As Temperatures Drop, The Property Market Is Hotting Up!
Wow what a difference a few weeks make! Last month’s sales list was possibly one of the thinnest on record – thankfully this month’s is much more robust. As we moved into September the drought was broken and the phones didn’t stop ringing. We have more than doubled the number of available instructions which should […]

Lettings Market Is Raring To Go…
Whilst London played the delighted host of the summer Olympics, the Lettings market awakened from its summer slumber. After an expectedly quiet July, we found August brought Tenants for properties up to £900 per week in their droves – especially for 2 and 3 bedroom flats and houses ideal for sharers.

The London Olympics Aftermath
The Olympics have now come and gone – what a great success! Whilst I am sure many of us had our doubts, I think we can all agree that Londoners have something to be proud of, and yet further reason for London to be celebrated and recognised.

Rain Or Shine, London Is Always The City To Be In

Letting the perfect home need not be an olympic task!
An extraordinary amount of activity through June has seen a healthy turnover of stock across central London so if you have been looking for some time, you should now see some new properties to choose from. We have seen particular demand for one and two bedroom pied-a-terres around Hyde Park as well as family houses […]

Magnificent May Properties
Following the warmest March since records began, we have experienced what surely must have been the wettest April since the phrase ‘April showers’ was coined! I am very pleased to report that it has done little to dampen the Lettings market. In fact following a fairly slow start to 2012, we are very busy indeed. […]

The central London residential sales sector continues to remain short of stock and buyers are often having to compromise in order to successfully achieve their objectives. The Marylebone office, in which I am based, has had an unprecedented first quarter, having sold a variety of properties, mostly in under three viewings, since astute buyers know […]

Be Prepared
Lettings can be a confusing and often legally complicated process, especially when you first start looking for a property. So many properties not to mention estate agents to choose from and that is before you start considering your budget, requirements, location, schools, tube links etc. The list is seemingly endless.

New Year, New Home!
2011 experienced quite dramatic peaks and troughs in London Lettings and indeed this time 12 months ago, there was a serious shortage of properties. Agents across London just could not meet the demand and as a result Landlords were achieving over asking price rents for the first time in 18 months!

A wider variety of properties to choose from
Would you like to move before Christmas? Yes? Then have we got a fantastic selection of properties for you! Traditionally December is more quiet as less people look to move so beat the January rush and start looking today. One of our ARLA qualified Negotiators will be happy to help.
