A full range of property to rent in London
Our offices are located in the best parts of London dealing with a range of residential rental properties
from studio flats and city lofts to grand conversions in period homes, to town houses and ambassadorial
residences. We also handle many new blocks, some currently in the course of construction, in many
cases as sole agents. We work directly for a number of the UK's leading developers renting unsold units
not available anywhere else in the market.
Corporate connections
Over the past 50 years we have provided rentals in London for people from most top FTSE and Fortune
500 companies. Renowned international corporations trust us, exclusively, to find houses, flats and
apartments to rent in London for their executives. We work closely with major relocation agencies,
many of whom consult us first, due to our long establishment, extensive register of property to rent in
London and the important fact that we are the only independent major firm who specialises in residential
lettings.
Marketing our properties plays a key role
Unlike most estate agents who give priority to selling, and regard residential lettings as a sideline service, we are dedicated exclusively to lettings in london and managing fine homes.
Advertising
Advertising is imperative and we know precisely where to place adverts whether it be in the local, national
or international press, in the glossies or dedicated property publications.
Our in-house marketing department, in liaison with a public relations agency, guarantees maximum exposure through the media on a regular basis. This attracts a fund of new clients / tenants, supplementing our long-standing links with international banks, multinational corporations and other businesses with on-going staff relocation needs. We also publish our highly regarded in-house Investors Review, keeping landlords apprised of market trends. So as to leave no stone unturned, we regularly canvass almost 200,000 central London homes.

Tailor made Property Management
Our tailor made, comprehensive Property Management is an integral part of our residential lettings service
– this department has grown considerably over the last 50 years to the need for a centralised
management centre which we opened in 2007.
Having found a tenant we look after them throughout the tenancy which includes everything from collecting rent and handling all administration to assistance with more complex issues and the provision of a 24 hour emergency helpline.
Our property managers ensure Landlords can hand us their keys knowing they will be kept ahead of changes in legislation, that their rental property will be proactively managed and that problems are dealt with promptly and cost effectively - ensuring continuity of rent and effective maintenance.

things resolved in a quick and timely matter. I only work with two agents believe it or not for the
same client as this is a pretty big portfolio."
