Off-market access in prime Surrey
Some of Surrey’s finest homes are never advertised. Thanks to long-standing relationships with trusted agents and private sellers, we’re often first to know about these exclusive properties.
Your interests come first
We only represent a small number of clients at any one time. No conflicting briefs, no diluted attention – just focused, dedicated service designed around you.
Our proven property search process
Our step-by-step approach is designed to make your property search seamless, saving you time, reducing stress,
and ensuring you secure the right home on the best terms.
Clarify your goals and priorities
We work closely with you to help you define your goals, lifestyle, and priorities. This includes considering factors such as access to amenities and schools, proximity to transport links, and the need for a home office.
Shape and refine your search strategy
Once we have a deep understanding of your search, we create a brief that is tailored to you, ensuring we find the home that aligns with your vision.
Search for opportunities
Property searching is extremely time-consuming. As a retained Buying Agent, we scour the market, acting as a filter to shortlist potential opportunities.
Preview and shortlist
We preview all opportunities to ensure you are not wasting your time viewing houses that you simply will not buy, and accompany you to your shortlisted properties to offer objective and professional advice.
Negotiation
Once an ideal property has been identified, we advocate on your behalf to negotiate the best possible terms. Working with a Buying Agent enhances your credibility as a buyer and demonstrates a commitment to purchase, making you stand out in a competitive market.
Professional connections
Having the right team around you is essential for a smooth transaction. We can introduce you to the very best professionals from our network; tax and mortgage advisors, solicitors, surveyors, and architects, as well as an array of specialists often required post-survey.
Exchange, completion and beyond
We act as your communication anchor, the main point of contact between all parties, to oversee the transaction through to the exchange of contracts and completion. This is a crucial and often overlooked part of what we do.
Upon completion, we provide support from collecting the keys and arranging meter readings to a full personal concierge service, ensuring you settle into your new home quickly and efficiently.
Success stories in Surrey
Woodland Haven
Young busy family seeking privacy and seclusion with a minimum of 7 acres, whilst being part of a community in South West Surrey.
We found them a hidden gem, a characterful property at the end of a quiet lane, surrounded by 13 acres of woodland. With strong competition for such a generational home we moved quickly to negotiate favourable terms and successfully secured the house. Our clients were absolutely thrilled.
“From start to finish Stephen and Carol ensured the journey was smooth and calm. They handled all negotiations and ensured that the twists and turns of the house-buying process were expertly-managed to reduce our stress and help with our lack of available time.
I don’t believe we would have secured our forever home without them and highly recommend their services and support to anyone purchasing.”
City Streets to Surrey Retreat
Our client, a busy tech industry professional, originally from the US, sought assistance in purchasing a long-term home in the UK, within walking distance to local amenities, green spaces, and a train station with direct links to Waterloo. Reigate was the perfect location.
One stunning character property clearly stood out, offering a harmonious blend of charm and modernity. We quickly moved to secure the property, helping our client negotiate favourable terms, with the savings comfortably covering our fee.
“Thanks again for your help throughout this process. I started with zero experience on home-purchasing in the UK and I couldn’t have done it without your effort and support.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How well do you know Surrey?
Stephen was partner of an independent estate agency in Surrey for over 20 years, during which time he gained a deep understanding of the county’s prime property market and its most sought-after addresses.
Can you help with private school advice?
From Epsom College to Charterhouse School and Frensham Heights, there are an abundance of independent schools in Surrey. We are not school specialists, however we work closely with education consultants who help support families, offering clarity and insight into the expectations of the most sought-after schools in the county.
How are you different from an Estate Agent?
An Estate Agent represents their client, the seller. They are skilled negotiators looking to achieve the highest possible price and most favourable terms, securing the best result for their client – not for you as the buyer.
A Buying Agent flips this dynamic. Instead of working for the seller, a buying agent is exclusively on your side. Our role is to secure the right property at the right price while protecting you from making costly mistakes.
What types of clients do you work with?
We represent anyone who recognises the importance of having an experienced advocate on their side, someone who can save them time, protect them from costly mistakes, and open doors to opportunities others simply won’t see. Typically our clients are time poor professionals, overseas buyers and families or individuals looking to re-size.
Do you only work in Surrey?
No – we cover the majority of the South of England, including London, Hampshire and West Sussex.
What are your fees?
We charge a one-off retaining fee of £2,000, plus a success fee which is a percentage of the purchase price, payable on exchange of contracts. We are also happy to discuss a fixed fee if this is more preferable. All fees are subject to VAT.
