Brief

Our client, an investment manager, was looking for a substantial family house in Notting Hill with a budget of £15–20 million. The brief was specific: excellent natural light, a large garden and air conditioning were all essential.

The client had no appetite for a renovation project, so the house also needed to be turnkey and ready to move into. With relatively few properties combining this scale, condition and outside space in Notting Hill, the search required patience and a highly targeted approach.

Result

After an extensive search, we secured a substantial Notting Hill house that brought together the key elements of the brief: generous accommodation, excellent light, a large garden and the turnkey condition our client required.

Our role extended beyond finding and acquiring the property. We assembled the professional team needed to support the purchase, introducing the client to a trusted solicitor, surveyor, property management team and insurance broker.

From our initial appointment through to completion, the search and acquisition took two years.

Your Unfair Advantage

At this end of the Notting Hill market, finding a house that meets every element of a detailed brief can take time. Rather than encouraging our client to compromise on the things that mattered, we maintained a focused search until the right opportunity emerged.

Once it did, we were able to manage the acquisition and bring together the advisers needed to make the process as straightforward as possible. The result was a turnkey Notting Hill house that delivered the space, light and garden our client had been looking for.
