The best homes in London are sold quietly.

Fourteen people, one office on Weymouth Street. Seven in ten of the homes we sell are agreed before a listing exists: offered to eight or ten buyers from our register, and to nobody else.

Request a valuationHow we work

How we sell

Most of our sales are never advertised.

Sellers come to us to stay off the portals. Buyers come because the good houses never reach them.

Off the market

Around seven in ten of our sales complete before any listing exists. When a home of ours does go public, it is a decision, not a last resort.

A shorter list

We keep a register of roughly three hundred proven buyers. The right home is offered to eight or ten of them. Nobody else hears of it.

One price, held

We price from evidence and hold the line. Since 2011 we have cut a guide price eleven times in total. Buyers notice. It is why our word carries.

Offered privately

A few we can show you.

And one we cannot. The list moves quickly; treat this as a sample, current as of this month.

Notes

Notes from a quiet market.

  • A Georgian front door on a quiet Marylebone street at first light, no signage and no board, nobody about

    Why the best homes in London never reach a portal

    By the time a house is advertised, the buyers who mattered have already seen it. The portal gets what the register passed on.

  • A leather-bound register open on a hall table beside a brass lamp and a set of keys, against a cream wall

    What a short register of buyers actually buys you

    Eight of them hear about your house. Nobody else does. Here is what that changes about the price.

    The valuation nobody wants is the honest one

    Any agent can win the instruction by flattering the number. The house then sits there proving them wrong.

Two ways in.

For sellers

Sell without the circus.

Your home is valued in person and offered to a handful of proven buyers. No photography on the portals, no board at the gate, no strangers on a Saturday.

For buyers

Join the register.

Tell us precisely what you are looking for, down to the street. When it exists, you hear about it first. Sometimes before the owner has quite decided to sell.

Write to us with your brief

For sellers

What is it worth?

One partner, one visit, one figure — and the reasoning behind it in writing. We do not send a junior with an iPad, and we will tell you if the number you have been quoted elsewhere is a fantasy.

Most valuations happen within the week, and about a third of them end with us advising the owner not to sell yet.
