Oil trader buying London pied a terre
Budget
£5m
Our British clients, in the midst of a major renovation of their country home, were seeking a London pied-à-terre in excellent condition to avoid additional work.
They had been searching themselves for 6 months and found it challenging, including being gazumped the day before exchange on one property. Recognising the need for expert representation, their wealth manager recommended us.
We began by showing them a range of architectural styles and property types, educating them on the various price points to ensure they were fully informed on their options. Through this process, we pinpointed specific streets that would provide the internal and external space their family needed.
Aware of an immaculate turnkey house soon to hit the market, we lined up our client to be the first viewing on the day it launched. Thanks to the thorough process we had taken them through, they felt confident to place an offer after just one viewing.
The house attracted significant interest, including offers from other buying agents. However, our client’s decisiveness and our reputation with the selling agent through previous transactions, enabled us to secure the property and avoid our client entering a sealed bid process, which would have required them to pay a higher price.
