Investment Property Our knowledge of the UK market allows us to provide the most astute advice to our clients when looking for real estate investment options. We specialise in providing unconflicted, intelligent commercial property acquisition advice as well as the subsequent portfolio management services.

Commercial Property Acquisition Our point of view Private clients, family trusts and their advisors looking to take a position in the UK property market may find that commercial property assets provide good income streams, often superior to residential property income returns.

We assist those clients in finding a broad range of opportunities, with clear explanations about why we recommend each acquisition, suited to their particular requirements.

The services we provide Budget We act for clients with a budget of £2.5m–£100m+.

Due Diligence We undertake comprehensive due diligence on shortlisted properties.

Brief Setting We manage the acquisition of all forms of commercial property for investment purposes or end-use, including offices, retail, leisure, industrial, hotels and student accommodation.

Negotiation We negotiate to secure the most advantageous price and terms and offer guidance and oversight of the final transaction.

Search Once mandated, we search and identify properties that precisely meet the client’s needs and objectives.

What makes us different We strike the right balance between Scale and Service: · Larger and better resourced than the search agencies. · More hands-on and personally engaged than the big players.

We are free to provide impartial advice with the client’s best interests at heart.

With deep expertise across residential as well as commercial asset classes, we are able to provide a whole-market view on where money is best invested.

Our point of view Whilst UK property remains an attractive investment option for private clients and family trusts, market dynamics and relative sector values are more volatile than ever.

In order to maximise financial returns, active management of individual properties and intelligent portfolio diversification are both essential.

Residential Property Search: London Our point of view Even at the very top-end of the market, there is never a shortage of residential property for sale in London.

The challenge is filtering this sea of opportunity to identify the handful of properties that precisely match a buyer’s needs and aspirations.

To find and acquire the ideal house or flat, private clients (and their advisors) need expert help in the form of discreet, actionable and superbly well-informed advice.

The services we provide Budget We source property that ranges in value from £1m to £100m+.

Brief Setting We build close working relationships with every one of our clients. We know we need to understand their emotional and practical needs in order to set the right search criteria.

Search We’ve personally visited just about every high-end property in London and we have the inside track on what’s about to come to market, as well as what’s already listed.

Acquisition Advice and Negotiation We combine our 37 years of experience with up-to-the-minute insight. Whilst the very best lifestyle property often commands a premium, we know what constitutes fair value, and when

something is cheap. Knowledge and well-practised negotiating skills allow us to secure the lowest possible price.

Our expertise in these areas drives many of the client recommendations we receive.

Negotiation Only Sometimes clients come to us already having found a property to buy, but want our specialist knowledge to achieve their purchase.

360° Support We can arrange introductions to a wide range of service providers from educational consultants, to architects and builders. Our network is constantly kept under review to ensure it remains best-in-class. We are not tied to any specific providers and do not receive payment for introductions.

What makes us different We see more, hear more and know more about the markets we cover.

Each member of our team focuses on a specific region, and most live in that local area. The majority of Partners have been at Property Vision for at least 10 years.

Recommendations and repeat business are a key measure of success, and we’re proud of our record in both. Clients remember the insight we brought to the process long after the purchase has completed.

To avoid conflicts of interest, we don’t work simultaneously for two clients with the same brief in the same area.

Industry commentators have consistently ranked Property Vision as the number one property advisor.

Our point of view Over the last 20 years London has been transformed by new developments; however the quality of these developments is varied – much of what has been billed as prime is anything but.

Once you add in increases in stamp duty, currency depreciation, spiralling building costs and opaque pricing strategies, this is a sector where the risk of buyer’s regret is high.

New developments account for the greatest supply of properties to the market above ÂŁ1m in central London and Property Vision consistently ensures our clients get the best deals on the best units.

New Developments

The services we provide Budget We source property that ranges from a value of ÂŁ1.5m to ÂŁ100m+.

Brief Setting An end-to-end solution for private clients, family trusts and their advisors considering new developments for either personal use or investment purposes.

Search We have the relationships with developers, agents and within the secondary market to identify the best deals first.

Negotiation We have the experience to determine fair value and the skills to secure the right price and terms.

Investment Advice We provide insight into likely letting values, and introduce the best rental and managing agents.

Asset Management We advise on portfolio creation and diversification, including property disposal.

Due Diligence We undertake painstaking research to guard against unpleasant surprises down the line.

What makes us different We have 25 years of data tracking the best developments and sales within them. Our research has been published in the Financial Times.

We have deep experience across all UK property types. Our advice on new developments is framed by knowledge of the whole market.

We tell it like it is. We have firm opinions on the best and worst developers and developments.

Industry commentators have consistently ranked Property Vision as the number one property advisor.

Our point of view There is a diverse supply of lifestyle properties in the English countryside ranging from classical old rectories, farms and estates, to cutting-edge contemporary homes, and everything in between.

They share one thing in common, however. The very best-in-class only rarely become available; and even when they do, they hardly ever reach the open market.

Private clients need more than patience if they’re to find and acquire the ideal property. They need specialist help: informed experts who have the contacts to create opportunities, and the skills to make transactions happen.

Residential Property Search: Country

The services we provide Budget We source property that ranges from a value of £1.5m to £100m+.

Brief Setting We work hard to understand our clients’ emotional and practical needs. We’re highly goaloriented, and have the market insight to know immediately what briefs will and will not be achievable.

Search We’ve seen just about every top-end property there is and have the inside track on likely availability. Most years it is probable that 60/70% of property is bought off market.

Acquisition Advice and Negotiation Lifestyle property is much sought after. Like other trophy asset classes, it typically commands a premium.

With 37 years of experience, we know what constitutes fair value and how best to negotiate the lowest possible price. When clients are recommended to us, it is often these capabilities they seek.

Negotiation Only Sometimes clients come to us already having found a property to buy, but want our specialist knowledge to achieve their purchase.

360° Support We can arrange introductions to a wide range of service providers: from educational consultants to architects and builders. Our network is constantly kept under review to ensure it remains best-in-class. We are not tied to any specific provider and do not receive payment for introductions.

What makes us different We see more, hear more and know more about the markets we cover.

Recommendations and repeat business are a key measure of success, and we’re proud of our record in both. Clients remember the insight we brought to the process long after the purchase has completed.

We specialise in the Art of the Possible. We don’t just wait for the ripe plum to fall; we’re pro-active in shaking the tree.

Industry commentators have consistently ranked Property Vision as the number one property advisor.

To avoid conflicts of interest, we don’t work simultaneously for two clients with the same brief in the same area.

Rental Solutions

Our point of view In both London and the country, there is increasing demand for high-end rentals.

Whilst often a lifestyle choice, this can also be driven by practical reasons: a desire to see how the market develops; an interim measure whilst finding the perfect property to buy; or a response to events like relocation or divorce.

Whatever the cause, private clients looking for the optimum solution need top quality advice.

The services we provide Budget Acting for clients with a budget of ÂŁ5,000+ per week.

Brief Setting We have the knowledge to identify quickly which areas and properties will best match the client’s aspirations and requirements.

Negotiation We have the skills and experience to help secure the best price and terms.

Transaction We offer highly informed advice on every element of the final rental agreement.

Search We have the relationships to help clients get to the front of the queue. We can also provide more interesting solutions; for instance, unsold residential properties that are not on the open market but may still be available for rent.

What makes us different Our longevity and experience in the market means we are adept at interpreting clients’ needs and finding the best possible solution.

Our advice is never compromised.

If we are working on a search, we will turn away any identical briefs until the first is completed.

We provide a full-service offering. Many clients come to us for a rental property whilst looking for somewhere to buy.

We have unparalleled connections with both agents and private individuals who have property to rent.
