Why use a London buyers agent?

Are you living overseas and unable to spend enough time in London walking around agencies and viewing unsuitable properties?

Are you simply too busy to visit London to view a good property when it appears on the market?

Do you want access to "off market" properties - those that are sold before being advertised, or those whose owners prefer discretion?

Would you like reassurance and independent evidence that your property is worth the asking price?

The role of estate agents in London is to obtain the best possible price for their client, which is the seller of the property. In the UK there is no comprehensive multiple listings service like in the US or some other countries, so agents will generally only offer you the properties they have been instructed to sell. The main reason for this is that agency fees are very low in the UK, typically only 1.5% of the sales price, so they cannot afford to split commissions.

As buyers agents, we search the entire market including all estate agencies and private sellers to find the right home for you. We can often source properties which are off market and not advertised anywhere. It is also our job to help negotiate the best possible price for the buyer - usually our input into these negotiations can obtain a reduction in price far in excess of the fees we charge.

Finding a property in London can be a daunting task if you live outside the area, particularly if you are unfamiliar with the UK property market. We can advise you on the best areas, locate the best properties even before they appear in estate agents' windows and lead you through the purchase procedure.

We can save you valuable time, and you can be assured that all available properties have been considered, rather than use the hit and miss approach of contacting a limited number of estate agents or property portals on the internet.
