- Areas: St Pancras, Fitzrovia, Marylebone
The challenge
As we explored numerous options, from a charming refurbished house to a sleek modern penthouse apartment, the property style evolved to match our client's desires. In this dynamic environment, we remained highly responsive to provide the best off market options and skilfully negotiated to secure the best deal for them.
Results and outcomes
We successfully obtained an off-market apartment in St Pancras, negotiating a price 7% below the initial asking price. This was perfectly timed for our client, as they planned their move for August. During their holidays, we took great pleasure in assisting them with the check-in and inventory process. We were there alongside the clerk, ensuring a seamless transition as they took possession of the property, including all their furniture and a few rental pieces. As part of our service, we set up the utilities on their behalf. This ensured that upon moving into their new home, all essential correspondence arrived in their names, making their transition even more convenient.
The key to success
This success story underscores the key to our effectiveness—combining adaptability, swift action, and expert negotiation skills. Our ability to pivot in response to evolving client preferences and to secure an exceptional property at a favourable price and timeline exemplifies our dedication to delivering outstanding results. We pride ourselves on not just meeting but exceeding our clients' expectations, making their dreams of the perfect home a reality.

A Rental case study in Church Road, Richmond
A family of five from Charlotte, North Carolina, contacted us with an exciting mission: to completely transform their lives by moving to London, along with their adorable dog. With just three months to plan this monumental relocation and a pending school confirmation from The American International School TASIS for their three children, every moment mattered. They had heard glowing things about Richmond, Twickenham, and Chiswick—lush, family-friendly areas known for their charm and sense of community. However, they weren’t familiar enough with these neighbourhoods to make such an important decision confidently, especially while managing the complexities of an international move. Navigating the London property market from thousands of miles away felt overwhelming, so they turned to us for guidance.

A Rental case study in Princes Gate, South Kensington
A Swiss couple with two young children, aged 4 and 5½, decided to relocate to London to provide their family with the best educational opportunities in the dynamic capital. With their children accepted into prestigious schools—though at different locations—the move was driven by their desire to balance convenience and quality of life. Both parents had deep personal ties to London: the wife had attended boarding school in West London, and the husband had grown up in South Kensington. This familiarity with the area helped shape their search for the perfect family home in one of London’s most desirable neighbourhoods. However, with the peak summer market in full swing, securing a property that met their high standards required expert guidance.
