About us

"I founded Eccord to deliver expert representation for individuals and families buying and renting property in prime central London.

Since 2006 we have acquired more than 400 properties, navigating every client through each stage of the process to ensure they access off-market opportunities, make informed choices, and secure the most competitive outcome.

In response to client demand, we also have a highly experienced in-house property management service and we now manage over 150 rental investments and private homes, providing a seamless, end-to-end experience for our clients.

Trusted by individuals, families and global companies, we are recognised as one of London’s most highly regarded property advisors

At the heart of our success is a commitment to exceptional client service, deep market insight, and a proven ability to achieve results that others can’t."
