About Our Company
Our Story
Tamara Colton
Owner
Born in Canada, Tamara’s career in UK property began in 1999. With extensive experience in negotiating property sales and purchases as well as managing teams in both sales and lettings, it became clear she loved the relationships built with the buyers and tenants she had encountered. A perfect step to reflect this was to become a Property Search Agent. She joined London Property Match as a director in 2012 and took over full ownership in 2024. Having lived in central and west London, she adores her home city and all it has to offer with a particular love of sharing her knowledge to help clients find the very best London homes and investments.
“Even as a child I had a fascination for architecture and interiors. I would draw floor plans and furnishing guides as a hobby (albeit not to scale). I guess it was inevitable I would do what I do today.”
How we came about
Buyers deserve and need to have knowledgeable and local professionals representing them in their search and property purchases. London Property Match was set up in recognition of this in 1999. Buying agents were few and estate agents, then and now, represent and work for the seller – they earn their fee from the seller.
London Property Match was one of the very first to represent the buyer – just the buyer, with all motivation and support focused on their client, the buyer. Tamara Colton continues this focus and care, in the spirit of previous fellow director Sarah Dixon and founder directors Suzanne Emson and Sarah Snow.
How we keep fees low
Without the unnecessary expense of a central London office, we are able to offer competitive fees, being lower than most London based property search and buying agents. This makes London Property Match more accessible to more types of buyers with their buying and renting search.
Driving clients around, rather than hiring expensive chauffeur driven cars, means we do not have to charge the higher fees other finders do.
We also offer bite size services for clients who just need a bit of help with part of the process and do not need the full property search service.
How we work
We offer a free initial consultation which can be in person, a video call or by phone to give us the opportunity to discuss your property needs and aspirations for your search to begin to build your property search brief.
London Property Match has worked extensively with all types of buyers, renters and their budgets; relocation, first timers, investors, growing families, those downsizing and with short-term and long-term needs. We work for those buying or looking to rent property – never selling or letting property – therefore our clients’ interests and requirements are always at the forefront of our minds. We rarely advertise and most of our clients come through recommendations and repeat use of our service.
London Property Match has seen clients return for their second and third property, a sign we feel sure of happy and fulfilled clients.
We don’t just work as search agents in London, we live locally and as such have a deep, extensive and personal knowledge of residential London, being able to pinpoint exactly what will work for you, often down to just a few streets or being able to suggest a different area that provides a better fit for your criteria and budget.
We are truly independent property search agents, representing only our client in the transaction. We never take on two clients with the same brief to avoid any conflict of interest.
