Property
Sourcing
A refined
process
You as our focus
Our strength is in understanding you.
Each client’s circumstances and brief are highly individual and we act for people in a range of situations - buying prime property for yourself or impassionately to let, buying for children, renting post-divorce or relocating across continents - for each and every client, we live the journey with you.
We’re here to guide you, to challenge you, to ensure you only settle for the best.
01
No stone unturned
Our property search process is refined and exhaustive. After fully examining the open market we also investigate the rental market for potential purchases (or the sales market for rentals), search archives for properties that never sold, make direct approaches, and use our status in the industry to access discreet or off market properties.
Nearly half of the properties we show our clients are not available on the open market.
02
We have a 98% success rate of finding the right property for our clients within the first viewing tour
Results without compromise
With experience of hundreds of property purchases, a deep understanding of what drives property value, a formidable track record in the market for representing the highest calibre of clients, and a sharp focus on achieving the best results, we’ve built a proven track record of negotiating the best outcome for our clients.
On average we save our clients at least double our fee, making our service an investment rather than a luxury.
03
We have won 85% of the competitive bidding situations we’ve entered and in 60% of those cases we were not the highest bidder
Trusted advisor
We are entirely independent, impartial, unbiased and experienced. Our sole purpose is that every client we act for reaches the best possible outcome with their interests fully protected at all times.
This extends beyond the negotiation as we assemble a team of London’s most effective solicitors, surveyors and other experts and act as a single point of contact, overseeing all legal and technical matters.
04
Your best outcome
We will always go the extra mile, making sure every stage of your journey sourcing a property contributes to a genuinely enjoyable and rewarding experience.
From providing you with the very best properties to choose from, to supporting your move and celebrating with you as you get the keys in your hand, we’re with you every step of the way.
05
Success in negotiation was outstanding
Above & beyond
We’ll continue to support you even after completion of the deal. Our settling-in team can take care of anything for you in order to get you settled in what can otherwise be a stressful period.
Whatever you need help with – from removals specialists to art installers, finding dog walkers to getting school uniforms, arranging your clothes just how you like them to simply switching across your utilities – we’re there for you.

You made our life better whilst delivering this amazing service

The Team
With over a decade of experience in the industry, our award-winning property sourcing team have acquired more than 300 properties for their clients over the years.
Led by Jo Eccles, one of the UK’s leading authorities on luxury residential property, we combine a deep intuition for building client relationships with an extensive knowledge of the London property market.
As well as working with individual clients, we work with many leading international companies to secure suitable homes for their employees when relocating to London.
Combining a meticulous and conscientious approach, we are trusted to look after our clients on their relocation journey, and deliver results that they would not be able to achieve by themselves.
Our Fees
This includes an exhaustive search of all rental properties available, including those deemed ‘off-market’ to private individuals, and a full day of accompanied viewings.
It is extremely rare that we would need to start a new search and do a second day of viewings. However, if we do, this will be charged at £1,200.
This service also includes all negotiation of rent and tenancy terms, and project management of the entire rental process including approving the tenancy agreement, referencing, fund transfers and snagging.
| Retainer fee | £2,500 + VAT (deducted from the success fee) |
| Success fee (based on the purchase price as follows) | |
| Up to £5m | 2% |
| >> £5m | 1.75% |
| >> £10m | 1.5% |
Other sourcing services
As well as buying we provide expert guidance and representation for renting and relocating.
Renting
London’s rental market is highly competitive and whether you are renting for the long or short term, finding the right property on the best terms is crucial. Over the last decade, we have acquired many of the capital’s finest residences for those looking to rent.
