We know property. As one of only a handful of truly independent agencies in West London, we have been able to remain the ideal size: large enough to be a serious presence in the area, and small enough for our five offices and 65 staff to communicate with each other quickly and efficiently.

You know us. We have many of the advantages you would expect from a big corporate agency. But our clients also benefit from working with a tight-knit group of property professionals operating at the top of their game. Our clients are not just passed down to a junior member of staff as is so often the case elsewhere. They deal directly with a seasoned property specialist. All our staff are decision-makers, able to respond dynamically to market requirements, complex negotiations, planning and expenditure.

Ours is a unique proposition. We combine direct, local expertise with marketing muscle and global reach.

this beautiful chelsea home has a long history with our company and is typical of our provenance and longevity in the london market. First acquired by us in 1996, we continued to advise the owner until the recent point of sale where we obtained a record price after a successful marketing campaign. to complete the service, we acquired the owner’s onward purchase and found them a short term rental to allow for building works to be completed.

These days London is part of the global village. Our sales specialists know their areas and

have an effective global reach.

Many of us have lived or worked here for years, and through our excellent relationships

with the best search agents we have a huge international client base.

Nowadays, local, national and international presence is essential for a successful marketing campaign. The market must be fully researched and exploited.

Our combination of on-and off-line marketing, active social media and PR activities, and a substantial database which we have built over many years, ensures maximum

exposure and the best results. But our discretion and intimate local knowledge and contacts mean we also handle many off market transactions.
