Distance changes your risk
Buying from abroad means relying on information filtered through selling agents, making decisions across time zones, and committing to viewings with limited flexibility.
Our role is to act on your behalf, on the ground, in London.
Your position is represented at every stage.
The challenges you face
International buyers routinely encounter compounding disadvantages.
- Seeing suitable homes too late
- Relying on listings that hide important detail
- Uncertainty over true value at street level
- Short trips where every decision feels rushed
- Offers made without clear view of competition
Distance does not remove your need for judgement.
It removes your proximity to the information that informs it.
We provide that local presence.
Viewings and preview visits
When properties meet your brief, we coordinate viewings around your travel schedule.
If you cannot visit immediately, we preview on your behalf — providing detailed feedback, photographs, video, and the context listings never include.
You only travel for homes that genuinely warrant your time.
From offer to completion
When the right property emerges, we handle the approach, negotiation, and offer process in real time.
Once terms are agreed, we coordinate with your solicitor, surveyor, and mortgage broker.
We flag issues early and maintain momentum through to completion.
You do not need to be in London throughout.
Results-only fee
Our fee is payable only on successful completion.
No upfront costs, no retainers, no charge if a purchase does not proceed.
Our interests remain fully aligned with yours.
