Division Overview
Exclusive buy-side acquisition advisory for international HNW investors. We represent only the buyer — never the seller.
Who We Serve
Our Principles
01
We are retained exclusively by the acquirer. No seller representation, no dual agency, no conflict of interest. Every recommendation is driven by your outcome, not a vendor's asking price.
02
The majority of Prime Central London's best transactions never reach Rightmove or Zoopla. Through our network of solicitors, probate specialists, and private banks, we access opportunities before the market does.
03
We frame every acquisition in investment terms — gross yield, net yield after SDLT and agent fees, comparable rental demand, area price trajectory, and exit logic. You receive analysis, not enthusiasm.
04
From acquisition through tenancy, refurbishment, and eventual disposal — we manage the full asset lifecycle. A single point of contact for the entire ownership period.
Our Buying Agent Service
In England, an estate agent's contract is with the seller — full stop. However professional their manner with you as a buyer, their legal duty and their fee both sit with the other side of the table. A buying agent is the opposite arrangement: retained directly by you, accountable only to you.
Under contract to the vendor. Paid by the vendor. Their job is to achieve the highest price for the seller — however well they treat you as a buyer, that is who they ultimately work for.
Under contract to you. Paid by you. We search, negotiate and structure exclusively in your interest, and we take no fee from the seller under any circumstance — on any transaction, ever.
“The selling agent owes you no legal duty. Without buyer-side representation, you negotiate alone against someone paid to work against your price.”

Capital Growth / New BuildHow We Work
Six illustrative constructions drawn from the structures we typically engineer for international buyers — not actual client transactions, but a realistic picture of how a mandate takes shape from sourcing to structure.
Figures below are illustrative only. They do not represent any specific client, transaction, outcome, or guaranteed return.
Acquisition through a newly incorporated UK SPV
A three-bedroom apartment sourced off-market and negotiated to close at an illustrative £2,234,000, held through a purpose-built SPV structured for tax efficiency from day one.
Acquisition via corporate share purchase
A four-bedroom residence acquired by taking over the company that holds the property, rather than the property itself. Structured correctly, this route can avoid an SDLT liability entirely.
Commercial-to-residential conversion via SPV
A former office building acquired for an illustrative £7,800,000, taken through planning and a £2,200,000 luxury conversion into a six-bedroom townhouse.
Purchase of an operating hospitality business
A trading fifteen-room boutique hotel acquired for an illustrative £9,200,000 through a UK subsidiary — licensing, staff transition and SPV tax structuring coordinated alongside the property transaction itself.
Disposal of a licensed HMO asset
A licensed six-bedroom HMO sold via its holding SPV for an illustrative net £700,000 as part of a wider portfolio rebalancing — sale process, tenant transition and regulatory steps managed end to end.
Change-of-use conversion into three residences
A single commercial office floor in Mayfair acquired for an illustrative £6,400,000 and converted into three independent luxury apartments after an £1,800,000 conversion programme.
Fee model
Commission paid by the BUYER — buyer side only. We never take seller commission on your acquisition.
