If you are searching for a rental apartment in London or looking to buy a house in London, Engel & Völkers provides the right guidance – just as we do for experienced investors.
Property in London is in high demand – from elegant townhouses in Mayfair to modern apartments in Chelsea and prestigious penthouses in the heart of the City of London. Many of these properties never make it to the open market. Exclusivity, discretion, and a strong personal network are therefore key to accessing the most sought-after real estate in London.
In addition, the process of buying property in London differs significantly from countries like Germany. While sellers in Germany usually work with one exclusive agent and list their property publicly, in London, several estate agents often represent different properties. This means buyers typically need to contact multiple agencies and gather information themselves – a process that can be both time-consuming and confusing.
Many of London’s finest properties are sold discreetly as off-market deals, without any public promotion. Access to these exclusive listings is typically available only through trusted connections.
The actual property buying process begins when a buyer submits an offer. If accepted, the transaction enters the so-called conveyancing phase – a legal and financial review that can take several weeks. During this time, solicitors carry out due diligence, surveys are conducted, and financing is arranged. Only with the exchange of contracts does the sale become legally binding; until then, both parties can withdraw from the deal.
For international buyers, this process can initially seem complex. That’s where an experienced international real estate agency in London becomes essential: Engel & Völkers manages every step, filters relevant opportunities, and helps buyers avoid common pitfalls – such as inflated prices or incomplete legal documentation.
