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.

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.
