In prime central London the best properties change hands before they are advertised, and the seller already has an agent. Arbitrage Group gives the buyer the same advantage: an adviser on their side of the table, from the first brief to the day the keys are handed over, and beyond.
Private buyers looking for a London home, investors seeking rental yield and stable capital growth, and family offices adding London property to a wider balance sheet. Many of our clients are overseas or simply too busy to run a search themselves; several come to us because a previous purchase went badly without independent advice.
We start with a focused brief: what you need, what you will pay, how the purchase is financed, and where the trade-offs lie. We advise on current market conditions, rental yields and the areas offering the most reliable capital growth, and can introduce mortgage finance where required.
We audit everything available, listed and unlisted. Long-standing relationships with estate agents, developers and private owners mean we hear about new instructions before they reach the portals. You receive a shortlist with photographs, floor plans and an investment case for each property, then viewings at your convenience, in person or by live video if you are abroad.
Once the right property is found we handle the negotiation to secure the best price and terms. In many cases the discount achieved exceeds our fee. After the offer is accepted we coordinate solicitors, mortgage brokers and tax advisers so that the transaction moves without you chasing it.
For investors, the purchase is the beginning. We manage refurbishment, furniture sourcing and interior design within our fee, find tenants at the best achievable rent, and then manage the property on an ongoing basis so that you have a single point of contact and the tenant has one too. The aim is an investment that performs without demanding your time.
Prime central London first: Mayfair, Belgravia, Knightsbridge, Chelsea, South Kensington, Notting Hill, Marylebone, Covent Garden and Soho. We also buy in the established villages that private clients ask for, including Primrose Hill, Hampstead, Richmond and Barnes.
A buying agent (or buyer’s adviser) is instructed and paid by the buyer, not the seller. Estate agents act for the seller and are paid to achieve the highest price; a buying agent’s job is the opposite. In prime central London the advantage is access: a significant share of the best properties are sold quietly, before or instead of being advertised, and a buying agent with the right relationships sees them.
A success fee on exchange calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. We set the terms out in writing before we begin. Our negotiation frequently secures a discount larger than the fee itself.
Yes. Most of our clients are abroad for at least part of the search. We conduct viewings on your behalf, provide live video walk-throughs, and coordinate the legal and financial parties in the UK so that you only need to travel when you choose to.
Yes. Refurbishment, furnishing, tenant sourcing and ongoing management are all part of what we offer, so that an investment purchase becomes a performing asset rather than a second job.
A short conversation is enough to tell whether we can help.
