Property Search – what happens and what's included?

Free initial consultation

We first obtain a thorough understanding of your requirements at a preliminary meeting, ideally at your current home, so that we can put together a picture of your ideal property and search criteria.

Tour of the area

For our International clients, or those new to the search area, we provide a familiarisation tour. This will be tailored to your specific requirements, for example, local schools, transport and leisure amenities. All tours are chauffeur driven to ensure the trip is relaxing, productive and discreet.

Property search and initial preview

After confirming your search criteria, we review all properties currently available by working with local estate agents and our extensive private contacts. We then draw up an initial list of suitable properties that match your needs, visit each property on your behalf, and finally compile a short list.

Your viewings

At your convenience, we take you to see all short-listed properties so that you can choose the very best one. This can usually be done in less than one day. For many of our clients, particularly those from overseas, this is the only time that they need to spend on the property search. We will take care of everything else. However, rest assured that we will keep on searching until we find your ideal London property, regardless of our initial short list.

Property selection and negotiation

Once you have chosen a property, we will conduct all of the negotiations in collaboration with you, to ensure that we secure the property at the best possible price.

Ensuring completion

Once an offer has been accepted, we liaise with the estate agent or private seller, solicitors, surveyors, mortgage lenders and all other parties to expedite the process through to completion. We can even recommend packing and removal companies when it comes to moving day.
