An Indian Investor
The Challenge
Our client was a high profile property developer in India. He wanted to secure a property that he and his family could use when visiting London, but also something that was a good investment. He was not keen on any of the new, modern, very expensive developments in Knightsbridge, but wanted something with period features.
The Perfect Conclusion
Through our contacts, we identified an off market, 1st floor, lateral apartment in Lowndes Square, with 11 ft ceiling heights and views over the garden square. The flat also benefitted from a share in the freehold, porter and parking. Lowndes Square is one of the most prestigious addresses in Knightsbridge, but also extremely difficult to get a good deal in, where many of the flats are overpriced or have a short lease.

The Challenge
Our client had previously bought a flat in a development in Fulham without advice. He was extremely disappointed that his flat had not rise in value, despite the rest of prime central London increasing. He wanted us to find him a family home, but was also very focused on not making the same mistake twice and wanted to buy something which would have better prospects for capital appreciation.
The Perfect Conclusion
We sourced a 4 bedroom house in one of London’s most prestigious gated developments in Chelsea – King’s Chelsea. We secured the property for our client before it hit the open market and before any marketing materials were produced. Houses rarely come onto the market in this development, where there are just 11 houses.
