Property consulting
An hour with someone who sees dozens of transactions a year. No agency agreement, no obligation — just answers.
For anyone who needs an impartial answer before making a property decision
The problem
A decision you make once a decade
Property decisions are made rarely and cost a great deal. Someone who buys two flats in a lifetime cannot have the experience an agent accumulates in a year. So most decisions get made on the advice of friends, comments on forums, and a general feeling that "now is a good time" or "we should wait".
The second difficulty is the absence of anyone impartial. The developer's sales manager wants to sell their project. The bank's officer wants to write the loan. The agent who needs the instruction will tell you now is the time to sell. Finding someone who will say "in this situation you are better off doing nothing" is not easy.
Third, the situations are often anything but standard. An inherited house with several owners. A flat to be divided after a divorce. Land whose designated use does not match the plans for it. A let property you are thinking of selling. No listings portal has an answer to any of those.
Where the money usually goes
- Decisions made on instinct rather than market data
- Every adviser has a commercial interest of their own
- Non-standard situations lack practical experience
- It is unclear whether to sell, let, or wait
- It is unknown which taxes and documents apply in this particular case
- There is nobody impartial to say “don't do that”
The solution
How we work
A consultation is a service in its own right, tied to no agency agreement. You bring the question; we bring the market data and the experience. If the conclusion is that the best move is to do nothing for another year, that is exactly what we will say, even though it means there is no deal in it for us.
Before we meet we ask for a short account of the situation and whatever documents you have, so the conversation can be specific rather than general. During the consultation we go through the data, cost out the options and set them side by side: what happens if you sell now, what happens in a year, what happens if you let it.
After the conversation we send a short written summary with the main conclusions and the next steps. You can show it to family, a business partner or the bank — very often that is the missing piece that stops a decision hanging in the air.
What you get, specifically
- A one-to-one consultation with real market data
- Comparing the options: sell, let, wait, invest
- A tax and document review for your situation
- Scenarios for resolving non-standard cases
- A written summary with conclusions and next steps
- Recommendations on which specialists to approach next
The process
How the consultation runs
At every stage you know what is happening, who is responsible and when to expect a result.
- 01
Describing your question
You fill in the form and describe your situation briefly. That lets us match you with the right member of the team — each of our agents specialises in a different segment.
- 02
Preparation
Before the meeting we gather the market data, read through the documents you have sent, and prepare specific calculations rather than general answers.
- 03
Consultation
We meet at the office, at the property, or over a video call. An hour of conversation going through your situation, the options, the risks and realistic timescales.
- 04
Comparing the options
We lay the possible scenarios out in a single table with real numbers: what you receive, what it costs, how long it takes, and the main risks in each case.
- 05
Written summary
Within two working days we send a summary with our conclusions and the steps we would recommend next. The decision is yours, with no pressure from us.
Result
What you get
Clarity. Most clients say the same thing afterwards: I finally know what I am going to do, and why. Often the decision is nothing like the one they arrived with — letting the place for two years until the building work in the quarter finishes, rather than rushing a sale.
A consultation often saves money before any transaction happens at all. One document checked, one contract clause spotted in time, or one sale postponed is frequently worth more than the whole service costs.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The questions we hear at almost every first meeting. If yours is not here, write to us and we will answer it personally.
A first consultation about a specific property or transaction is free — it is how we get to know each other. Where deeper analysis is needed — a portfolio review, financial modelling across several scenarios, an unusual situation to work through — we charge a fixed hourly rate, agreed in advance.
No. The consultation is tied to no agency agreement, and we will not even suggest one if it is not in your interest. A fair number of our clients leave a consultation and make a decision that needs no service from us at all — and that is fine.
The usual ones: is now a good time to sell, is it worth renovating first, what to do with inherited property, how to divide property in a divorce, whether to let or to sell, whether a particular investment proposal is realistic. We also advise on developers' preliminary contracts.
Yes, from the property side of it: what the estate is really worth, what the options for dividing it are, and which costs more — selling and splitting the proceeds, or one heir buying out the others. We do not provide legal services, but we work alongside solicitors and notaries we can put you in touch with.
Of course. In those cases we usually assess whether the asking price stands up, where the property's weak points are, and how much room there is to negotiate. If you then decide you want someone negotiating for you, that is a separate service — buyer representation.
Yes, we hold consultations over video as well — which suits owners living abroad, or any case where the documents matter more than the property itself. Where the question concerns the condition of a specific property, we always recommend meeting there.
