Estates & Property Management

At TLC we believe that by putting our clients first and revolving our whole service around them, we create something different. Something better. It’s been the driving force of TLC from the start. Our “No Sale, No Fee” policy offers you peace of mind — we are only paid once a buyer has purchased your property.

​

Understanding Your Requirements

We will take great care to understand what you need from a property whether it be a home or an investment.  With a clear brief in mind, we will find you the property you want.  If you have not decided exactly where to buy or do not know what sort of property your budget will yield in different areas we can help you shape your brief.  We know London and the Home Counties very well and have acted for clients in most boroughs, however, we have a huge worldwide network, where we assist our clients to buy and sell properties as an investment. 

​

Your property search

Once we have fully understood your brief we start extensive research into your chosen areas.  This entails dealing with tens and sometimes hundreds of estate agents through whom we are able to find off-market properties and give you the first-mover advantage over other buyers.  We have acquired many properties for clients that never reached the open market and where no competitive bidding was required.

​

We take on all the leg work of the search, creating a shortlist of previewed properties that we feel best match your brief and accompanying you to viewings.  Our clients value being collected from home or work and being driven to appointments and having one point of contact throughout their search.

​

Negotiating Terms for You

Once the ideal property has been found we undertake detailed price comparison research using Land Registry data and on-market comparable to establish what we believe to be fair market value.  We will then agree on a negotiation strategy with you and work to secure the most favourable terms with the selling agent.

We have a good track record of successfully negotiating very substantial savings from asking prices.  Our Clients’ bids are often favoured over competing bids because agents and vendors value our involvement and have greater confidence that the deal will reach a successful conclusion.

​

Undertaking Due Diligence

As well as advising on values before negotiating, which mitigates the risk of a lender down-valuing at survey and ensures you do not overpay, we have a network of contacts who we can introduce to undertake the required due diligence to ensure your purchase is a sound one from a legal and structural perspective.  The contacts we recommend are tried and tested professionals who offer a service commensurate with our own.

​

Managing Your Buying and selling Process

We act as the first point of contact with all parties involved in the purchase or sale and will manage the process on a day-to-day basis.  Being actively involved in the process is critical and it also enables you to focus on other commitments in the knowledge your purchase or sale is being progressed quickly and efficiently.

​

Clients we have worked for tell us that we have made the process of house hunting an enjoyable one and that they found great comfort knowing they were acquiring the right property, at the right price, without the aggravation and stress experienced when searching on their own.
