Many prospective purchasers, particularly trustees and foreign nationals, especially at the top end of the London Residential Market, retain agents to act on their behalf to advise, negotiate and to represent their interests solely against the vendor’s or the vendor’s agents.
How many people do you know who would buy an article (a picture for instance) at the price levels involved in central London property without obtaining professional advice? Not very many is the answer, unless of course they are in that field of business.
It is our opinion that it is vital that the buyer gets expert advice from an Agent active in the marketplace who knows current market conditions and who can achieve the best deal for them at the most favourable purchase price.
