It starts with a conversation.

​

Not a sales pitch. Not a valuation you didn't ask for. Just a straight conversation about your situation, what you're trying to do, and whether I can help.

​

Most people who contact me have already tried something else. They've had the estate agent visit, spoken to the mortgage broker, waited for the solicitor to come back. Something hasn't worked, or something has gone wrong, or they've realised they need someone independent in their corner before they go any further.

​

Whatever the situation, the process is the same.

​

​If an estate agent or broker can handle your situation cleanly, without risk to you, you don't need me. If the situation is more complicated than that, or the stakes are high enough that getting it wrong isn't acceptable, that's what I'm here for.

​

Step 1 - Tell me what's happening

​

Get in touch by phone or email and give me the outline. You don't need to have it all figured out. You just need to tell me where you are and what the problem is. I'll ask the right questions.

​​

Step 2 - Start with an assessment

​

For most clients, the right starting point is a property assessment. If you're selling, I assess the listing, the strategy, and what's actually stopping the sale. If you're buying, I assess the property itself, what it's worth, what the risks are, and whether the numbers stack up. If you're refinancing, I assess the asset independently before you go anywhere near a lender. In every case, you get a clear, written picture of where things stand and what needs to happen next. To book an assessment, contact me.

​

Step 3 - I give you my honest assessment

​

Once I understand the situation, I'll tell you what I think. What's gone wrong, what the options are, and what I'd do in your position. This is straight advice, not a softened version designed to keep you comfortable. If I think the problem is fixable, I'll tell you how. If I think you're heading in the wrong direction, I'll tell you that too.

​

Step 4 - We agree how to work together

​

If you want to go further, we agree the scope. That might mean me taking on full management of your sale. It might mean sitting behind you in a buying negotiation. It might mean a one-off assessment of your property before you go to a lender. Every engagement is different because every situation is different. I charge you directly. No referral fees, no commissions, no hidden interests. You know what it costs before we start.

​

Step 5 - I get to work

​

From that point I'm in your corner. I deal with the agents, the lenders, the surveyors, the solicitors — whoever needs dealing with. I keep you informed, I tell you what matters and what doesn't, and I focus on one thing: getting you to the outcome you came to me for.

​

What I am not

​

I am not an estate agent. I do not take instructions to sell your home on a commission basis.

​

I am not a mortgage broker and I do not recommend financial products.

​

I am not FCA regulated and I do not provide financial advice.

​

I am not a RICS-registered valuer.

​

I am not a solicitor.

​

What I am is an independent property consultant with deep knowledge of the market, the process, and the people in it, and I work for you alone.

​

Questions people ask before they call

​

Do I have to commit to anything before we speak?
No. The first conversation is free and commits you to nothing. I'll tell you whether I can help and what it would cost before you decide anything.

​

Are you an estate agent?

No. I'm an independent property consultant. I don't take instructions to sell property on a commission basis. I work for you directly, with no financial interest in the outcome other than getting you the right result.

​

Do you work outside London?
Yes. I'm based in London and work across England and Wales.

​

How quickly can you help?
Depends on the situation. For urgent problems, a chain about to collapse, or a transaction going wrong, I can usually be involved within 24 hours. For planned work like a sale review or pre-refinance assessment, we agree a start date that works for both of us.

​​​​

What does it cost?

Every engagement is different. For most cases, the starting point is a £250 property assessment. For anything beyond that, you'll know exactly what it costs before any work begins. No surprises and nothing added afterwards.

​

Can you help if I'm already mid-sale or mid-purchase?
Yes. Some clients come to me at the start of a process. Many come to me when something has already gone wrong. Both are fine. I'll start from wherever you are.

​

Is my situation complex enough for you?

Probably, if you're asking. The situations I work on aren't always dramatic. Sometimes it's a sale that's been sitting on the market longer than it should. Sometimes it's a buyer who wants one final independent check before they exchange. Sometimes it's someone who needs to know what their property is genuinely worth before they speak to a lender. If there's a version of the outcome where getting it wrong would cost you significantly, in money, time, or both, that's what I'm here for. The first conversation is free. If I don't think you need me, I'll tell you that.
