We are a discreet property search firm ready to assist you in buying and renting properties in London, the rest of the UK and Europe. We help you through the process, using our connections, applying our judgement, and making use of our detailed experience in the industry. We are with you at every point on the journey.
Exclusive Access
Using our unrivalled address book, AKA sources the best properties, on and off market, for purchase and rental. We offer additional services as required.
unrivalled Network
Many of the most desirable properties in London never reach the open market. We use our network to be aware of these properties and get you through the door first.
Bespoke Experience
We work with companies and individuals – always providing a discreet, bespoke service.
Instinctive Sophistication
With an unparalleled background in luxury, media and real estate, AKA has the sophistication to instinctively understand the needs of its clients.
Our Process
The Brief
Prior to the engagement, we will meet with you or your representative. We will advise on market prices, trends and suitable areas.
The Search
Each search is designed around your needs with as much of your involvement as you would like. We can provide rapid turnarounds if required, pre-briefing lawyers and assisting you through the conveyancing to allow for a swift transaction.
The result
Equally, some property searches take time. We will work with you to the end and provide additional support where required. We like to build long term partnerships with our clients and our job only ends when you are completely satisfied.
