We are delighted to be featured in this weekend’s Time & Leisure publication, which includes the best food, entertainment, travel, style and property information across South West London and Surrey. We spoke to Time & Leisure about London Property Match’s inception in 1999 and how it has grown and helped so many people find their perfect property over the last twenty years.

London Property Match is run exclusively by us, Sarah Dixon and Tamara Colton, and we both have extensive experience buying London property. With no office and staff our overheads are low, meaning we can offer competitive fees. This ensures we can help property finders with a wide range of budgets – both big and small – and search across wider parts of London, not just in prime locations. Our independent and down-to-earth advice on location and price is particularly useful in challenging conditions such as we’ve seen during the Brexit negotiations.

…But what people can say is that buying agencies can be expensive. With the odd exception perhaps, such as London Property Match…

They charge only a £587.50 signing-on deposit, plus one percent of the purchase price. “They’re these motherly figures who talk total common sense and cut through all the rubbish from the estate agents” says Mr H a Chelsea art dealer. “They held our hands the whole way when we bought our house in Battersea.” So perhaps it is time for the ladies to put their prices up?” “I think one per cent is quite enough, don’t you” replied Sarah Snow.

Moving house is considered the most stressful life event so why not pay someone else to take the strain…. As well as dealing with larger budgets London Property Match finds cheaper houses for the first time buyer. “We try and find them something with a bit of potential such as an attic they can build into”

Mr M…a management consultant…having failed to buy on his own, through lack of time… used London property Match to do it for him. Following an initial meeting to determine his exact requirements, the company viewed 25 properties before showing him six… Three weeks later his offer…was accepted… on a…house which the buying agents had seen before it came on the market…While lack of time was his initial reason for using a home finder, he feels the expert guidance was of equal value, “They had a very good eye for things which were over-priced and they knew when something had been on the market for a long time… They added knowledge I simply didn’t have”.
