We know what it’s like to live and work in London so we are available later than most agents.

We take an increasing number of enquiries from 6-10pm. That’s why we’re available late on weekdays and at weekends.

Simply put, if you choose a traditional 9-5pm agent, you may well be missing out on the perfect buyer or tenant. We’ll make sure you don’t.

WHY WE WORK LONGER HOURS

FJLORD.CO.UK

WE KNOW WHY PEOPLE LOVE LIVING IN LONDON’S VILLAGES London is such an amazing place because it’s not really one place at all. It’s a collection of neighbourhoods, each with their own character and charm. And at the centre of those neighbourhoods are the villages that Londoners are fiercely loyal to. Our success is rooted in our understanding of London’s villages. It’s not just about knowing schools, shops or transport; every agent should know these things. It’s about appreciating an area’s heritage, seeing the shifting shape of things today and most crucially, it’s about having a real grasp of why people love living there. It’s that knowledge of why people love living in London’s villages that we turn to our clients’ advantage to help them buy, sell, let and rent property in those areas.
