“Our clients engage our services to achieve results they couldn’t accomplish themselves, whether that’s accessing a particular property, securing a more competitive price – or both.”

JO ECCLES, FOUNDER AND MANAGING DIRECTOR

We are your team

Every brief is highly individual and we’re here to guide and expertly represent you.

You at the centre 

As your team, we focus on understanding you and your requirements. We’ll listen carefully and think creatively. 


Confident decision making

Our role is to bring intricate knowledge, ideas and efficiency to the process to enable you to have complete confidence in your decision-making.

Achieve your best outcome

We’re here to ensure you achieve your best outcome, opening doors you wouldn’t have access to or perhaps have considered, and making sure you choose wisely and buy the best property at the most competitive price.

Access more properties

We gain access to properties our clients wouldn’t otherwise know of

Our exceptional network

For nearly two decades we have nurtured our network across the property industry, private sellers and bank lending teams, which gives us access to properties impossible to find as an individual.

A forensic approach

In addition to searching across the best properties on the open market, we forensically comb sales and lettings archives to identify and carefully navigate direct approaches on properties which aren’t formally for sale.


Our independence is your advantage

As one of the only buying agents who acts solely for buyers – and not sellers – we gain our clients access to the best properties with nothing held back. The selling agents proactively work with us to create potential buying opportunities, as we don’t compete with them.

Your expert advantage

We are one of the most established and influential buying agents in the industry.

Recognised Reputation

Our reputation and track record means the clients we represent are prioritised, gaining you access to a wider pool of properties and the offers we make are taken more seriously. This means securing better properties at more competitive prices.

Expert negotiators

Property negotiation is nuanced, unique and requires tact. Our credibility, conduct and strategy throughout the search, viewings and negotiations all play a key role in our track record for achieving the most successful outcomes. Our clients win the majority of competitive bidding situations even when they are not the highest or strongest bidder.

Speed to completion

We assemble a team of the most effective industry professionals, tried and tested over decades, to oversee all legal and technical matters and due diligence. As a single point of contact we manage all parties to expertly navigate and fast-track your transaction.

Settling you in

We pride ourselves on building long term client relationships and delivering exceptional service and superior results. We go the extra mile to make your move as seamless as possible, including setting up utility accounts and compiling a detailed household handbook of everything you need to know about the property.
