Our Clients
Our clients are used to outperforming whatever market or sector they have specialized in, however London’s property market represents a fresh challenge.
Mainly they are concerned about three things:
Missing out
Over-paying
Wasting time
Our clients are in need of more than just financial value. Ultimately they are looking for support in navigating complex terrain, and they appreciate and expect an excellent customer experience - the kind that they enjoy elsewhere in their lives.
The London property industry is unfamiliar territory at the best of times. No matter where the buyer is based, they will only make this kind of purchase on a handful of occasions in their lifetime. With the property market in constant flux, the process is full of potential pitfalls, amidst increasingly fast-paced regulatory change.
Having representatives who are in constant dialogue with all stakeholders is essential at all price brackets in the market, where the wrong approach can lead to significant swings in price. Despite having outperformed markets elsewhere, buyers are often vulnerable to the harder commercial edges of London estate agencies, and potentially seriously out of pocket.
The right representation negotiates on the client’s behalf, and protects the buyer from any lack of clarity and in the worst cases, manipulation and financial loss.
As such they are in need of guidance in a highly changeable and unfamiliar marketplace, and we are here to provide it.
“It has been a great pleasure to work with Karim. He is honest, reliable, hardworking and, most importantly, has excellent knowledge of the central London property market. By taking the time to really understand exactly what I was looking for he quickly found the perfect property. His tenacious persistence in helping with acquisition negotiations has been instrumental in converting the search into a successful exchange.”
