Your dream home
Register your search with us. Here’s where we listen a lot more than we talk. Let us know what you want from your home, and we’ll match you with the most suitable properties.
Finances ready
If you need a mortgage (most of us do), you’ll need an offer in principle from any prospective lender. Knowing exactly what you can afford avoids heartbreak. Need a great Mortgage Broker? We know some great local people. Give us a call for help.
Viewings
Have a look at your best matched properties and times that suit you. We’ll show you around homes in the evenings and on weekends, when we typically hold our Property Launch events. We love feedback and it helps us get you closer to ‘the one’. Always let us know what you think!
Love it?
Offer what the property is worth to you. All offers are put forward to our sellers and a cover letter is always happily passed on. It’s worth remembering, the better positioned you are, the better your chances of securing that dream home. Talk to us to find out more about how you can give yourself the best chances.
Agreeing your offer
When your offer is accepted, we’ll agree target dates for exchange and completion, and what the next steps will be. Upon agreement, the property is taken off the market and the legal work commences. No one else will be shown the home, now let’s secure it for you.
First steps
Where applicable, it’s time to book in your surveys. A mortgage valuation and home buyers survey are typically the first booked in. Ordering your local searches and getting surveys booked quickly, saves you weeks if not months.
Keeping The Sale Moving
Conveyancing is the work that needs doing to ensure you’re buying a property free from any legal issues. We have a dedicated in-house team who are experts Sales Progressors, who support you and your legal representative. This support and communication is a crucial aspect of our work and ensures a smooth and stress-free process.
Exchanging
When you exchange contracts on the purchase of your new home, you pay your deposit and have a set date for move in day. This is the perfect time to book in the furniture movers!
Completion - Move in day!
The remaining funds will now be transferred over to the seller’s solicitor and once received (usually around mid-day), the home is officially yours and it’s time to collect your keys!
Frequently Asked Questions
You’ve got questions – we've got answers
- I want to buy a property. What do I do first?
To avoid disappointment, speak to a Financial Advisor who can help you establish what your affordability is. Once you know what your budget is, you’re off to start your search.
Register your details with local agents who seem to be selling the kind of property that you are after. Often, agents like us will inform you of new homes coming on to the market, before they go live. It’s awesome to be given a heads up!
Search high & low! Many buyers tend to dismiss properties that have been on the market for ‘too long’, assuming there’s something wrong with it. Nine times out of ten, a property has not managed to sell because it is overpriced. Go and have a look at properties within your budget and then speak to agents about properties that are slightly over, that have been on the market for a while.
- I've found a property I love. What do I do now?
It’s time to put in an offer. Start with considering what you are willing to pay for a property, to ensure you don’t lose it. Preparing yourself with the price that you’re willing to pay, to secure your new home really helps. Speak with the agent and get an understanding of the agent’s offer process, so that you know what to expect.
- When will my mortgage lender release the funds?
Once you’ve exchanged on the property and sent over your deposit, your solicitor will draw down the remaining funds (your mortgage monies), from your lender. This will be done in preparation for your completion. This can take up to five days. Your solicitor will then send these funds over to your seller’s solicitor on completion day.
- When is the buyer or seller bound to the sale or purchase?
Both buyer and seller are bound to the purchase, once you pay the deposit and exchange on the property.
- What happens on completion day?
Most sales tend to complete around midday but this can be much later subject to the length of the chain and when all solicitors receive the funds. Once this happens, you officially own your new home and can collect the keys from the agent.

We spent almost a year searching for a house and just wish we’d met the team at Location Location earlier in our journey. The London house-buying process teaches you, very early, to be suspicious of estate agents. But then Location Location aren’t regular estate agents and we had to unlearn everything. Peter, Lauretta, Ella and the rest of the team were fantastic. They were proactive, communicative, friendly and made the entire process stress-free. Navigating the London property market can be incredibly draining, but dealing with Peter, Lauretta and Ella was a breath of fresh air. They managed to strike the perfect balance between efficiency and a genuine, personal touch. We never felt like just another transaction; instead, we felt supported throughout the entire process.

Location Location were amazing in helping me sell my property in Stoke Newington- would absolutely recommend them. Very quickly I had an offer on my flat through Drew being super proactive with viewings. Lauretta was an absolute star supporting me through the sale process, going above and beyond to help me. Could not fault them. Thank you ✨

I used Location Location to sell my flat. Overall, I was pleased with the service I received from them. The team were professional and responsive overall, although I did have to chase them at various points. My only criticism is that I felt the marketing process was slow at the beginning and I worried that the team weren't promoting my property enough. However, viewings did pick up and the property did sell, which did restore my trust in them as a team. I am glad I used Location Location and feel they were the best estate agent to instruct, as they seem to have a monopoly in the area and are a small independent team who were clear, proactive and professional. I would recommend them.

We recently sold a flat through Location Location and the process was extremely efficient and fairly head ache free which is unheard of in the real estate industry. Tim Kearney and Drew Elias-Christosomou kicked started the process for us in the best way possible. Later on Lauretta Caulfield helped us navigate the progress of the sale extremely diligently which led to a chain move happen in less than 3 months. Unheard of again. Huge kudos to the team at Location Location. Very kind and efficient all round. We would definitely use them again.

Lauretta, Osh and team were extremely helpful and proactive helping us buy our first home. They were always on hand to help and made the whole process very smooth and swift. Also loved the extra touches of a bow on our door and a congratulations card. We would highly recommend them for anyone looking buy/ sell. Olivia & Dan

I have nothing but good things to say about my experience of selling my flat through Location Location. The service from start to finish felt very personal, friendly and importantly, responsive to the market conditions. Peter provided excellent advice and support throughout the process of selling, while Tim and Ella kept me really well informed about each viewing. When it came to progressing the sale, Lauretta kept in regular touch with me and worked tirelessly to get it over the line. Huge thanks to all of the team involved.

The team at Location Location were consistently excellent. Drew Chrisostomou gave first rate advice and produced and voiced a fabulous video for social media. And Lauretta Caulfield and Oisin Bouderba were detailed, attentive and proactive on sales progression, going that extra mile to get us to completion.

I improved the flat — and lost part of my deposit. A year ago, my wife and I rented a flat through Location Location. While the property had some nice features, it was in poor condition when we moved in. As a result, we spent our own time and money making several improvements. This included fixing a loose bathroom radiator, repairing a garden door that didn’t open properly, securing the garden fence, improving worn wooden flooring downstairs, and treating damaged wooden surfaces in the bathroom. The flat was left in a clearly better condition than when we arrived. After a year, we decided to move to a larger flat. When we returned the keys, we genuinely expected some acknowledgement of the improvements we had made. Instead, all of this was ignored, and the focus was placed on minor issues such as dust on the blinds and a stain on a baking tray. What makes this particularly galling is the realisation that had we done nothing to improve the property — and simply worried about cosmetic details — we would likely have received our full deposit back. In other words, effort, care and investment count for nothing. If you’re a tenant, be aware: no matter how responsibly you treat the property, they will find a reason to deduct from your deposit. And if you’re a landlord using Location Location, you should seriously question how tenant improvements are valued — or ignored. We will never use Location Location again.

Great estate agent, very helpful and friendly with quick communication. We recently purchased through them, we were shown round the property by Drew, who was super friendly and really knowledgable (which in London, is rarer than it should be). The process was then dealt with by Ella and Lauretta, both very communicative and really pushed to keep the process moving quickly, nudging solicitors and answering questions very efficiently. Good service all round - makes a big difference to the process. Thanks!
