A Rental case study in York Terrace West, Marylebone
Case study background and context
We assisted this particular client on a previous occasion. They had to vacate their current residence due to the unbearable construction work taking place nearby. Subsequently, they reached out to us once more, seeking our expertise in locating a new rental property.
Property search criteria
- 3 bed
- Quiet environment
- Bright and airy
- Top floor exclusively
The challenge
The key factor guiding our search was their desire to remain in the Marylebone area, not too distant from their previous residence as they had established routines and familiarity in this neighbourhood, including walking to the children's school. Therefore, maintaining proximity to these aspects of their lives was of paramount importance to our clients.
Results and outcomes
After an exhaustive five weeks of relentless searching, constant calls, and persistent emails to all the agencies in Marylebone, our diligence paid off. A dedicated agent, promptly contacted us just before the ideal property hit the market. We were the very first to view the property and extend an offer, putting us in a favorable position in the competitive rental market.
The key to success
A combination of persistence, timely communication, and proactive engagement contributed to the success of efficiently finding and securing the ideal rental property for our clients.

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.
