A strategic partner, not just a buying agent

We approach investment property acquisition with the same rigour, discretion and market intelligence that define our work for private clients.

From advising on value, rental demand and tax considerations (via our trusted network) to securing the most competitive terms and managing the entire transaction, we act as your strategic partner from the first consultation through to long-term asset management.

Our clients include professionals acquiring their first rental property, family offices seeking stable long-term holdings, and international investors requiring UK representation. Each brief is individual. Our role is to deliver results that would not otherwise be achievable

Trusted by discerning investors

We have represented:

●  FTSE 100 and Fortune 500 executives

●  Global entrepreneurs and venture partners

●  Philanthropists and multi-generational family offices

●  International clients acquiring UK holdings for family members, relocation purposes or capital security

Tailored search to match your investment goals

Our clients invest in London property for many reasons. Some are focused on generating long-term income, others on preserving capital through tangible assets or diversifying an existing portfolio. Many are acquiring a future base in the UK. We also advise clients purchasing on behalf of family members or planning for future relocation, as well as those prioritising tax efficiency, tenant appeal, or development potential.

Whatever your objective may be, we shape our strategy around your goals, advising on the right locations, the most suitable asset profiles, and the long-term considerations that will influence performance and value. Where required, we collaborate with trusted legal and tax specialists to ensure your acquisition is structured appropriately from the outset.

Access to Off-Market Property

In Prime Central London, many homes, particularly those valued above £10 million, often change hands without ever appearing on the open market. At Eccord, we are regularly approached with these opportunities as a result of our long-standing reputation and trusted position within the industry.

Last year, 67% of our acquisitions were secured off market, reflecting the importance of relationships and the discretion with which we represent our clients.

When the brief is a strong match, we are able to provide early access to investment properties that are shared privately or introduced through closed networks. Our role is to guide you through this discreet section of the market, ensuring that the right opportunities are surfaced and assessed with care.

Creating a relationship built to last

Beyond acquisition, we remain available to support you throughout ownership. For investors requiring ongoing oversight, our in-house Property Management team can manage lettings, compliance, tenancy support and household administration on your behalf.

For refurbishment or improvement projects, we coordinate with our trusted partners in architecture, interior design and construction to maximise value and minimise disruption.

“Our reputation provides a competitive edge. It elevates our clients’ position in competitive bidding and unlocks opportunities that are not available to individual buyers.”

Your investment, expertly acquired

We represent your interests - discreetly, strategically, and without compromise. From sourcing the right property to managing every detail of the acquisition, our role is to deliver outcomes that would not be achievable without representation.
