Frequently asked

Working with Camilla

Still unsure whether a buying agent is right for you? Speak to Camilla for a confidential, no-obligation conversation.

A buying agent represents you – the buyer, not the seller. We help you find the right property, often before it reaches the open market, negotiating the best possible price, and managing the entire process – from lending to legals and more – right through to completion.

In the UK, estate agents represent the seller and are focused on achieving the highest price. They don’t represent the buyer – we do.

Access to off-market property is essential. Relying on property portals like Rightmove means you risk missing a large part of the market. In 2025, 73% of the properties we secured above £3 million were never publicly advertised.

Gaining access comes down to relationships, reputation and insight. We work closely with estate agents and owners, meaning our clients are often introduced to opportunities before they reach the open market. Sellers know we represent serious, qualified buyers – so we are often first in the door.

Many high-value properties are also kept off-market for privacy. Alongside our network, we use targeted search tools to identify properties that match our clients’ requirements before they are widely available.

A buying agent saves you time, reduces the risk of costly mistakes and gives you access to off-market opportunities, where more of the market now sits. We provide expert negotiation and market insight, guiding you through every stage of the buying process. We can also support relocation, helping international clients settle into the UK with ease.

Ultimately, we make sure you find the right property – and don’t buy the wrong one.

The difference is simple: estate agents represent the seller, while buying agents represent the buyer. We act entirely in your interests – from search through to negotiation and completion – ensuring you have expert representation at every stage.

We work across a wide range of property types, including apartments, family homes, penthouses and prime London properties, as well as investment and development opportunities, new build and period homes, and country houses, coastal properties and estates.

With over 100 years of combined experience, we cover the full spectrum.

While we are experts in Prime Central London, we also have a strong presence across the Home Counties, countryside and coast, along with access to sought-after international hotspots.

Wherever you’re looking, we guide you with the same level of expertise.
