How we work

How we work

Every property search is unique. And every search reflects that.

Whether you are looking to buy or rent before we start the search, we first take the time to understand your needs, your personal tastes, your circumstances, and exactly what you’re looking for.We balance an awareness of the needs of our clients with an understanding of the London property market, ensuring a property search that aims to find the best property to suit you, your taste, and your circumstances.

  1. Laying the Foundation: Ahead of starting your search, you need to ready to buy, rent, or relocate. There are many implications, some are legal, others relate to tax, and of course, your budget. We can advise and where necessary we can introduce you to mortgage brokers, solicitors, etc to take as much stress as possible out of the process for you. 

  2. The Search: Next, we go through our network to proactively hunt for and preview potential properties, showing you only the shortlisted very best properties that meet your criteria, saving you the time and frustration that is often associated with finding a property in London. We will then organize viewings tours at a time that is convenient for you. 
  1. Due Diligence & Negotiation: When you’ve found your perfect property, we will undertake a thorough due diligence to give you the peace of mind you need. We will then start to negotiate the price on your behalf. Unlike estate agents, who work for the seller/ landlord, we work for you, which means we will guide you to take as much stress as possible and ensure that you pay the best possible price to secure the property. 
  1. Execution: 'I've got my house thanks to Address', 'Address went the extra mile to negotiate and to secure my house' - these are some of the comments we get from satisfied clients. Execution is key to what we do. Many people think that the process is done when a property has been found, but actually, the hard work starts once you make an offer. We have the experience, skill, and knowledge to ensure a smooth transaction taking all the stress and strain of dealing with solicitors, surveyors and other third parties, whilst keeping you updated on progress. 
  1. One point of Contact: Throughout the whole process, you will have one point of contact. We will be your partner to make the process of buying or renting a property in London as simple as possible.

Off Market Properties in London

Looking to move to London but do not know London well?

Many years ago we were in your position. We needed help to relocate to London. We worked with a corporate relocation consultant. They helped us find a property but looking back we realized that there was potential to offer a better service and give access to better properties.

Address Property Consultants started as a relocation agent and since 2012 has helped many families and individuals to find a home in Central London, establishing a reputation for providing a top-quality relocation service with a personal touch.

What sets us apart is our international background which means we can bridge the gap between your standards and what is available in London so you can view properties that appeal to you and serve your needs.

London is the aggregate of various villages with distinct options in each one. If you do now know London, we can guide you. We have the local knowledge to help you discover the best areas and hidden gems in each one.

We have particular expertise in supporting families relocating to London, including those with particular schooling needs. As parents ourselves, we recognize that finding the right school plays a crucial role in determining the success of a relocation, as a child’s happiness and welfare are at the heart of every parent’s wish list.

Having navigated the whole educational system as a foreigner we know that the UK educational system is very unique and can be difficult to understand. At Address Property Consultants we can help you navigate the educational system which offers lots of choices.

We are experienced guiding families through this competitive landscape. Alongside our expert advice, we can connect you with leading school consultants for dedicated
support not just to get your child to a good school but for your child to make the most out of it.

Who & What are Buying Agents?

Who & what are buying agents (also known as property consultants, property finders or relo agents)?

A useful guide from the Home Owners Alliance: What are buying agents?

I would add that a good buying agent will also ensure there is smooth execution (around 30% of all transactions fail to complete).
Particularly towards the end of 2022 when mortgages started to change unexpectedly, the number transactions failing to complete increased.
It is not only buyers or sellers changing their minds but we see a surprinsingly high number of transactions failing because of the solicitors or surveyors.
Having a good buying agent with a good reputation will certainly keep the dialogue open and make sure that everybody involved does what
they are meant to do. 

A good buying agent will also ensure that if you are going to part with (what to most people is) a ‘big sum of money’ this is a good investment.
The number need to make sense. A reputable buying agent will tell their client if something is good value (or not). And if it can be negotiated down (or not).

And yes, a fee is involved (nobody works for free!) but as mentioned there a buying agent may negotiate a much better price than you would have been able to have got yourself, and save you time and stress. 

2023 is going to be a buyers' market for most postcodes, make that advantage go further with the right advice.

Ps: Address is not listed on that list (it reads that there are 1000 buying agents in the UK) but we have been around for many years and mostly work through word of mouth - because a satisfied client is the best publicity. Every search Address carries out is undertaken as it we were to buy the property for ourselves.
