Looking to sell your London property?

We can help developers, homeowners and landlords looking to sell property in London. With our experience, we provide access to two essentials: the right price and genuine buyers.

Our approach is unique. We work with investment organisations worldwide. Many are experienced investors actively expanding their portfolios. Through these relationships, we introduce your property directly to buyers who are both serious and financially capable.

We bring over sixty years of experience in London, established local resources and strong online marketing capabilities. This combination allows us to support homeowners looking to maximise their property's value.

We will give you an honest assessment of your property's value and its most likely buyer group. We will also:

  • Advise on ways to increase your property's value in London
  • Remain realistic in our approach, working towards a positive and satisfactory outcome for the clients who trust us

Frequently asked questions

When selling a property, you should budget for the following:

  • Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) — required by law before any residential property can be listed for sale
  • Agent commission — a percentage of the sale price plus VAT, charged after exchange of contracts
  • Legal fees — these vary depending on the size of the property and type of sale. Your solicitor will advise on the likely costs in advance

Marketing expenses are included within our commission. Should any additional advertising or promotion be required, this will be discussed and agreed with you in advance before any charge is applied.

Not necessarily. Our sales team can conduct scheduled viewings on your behalf, provided access to the property has been arranged. Your presence is only required if you choose to attend.

No. Stamp duty is payable by the buyer, at the rates set by HMRC.

We recommend reviewing the guidance provided by the Land Registry and Action Fraud, both of which offer practical advice on protecting yourself.

You will not be liable for CGT on a property that is your main residence, provided it meets the relevant criteria. If the property is not your main home, CGT will typically apply. Overseas investors can find further detail in our comprehensive Tax Guide.

We provide up-to-date, real-time valuation reports to help price your property accurately. Alternatively, our online valuation service offers a quicker initial estimate.
