Description

If you require a simple answer/pointing in the correct direction to an overly convoluted issue as a buyer/sell/tenant/property developer. I am a property professional with 30+ years of experience in various locations in the London market, including 5 years as Manager at Henry & James Estate Agency, Belgravia and 20+ years in property development. I specialize in all areas of Estate Agency/price brackets, acquisitions, PD, planning uplift, and development strategy.

I offer a unique £50 flat-fee 'Truth Check' service for single property queries, providing unconflicted advice for domestic and international clients. For complex development appraisals or legal pack reviews, I provide a bespoke 'Document Bundle' service.
