HOW IT WORKS
Our process
Brief
A confidential consultation - your budget, locations, must-haves and dealbreakers. We write it back to you so we're working off the same brief.
Search
Active search across Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket, our own database and direct outreach to other agents - including the off-market portion of the market.
Shortlist
We visit and pre-qualify everything before you do, sending you a tight shortlist with our honest view of each - including the ones we think you should skip.
Acquisition
Negotiation on your behalf, survey and solicitor coordination, and full sale-progression all the way through to completion.
BUYER BENEFITS
What you get from the service
The off-market half
A meaningful share of prime NW London property never reaches the portals. We hear about it first - and so do you.
Time back
We do the discovery, the calls, the diary management and the early viewings. You see only the shortlist worth your time.
Local insight
Schools, transport, planning, conservation, road by road. We tell you what the listing won't.
Negotiation strength
Negotiating against an agent is hard. Having one on your side levels the conversation - and usually pays for the service many times over.
Survey & legal triage
We instruct trusted surveyors and solicitors on your behalf and help you interpret the reports calmly.
No conflict
You are our only client in the transaction. The seller has their agent - you have us.
FAQ

Yes - Harrow, Pinner, Northwood, Wembley, Kenton, Ruislip, Watford and the surrounding postcodes are our core area. We can also work further afield by arrangement.
No - that's the point. We filter ruthlessly so you only see homes that genuinely fit the brief. You will, of course, always know what we considered and ruled out.
We don't lend, but we work alongside a small panel of trusted mortgage brokers and can introduce you when helpful.
Most clients identify and offer on a property within eight to sixteen weeks, depending on brief specificity and market conditions.
