A Rental case study in Mile End, London, UK
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.

Our clients, a very busy professional couple—a banker and an M&A lawyer—were looking to move before their daughter started nursery in September. Their current apartment had become too small and lacked sufficient storage. They needed a new home that met specific criteria, including excellent insulation, double glazing, ideally a top-floor location with lifts, greenery views, and a quiet setting away from busy roads due to their noise sensitivity.

A Purchase case study in Belsize Park
Our client, a family of four, had been residing in Marylebone for ten years. With their children growing and some savings accumulated, they made the decision to invest in their next home. Juggling busy schedules filled with regular travels and family commitments, they found themselves with no time to dedicate to the exhaustive search process—calling multiple agencies, arranging and attending viewings. Given that this investment represented one of the largest they would make in a country where they were expatriates, they were eager to have guidance throughout the process without any hesitation. We were delighted to assist them throughout the entire acquisition process.
