Our Services

 

Every family has expectations, but we use our understanding, expertise and attention to detail to fulfill these objectives that result in happy, satisfied clients.

Each client receives a personal service and LPS will only accept a new client on the basis that special attention and supervision can be provided.

 

BRIEFING

Each assignment commences with an in-depth discussion to establish the client’s essential requirements. This in turn will provide a checklist of the necessary steps to prepare for a move, whether local or international. Advance home search issues include budget, schools, environment, facilities, transport, location, location, location and many other factors that affect the choice of property.

RESEARCH

We undertake a thorough search of the property market to identify properties that meet the initial requirements. At this stage our close working relationship with estate agents, developers and landlords enables LPS to perhaps identify suitable properties even before they come onto the open market.

ACCOMPANIED VIEWING

A viewing program will be prepared and agreed with the client. We will accompany the client to inspect the properties during the selection process. Advice will be given on all matters of importance to the client including services, utilities and local amenities.

SCHOOL SEARCH

Families with school-aged children will often want to arrange school places prior to commencing the home search as this may affect the choice of location. LPS have an independent specialist Education Consultant to help the family in this aspect, where appropriate.

 

Acquisition Once a property has been selected, LPS will:

• Negotiate the best possible lease or purchase terms.

• Arrange for the tenancy agreement to be prepared and approved.

• Ensure that utilities and services are transferred into the name of the client.

• Arrange for the property to be fully prepared for occupancy and for a professional Inventory Clerk to represent the interests of the client at check-in.

A family relocating from New York City to London needed a property to base themselves in central London

“Practically on a daily basis, I am grateful to be living where we do in the beautiful house in Kensington you found for us three years ago.  Before that, you dedicated countless hours to helping us find the perfect rental property – no mean feat given our relative ignorance of London and our relatively high standards!  You were patient and generous and never wasted a minute. 

 

Then there’s our daughter Madeleine’s adorable flat in Hampstead, which you found for her and Steven’s elegant offices on Charles Street.

 

We cannot imagine moving, but when we do, we know whom to call! You do a thorough, highly professional, well-organized, well-researched search with energy, enthusiasm and years of experience – which is why we have recommended Leander Property Search to many of our friends.”

A client needed specialist help with house hunting in a prestigious location in central London

“Dear Penny

I can write without hesitation that buying a property with your help removed nearly all the unpleasant aspects of house hunting. The unfortunate bit being that I still had to pay for the property!

 

Still, I can honestly say that without your advice and sense of what was out there - filtering out all the unsuitable flats and houses, dealing with the agents, researching the locations etc. – we would never have found our house but furthermore I don’t think we would have bought it either. First of all you’re brilliant at understanding what one is looking for even if one can’t quite articulate it. Secondly having found this house you also identified and were very positive about why, in the long run, it would be worth taking on restoring it. 

 

And it was. You were right and we remain so grateful.

 

Next time we move or are looking for something we will call and I’d recommend anyone else to do the same.

 

All best and thanks”

Clients relocating to the UK in search of a luxurious apartment in Central London

“My husband and I had the pleasant opportunity to work closely with Penny Leander during our search for a place to live in London. Penny is a kind and sincere individual, and an ideal person to help with this very stressful time. Penny did more than just find us a beautiful place to live but helped us to get settled into the swing of London. I was glad to work with Penny, since it is an impossible task to do it on your own. Leander Property Search had an endless list of real estate for all types of areas and personalities. I highly recommend Leander Property Search for all of your relocation needs.”

Spanish clients relocating to the UK looking to find a rental property to suit their needs.

“Mi esposa y yo queremos agradecerte a ti a tu equipo el excelente servicio que hemos recibido en la busqueda de nuestra primera casa en Londres. Se encuentran grandes dificultades en trasladarse a un pais extranjero pues generalmente uno no sabe los pasos necesarios que se deben dar, diferentes estilos de construccion, y documentation; sin mencionar la lengua.

Esto ultimo es importante si la persona que realiza la busqueda no tiene una Buena comprension del ingles; en mi caso mi esposa.

Nos habeis ayudado mucho en este proceso dado vuestro conocimiento del espanol asi como de los gustos de nuestro pais. Creo que esto ha sido ideal.

Ya te ponder en contacto con companeros que se trasladen, sea en primera mudanza o posteriormente; pues honestamente creo que haceis un trabajo muy professional.

Un fuerte abrazo”
