“Huge thanks to Alex for helping us find the perfect home in London – and all within a super tight schedule!
We were moving from abroad, and from the very start, he truly listened to our wishes, respected our budget, and he found us a place in exactly the right area. Professional, efficient, and genuinely helpful – we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!”

Alex helped us buy a property for our daughter in West London and was a godsend! We’d been messed about by a few agents and were also gazumped just before we were due to exchange, so working with Alex was a breath of fresh air and he was extremely helpful throughout the process keeping things simple and stress-free. We’d highly recommend Alex to anyone that needs help buying a property in London.

I had an amazing experience working with Alex. He made the entire process of moving internationally so much less stressful and made the transition to London feel so easy. I’m so grateful for all his help and would definitely recommend him!

Georgia Berk

We cannot recommend Alex highly enough. He helped us find our rental flat while we were relocating to London, and his support before, during, and after the move was invaluable.

Alex was professional, proactive, and always available to help, making what could have been a stressful process feel seamless. While we were still in Madrid, he visited numerous properties on our behalf and carefully filtered the options, taking the time to truly understand our needs and priorities. His judgement was excellent, and by the time we arrived in London, much of the hard work had already been done, allowing us to make a decision quickly and with confidence.

He was also able to secure us an off-market home that was exactly what we were looking for, which made a huge difference during our relocation.

Alex genuinely cares about his clients and delivers an exceptional level of service. We are incredibly grateful for all his help and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

Mariana Canaval

Forever grateful to Alex for finding and securing our dream home (which after a 2 year search we were starting to believe was impossible). He was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. Always felt in the safest hands knowing that his attuned communication style and expertise of the market would lead to perfectly pitched negotiations. We knew he had our priorities and best interests considered at all times, which was a relief in a space where you can so often get taken advantage of.

It sounds trite and over the top, but it’s true: I never believed in my wildest dreams that I would be living where I live today and Alex made it happen! Happy to speak to anyone who isn’t sure if the investment is worth it. I would never pay a travel agent fees for example, I’m a discerning and savvy consumer who felt like they knew their way around Rightmove etc so I struggled at first to believe it was going to be worth the cost but Alex’s chaperoning and insider knowledge meant that we are able to find ways around obstacles to our purchase that we wouldn’t have been able to navigate on our own.

He was super responsive and always available (and patient!) with any questions we had. Could not advocate more strongly for working with Alex on a property search.

We are a family of four relocating to London in April. Alex helped us finding properties that were off market (he has very good relationships with agents in the area), visited them on our behalf, advised on what to offer, negotiate and finally with the tenancy agreement. He even connected us with people that are helping us on furniture, logistics, etc. the relocating process can be very stressful but Alex made it very smooth. He performed well beyond expectations, really happy with the service he provided

Pedro Lopez de Guzman

We would wholeheartedly recommend Alex and Ridgestone Property to anyone looking to buy a home in London.

As first-time buyers, we couldn't have asked for a better buying agent. Alex took the time to really understand what we were looking for and helped us find a fantastic home that is exactly right for us and that we could not have sourced ourselves via usual methods / platforms.

He clearly explained what to expect at every stage of the process. Especially with one of us based outside the UK throughout much of the search and purchase process, his support, responsiveness and advice were invaluable and helped us complete smoothly, efficiently and at a great price.

We're so grateful for all of Alex's support and couldn't be happier with our experience.

London Home Buyers

London home buyers face some of the biggest challenges of all home seekers across the UK, as property within the nation’s capital is a valuable commodity. As such, many of those looking to find a place to live in London struggle to find a property that meets their needs, especially in certain prime postcodes where demand continuously outstrips supply. The rental market is extremely competitive with multiple tenants bidding on available properties and a large proportion of homes sold over £1,000,000 are done so through an off-market process.

London home finders from Ridgestone Property are here to help you navigate this challenging process and we have an outstanding track-record of delivering brilliant results for our valued clients.Whether you’re looking for a central London flat or a family home in a more residential area, our team of experts are able to put together a shortlist of stunning properties that meet your every need - often choosing from off-market listings that our clients would not have access to otherwise. Many of our clients are relocating from overseas and are therefore less familiar with the city and where the best locations are to live. This is where we add value and help guide you through possible options based on your individual search criteria, budget and requirements.

Client needs are prioritised every step of the way, from the first consultation to the final stage of signing the legal contract.
