We are not a full-service brokerage. We deliberately offer a short menu of things we do well, and we say no to the rest.
01
Placement
We represent a small number of residential sellers each season. The relationship begins six to twelve weeks before the house is published, and ends only when both parties want it to.
Property assessment & positioning
Photography & film direction
Private campaign & viewing program
Negotiation & closing oversight
02
Acquisition
For buyers, often working privately. We work with a small number of acquisition clients per year on houses that are not yet on, or never will be, an open market.
Brief development & search
Off-market sourcing
Discreet viewings & comparables
Negotiation & due diligence
03
Architectural advisory
Before a renovation, before a listing, before a teardown. We advise on what a house could be, with the right hands on it.
Site & structure review
Architect introductions
Planning & permission strategy
Valuation impact of works
04
Estate & legacy
Houses passing through generations — to sell, to keep, or to restructure. We work alongside your lawyer and accountant, not in place of them.
Multi-property valuations
Family discussions, off the record
Phased disposal strategy
Trust & tax adviser coordination
05
Investment placement
For a small group of long-term investors. Not yield-chasing — we look for buildings that will be worth keeping in 40 years.
Thesis & portfolio brief
Sourcing & underwriting
Acquisition execution
Annual portfolio review
06
Editorial & archive
A house has a story before and after us. We publish, on request, a private record of every placement we make.
Provenance research
Photographic archive
Bound publication of record
Long-term photo preservation

Most engagements start with a meeting, not a brochure.
