Property Search Service

We understand that buying a home as opposed to an investment are very different in many ways. To this end we place great emphasis on understanding the many important individual lifestyle factors specific to you which will ultimately determine your choice of a home. This detailed analysis will save you a lot of time and money.

We understand the real values of residential and commercial property investments across London. We are thus well placed to help you find the right residential or commercial investment property that will yield results in terms of regular income and capital appreciation upon exit.

We will provide you with an appraisal of likely rental prices, current and projected rental yields and projected re-sale prices for each property we send to you on the shortlist. This will save you time and also help you avoid making the wrong purchase.

Upon completion of your purchase our Commercial Letting Service or our Residential Letting Service will be well placed to secure professional and well vetted tenants for your new investment.

London has long been seen as a desirable place internationally to invest in property. This is due to a number of factors to include:

• The geographical and geopolitical location
• The dynamic local economy
• The high demand for rental and resale properties from a growing population
• The financial and banking markets
• The many historical connections the UK has with other countries
• The many social activities on offer
