As a small independent company run by the owners, we are able to tailor our service to your individual requirements. Just contact us and we will arrange to visit you to provide a market appraisal at your convenience, without any charge or commitment.
To give an accurate opinion on value it will be helpful for us to know some basic information about your property in advance. For example, it’s size, age, whether there is outside space and parking and what work you may have carried out.
If an apartment, the term of the lease, service charge information and whether you own a share of the freehold.
If requested, we can suggest improvements that may enhance saleability and offer our thoughts on the current property market and the best timing to maximize the price achieved.
We are also happy to offer advice in relation to any prospective purchase you have in mind and support you in coinciding the two if this is your preference.
If you’ve decided that you’d like us to sell your property, then you can formally instruct us – this paves the way for sales preparation and (hopefully!) the prompt and profitable sale of your home.
We will arrange for our professional photographer to take a selection of photographs, create a floorplan and prepare the EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) if required. We do not charge for the photographs or floorplans.

See how we’re different when it comes to fees, both from traditional estate agents and your typical online providers.
As you can see, there is no such thing as a ‘standard service’ and we are always flexible in our approach. This also applies to our fees. On a sole agency basis, our standard fees are very competitive at 0.75% of the sale price or 1.5% in competition with other agents (please note that vat is chargeable on estate agents’ fees).
However, we regularly tailor our fee structure at our client’s request. We are happy to operate on sliding scales linked to achieving agreed price expectations or to offer a fixed fee rather than a percentage, if this is a preference.
Unlike the online only agents who charge for purely listing your property, we operate on a ‘no sale- no fee basis’. This is because we think owners prefer their agent to be fully incentivised to actually sell their property.
We are also happy to delay payment until the completion of your sale. Ultimately, we want our clients to feel that the service they received was not only exceptional but also represented great value for money. This way we are far more likely to be recommended.
We have helped many people find their perfect home or investment property and appreciate the time and energy this crucial process takes for buyers so we also offer a personal search and acquisition service.
Between us, we have had over 20 years of property experience in the Borough of Richmond. As a result, we have an intimate knowledge of the area’s property stock and have developed a wide network of contacts. We are delighted to offer this professional experience to discerning buyers who cannot commit the time personally and would like local, expert assistance to secure the best property.
As we are specialists in both sales and lettings and provide a management service we are well placed to advise and assist those wishing to buy to let or just to help find a wonderful home.
There is significant work involved in providing a personal search service and to help progress a purchase through to completion, however you should not pay more just because your purchase price is higher, the work involved is the same after all.
Therefore, if you retain us to search on your behalf we charge a competitive flat fee of £5000 (+ vat) payable following a successful purchase. We only ask for an initial £500 (+ vat) upon instruction which we refund as a deduction from the full fee should you proceed with the purchase.
