A Purchase case study in King Edward’s Road, Hackney
In just two months from first contact to key collection, we curated a shortlist of top properties, arranged quality viewings, and managed smooth negotiations. We handled every step—from securing terms to coordinating legal, survey, and renovation services—ensuring a seamless process for the client.
Case study background and context
Our client, an international business owner living abroad, sought to secure a second home in London but lacked familiarity with the property market and the time needed to manage the search. They requested a streamlined process with the best options that met their criteria, condensed into a single day of viewings, and wanted comprehensive support to handle the entire process.
Property search criteria
- 2 good size bedroom
- Period property
- Above first floor with a lift
- Outside space
The challenge
After an initial discussion to define their criteria and investment goals, the client informed us they would be arriving in London in just three days. We immediately reached out to our network to identify the most suitable properties and scheduled viewings, curating a bespoke tour of the top options.
Results and outcomes
On the day of viewings, we presented seven properties, one of which perfectly matched the client's vision. We successfully negotiated a 7% discount on the purchase price and immediately initiated the buying process with our trusted solicitor and surveyor to ensure rapid progress. Following the survey, we identified areas for further negotiation and achieved additional price reductions. To assist with planned cosmetic renovations, we introduced our client to a reliable contractor, facilitating a seamless transition to post-completion work.
