A Purchase case study in Maida Vale, North West London
Our proactive approach, market expertise, and strong negotiation delivered a fast, hassle-free result—helping our client secure her ideal home in just 3 weeks. Let us do the same for you.
Case study background and context
Our client, a single woman with grown-up children, had been searching for months, but after two failed offers—one due to a major leak issue—she was exhausted and short on time. Despite living in London for over 20 years, she was unfamiliar with North West and West London, areas we know very well. She turned to us for expert guidance to find the perfect home, and we stepped in to streamline the process.
Property search criteria
- 3 double bed
- Quiet, with green views
- Upper floors
The challenge
After months of searching and two failed offers, the client was exhausted and short on time, so we aimed to be as efficient as possible. Having explored most available properties, we needed to think creatively and explore alternative areas and off-market opportunities and under offer properties. To expand options, we used our competitive advantage to focus on lesser-known areas, using our network to access the off-market properties that fit her needs.
Results and outcomes
Within just 3 weeks of searching, we secured a property that met all her criteria, with her offer accepted. We successfully negotiated a price reduction from the asking price, ensuring she got a fair deal. We ensured a seamless conveyancing process, minimising her involvement with the stakeholders, allowing the client to focus on her other commitments without added stress.
The key to success
We expanded the search beyond our client initial areas, uncovering hidden gems that perfectly matched her needs. Our skilful negotiation not only secured a price reduction but also gave the seller confidence in our client’s offer. From legal steps to surveys, we coordinated everything efficiently, ensuring a smooth, stress-free experience for our time-poor client.

A Rental case study in Grosvenor Square, Mayfair
Our client, a director of a successful real estate company, was expanding his operations into the UK and required a London base that reflected both his professional stature and his family’s lifestyle. While he would reside in London, his wife and son would remain in Geneva, visiting during weekends and holidays. Beyond finding a home, he also needed trusted connections to help establish his business presence in the UK — from legal support to banking, tax optimisation and immigration matters. As a French-speaking executive entering the London market, he relied on us not only as property finders but as his primary connector to the right professionals.

A Rental case study in Knightsbridge, London
Our client, the newly appointed CEO of a prestigious portfolio of landmark luxury hotels, was relocating from Paris to London. With an international schedule, high expectations, and limited time, he needed a seamless relocation and a home that matched both his lifestyle and professional demands. On top of the usual criteria, he was moving with his small, well-travelled dog — an adorable senior companion with his own Instagram profile — which added an extra layer of complexity in a city where pet-friendly rentals at the luxury level can be extremely limited. Given his responsibilities and the competitive London market, using a dedicated property finder wasn’t a luxury — it was essential.

A Rental case study in Canada Water, London
Our client, a senior banker relocating from Switzerland, needed to secure a London home within one week while managing a strict overall budget. With a rental cap of £1,850 pcm — leaving room for bills to stay near his £2,000 monthly target — affordability and value were key. Due to an extremely demanding schedule, he could not travel to London for viewings, giving him just one week to identify a property and sign a contract remotely. He relied entirely on our expertise, speed, and trusted guidance to make the right decision without ever visiting in person.
