International Buyers

We pride ourselves on assisting buyers from the UK and internationally in their commercial or residential property search. Our team members speak fluently in a number of languages including English, Arabic and Greek and are able to make recommendations based on individual investment objectives. Our full understanding of these cultures also allows us to sensitively, and discreetly add value to working partnerships.

We regularly oversee high-profile acquisitions from Middle Eastern property investors, both in the UK and abroad and offer a comprehensive service managing the buying process from start to finish. As a small family-run business we act independently, on your behalf, using our local insight to source suitable properties across the market regardless of the agent a property is listed with. Our aim is to make the process of finding and buying a property in London as stress-free as possible.

We are able to visit properties on your behalf and schedule viewings of chosen properties to prevent wasted journeys to the UK, and during the buying process we can negotiate on your behalf and help with lawyers, conveyancers and Chartered Surveyors. If your property needs renovating or has interior design requirements we can also manage this process.

Why buy in London?

As a world class city, London is targeted by overseas investors and is home to a large number of international residents. The UK’s education system, healthcare, shopping, business considerations and long-term capital preservation are the important factors that make London a top property investment destination for many Middle Eastern high-net-worth individuals. In fact the latest research shows that in the £10 million segment Middle Eastern buyers accounted for 19.6% of buyers in London in 2019, up from 16.3% the previous year.

London is also positioned in second place, behind New York, in the World Economic Forum’s 2020 Global Talent Competitiveness Index for cities, a measure of a city’s ability to grow, attract and retain talent.

Innovation and education are key drivers of economic growth, and are fundamental to attracting and retaining talent and wealth. The quality of education on offer in London has global appeal, with international students accounting for 53% of those attending London’s top 200 universities. This pool of talent means businesses are drawn to the city to harness the skills and innovation that London is able to generate. The capital’s growing population and number of STEM roles (science, technology, engineering and maths roles) are supporting the continued growth of innovation and knowledge clusters around the city stretching to key suburbs including Twickenham, Richmond and areas in Surrey.

London is also at the centre of the global tech explosion, emerging as the world’s fastest growing tech scale up cluster, while the UK has spawned 35% of Europe and Israel’s 169 Unicorn tech businesses - privately held startup companies valued at over $1 billion.

London’s unique blend of innovation, education, and people is the draw that will sustain demand for properties from international investors for decades to come.
