We save the majority of our clients, more than their search fee costs.

Finding a property and choosing the right  location, can be one of the biggest tasks. Buyers are often intimidated by the potential scale of their search. Currently, there are more than 250 agents operating in London, which equates to a lot of time searching.

We use our client's criteria to compile a shortlist of suitable properties for viewing. Their contacts, means they have access to properties coming on to the market and some off market, which gives their clients an immediate edge on the competition.
