Marketing and Letting your property

We can offer you all the benefits you should rightly expect of a top London estate agency:

Size matters

We pride ourselves on our size. Our size is small. We do not have offices all over London and we do not have numerous departments. We stick to what we are best at – providing core property services in the most exclusive areas of prime central London from our offices in Sloane Street.

When you need to know something, you can ring the office and speak to someone who will have first-hand knowledge of your property and immediate access to the information you require. We will provide you with regular feedback after viewings and keep you updated on the progress of the rental of your property.

Knowledge is power

There is very little we do not know about the market in prime central London – who is renting, who is letting, how the economy and micro-economies are affecting the market, current rental returns, price movements on a street-by-street, block-by-block basis. The advice you receive from us is based on an extensive knowlege of the market, while our professional department can provide you with vital information about lease extensions and valuations.

This means we can give you an extremely accurate picture of price and timescales, allowing you to make sound decisions.

Database of tenants

We have an active database of tenants who are looking for property in the central London area and coupled with excellent associations with the many relocation agents who are searching for property on behalf of clients. Contact is made with existing potential tenants immediately we are instructed.

Web presence

The Internet is increasingly the first point of contact for people searching for London property. All new property is immediately uploaded onto our website and all the leading property portals including Primelocation, Rightmove, Zoopla , Findaproperty and Property Live, ensuring maximum web presence for your property.

Print presence

Despite the growth of the Internet, print media is still a powerful medium for gaining exposure. Our marketing budgets allow for maximum exposure for our clients' properties both nationally and internationally. We also have an independent PR resource securing editorial in all the leading property publications and national press.

We cover the full range of properties from the smallest apartment, to the largest houses, and we also offer advice on purchasing suitable properties and how to present them to make the most of your investment.
