids - winning them is an art as much as a science, particularly doing so by the tiniest of margins which we have a track record of doing.  We thoroughly investigate the opposition, know the number of bidders, find out what is important to the seller, prepare the ground for a lightning quick exchange of contracts without jeopardising proper due diligence. We do our utmost to place our clients in the best possible position.
