Search refined to an art
Can you define your agency?
We are dedicated to finding and securing exceptional homes for our clients in London and The Cotswolds. We offer a highly personalised service, guiding clients through every step of the property acquisition process, from initial consultation to successful purchase. Our considered approach is entirely client centric.
What does your “considered approach” involve?
We take the time to understand each client’s lifestyle, preferences and requirements. This enables us to source properties that truly align with their needs. By leveraging our extensive network and market expertise we provide access to both on-market and off-market opportunities, ensuring our clients are presented with the best possible options.
What sets your agency apart from others?
We only represent buyers and tenants, unlike estate agents who act for sellers and landlords. This is very important as it means we are never competing with the estate agents which is essential in ensuring we are first through the door of new properties and means we avoid any conflicts.
What kind of clients do you typically work with?
Many are UHNW individuals; entrepreneurs; professionals, or family offices - all who value privacy, trusted guidance and a highly personalised service. Some are relocatng from abroad, others are looking for a London base or a contryside retreat in the Cotswolds.
What lessons have you learned in your career?
The importance of adaptability. The UK property market is dynamic and each client’s needs are unique. Being flexible and responsive allows us to navigate challenges and seize opportunities effectively.
What advice would you give to someone buying in London or the Cotswolds?
Engage with professionals who understand the local market and can provide tailored, experienced advice. Patience is key and finding the right property is a journey, it’s worth taking the time to get it right.
