Our Search & Acquisition team have secured a stunning new build townhouse in Belsize Park for our clients, a family looking to upsize while prioritising their children's school commute. Initially open to all property types, they soon realised that period conversions - while charming - didn’t offer the modern comforts they had grown accustomed to in their previous new build apartment. They needed extra space but didn’t want to compromise on features such as air conditioning, off street parking or a private roof terrace. After an exhaustive market search, we identified a rare new build townhouse that perfectly matched their needs. It provided the additional square footage they required while maintaining the conveniences they valued, including a lift and garage. Following strategic advice and negotiations, we secured a competitive price. To ensure a smooth transition, our Home Management team is now assisting them with the household set up and ongoing maintenance and management. Another successful property search and another happy client embarking on their next chapter. #Eccord #LondonPropertyAdvisors #LondonBuyingAgent #FindingAPropertyInLondon #LondonRealEstateAdvisor

In Jo Eccles’ most recent The Telegraph column, she wrote about the shift in prime and super prime buyers. Previously, the majority of super prime buyers had steadily accumulated wealth over a long term career. However, the average age of a buyer spending £25m or more, has fallen from 53 a decade ago to just 41 years old, and the majority of clients we’ve worked with in recent years spending £20m or more, have been in their 30s or 40s. Most have accumulated their wealth over much shorter periods than their predecessors and my column explains how these younger buyers are shaping the market, including the pressures and challenges they face adjusting to their new-found wealth and navigating London’s complex property market for the first time. The Telegraph reported that this has been one of her most read columns, which indicates the high level of interest in this topic.

Thank you Anum Shahab, CFA, Saydam Salaheddin, Deutsche Bank Private Bank for having me. It was an excellent morning sharing my insight with you and your clients.

Offers for secondary day school places were recently released and families are now in a position to put down long term roots, knowing where their children will be at school for the next six to eight years. Families will often wait until Spring before starting their home search, when more properties are on the open market. However, for those who start looking early, many properties can be purchased off market now. Selling agents already know which properties are going to come on in spring, and landlords whose tenancies are ending this summer are also open to early sales discussions, so early purchase opportunity is there. We are negotiating on and have agreed several off market purchases for clients over the past weeks through this route, particularly in the £3m - £10m price range. If you're considering school choices and property options surrounding it, please read a joint blog we did with the fabulous Catriona Sutherland-Hawes Oppidan Education. #Eccord #LondonPropertyAdvisors #LondonBuyingAgent #LondonRealEstateAdvisor

Our Search & Acquisition team have just secured an exceptional lateral apartment in Holland Park for an entrepreneur client of ours. He was initially deliberating whether to rent or buy, but with our advice and guidance we helped him reach a confident decision which was to rent for an initial two years, before making a longer-term lifestyle and financial commitment. With his extensive travel schedule, he had little time for a lengthy property search and multiple viewing rounds. We successfully secured his first-choice apartment, a large apartment in Holland Park — a location he had always loved. Recognising his need for flexibility, we negotiated favourable tenancy terms, allowing him to remain in the property until he is ready to buy. More than 30% of our clients are entrepreneurs and it’s always a privilege to help them transition into a new property after a wealth event or company exit, understanding the considerations that come with it. #Eccord #LondonPropertyAdvisors #LondonBuyingAgent #LondonRealEstateAdvisor #FindingAPropertyInLondon
