The Story
Calling on my experience in the area, I immediately identified the only five buildings with flats appropriate for the client’s brief. I then targeted the buildings through direct letters and spoke to every estate agent in the area to see if I could secure a one-off viewing to any relevant flats. Flats are rarely sold in these buildings, and only one over-valued flat of this type was available on the open market.
I negotiated directly with the owner and secured a price of £1,870,000 (£935 per square foot). Flats of this type were selling recently for £1,100+ per square foot.
What the client said
"Jamie's methodical efficiency, combined with his deep understanding of my brief (including the irrational details at times) immediately put me at ease. Being very busy and travelling a lot, I found someone I could really count on to deliver. Despite the long process and indecision on my part, Jamie remained relentless and I am now the happy owner of a beautiful loft apartment in a neighbourhood I love."
