A Purchase case study in Marlborough Road, Richmond
Case study background and context
Our client was drawn to Richmond for its lush green landscapes, picturesque hillside views, and its close proximity to the River Thames. Additionally, the presence of outstanding schools in the area was a significant factor. The key criteria was to live in in the catchment area of the best primary school in Richmond.
Property search criteria
- 2 bed
- Within the catchment area of the Vineyard rated Outstanding
- Area: Richmond
- Budget: £1,000,000
The challenge
Our challenges included finding first a rental property that offered a 6-month break clause, providing our client with the flexibility to transition to their purchased property as needed. Following this, we began our search for their future home, meticulously coordinating each step in the process. Simultaneously, we needed to ensure that both the rental property and the prospective purchase were located within the desired school's catchment area.
Results and outcomes
We paid special attention to the rental property's location, ensuring it fell within the highly-rated Vineyard catchment area, as per OFSTED's rating. The property we've found for them to buy was situated within the catchment area of both the desired primary and secondary schools. Furthermore, this property boasted an approved planning permission for a loft conversion, enhancing its potential.
The key to success
The key to success can be attributed to careful coordination, effective negotiation, thorough research and planning, expertise, and industry knowledge, as well as flexibility and adaptability. These elements collectively ensured a successful property search process that aligned with the client's unique requirements and goals.

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.
