A Rental case study in Mile End, East London
Case study background and context
Our client, a single professional, was relocating from Amsterdam to London within the same company. During the transition, she was covering both her current and new positions, leaving her with no time to contact agencies or arrange viewings in multiple areas. In addition, she knew London as a tourist but she never lived in London. She needed assistance finding a new home in the best area that met specific criteria.
Property search criteria
- 1 bed
- Large windows for ample natural light
- Proximity to a tube station
- Bedroom at the back of the house or on a quiet road
- Close to workout studios and facilities
- Location: Shoreditch, Mile End/Bow, or near Tower/London Bridge
The challenge
The main challenge was to efficiently find a suitable apartment that met all her criteria within her budget and limited timeframe, across three different areas. Coordinating viewings and negotiating terms on her behalf was crucial due to her busy schedule.
Results and outcomes
Our client's favorite option was an exclusive off-market listing that ticked all the boxes. We rearranged access for her and her friend to view it the following Saturday. After confirming it was the ideal apartment, we made an offer and secured it below the asking price, with a two-year lease and no rent increase.
The key to success
Within just 10 days, we organised viewings in one afternoon, secured an exclusive off-market listing, and arranged a follow-up viewing on a Saturday. Our negotiation skills landed a deal below the asking price with a stable two-year lease. The client was thrilled, dedicating only a little time to the search while we managed everything else, ensuring a seamless and stress-free relocation.

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.
