London market comment. London’s property experts
Following a busy summer market, demand to live in the capital is stronger than ever.
With a long−established presence across London and its surrounding areas, Jackson−Stops combines expert insight with a personalised service. Our teams take the time to understand each customer’s priorities, building lasting relationships built on trust.
Harry Buchanan, Sales Director at Jackson− Stops Pimlico & Westminster, explains, “We are proud to have retained our core values, with colleagues who understand the market and the needs of each individual. We visit every home, and clients work with the same consultants from the first viewing through to completion, with 150 to 200 hours of work invested in each sale or let. This consistency means they can be confident that their home is handled by people who know their circumstances and understand the property first−hand.”
Across our network, Jackson−Stops assists thousands of people at any given time, which is why having a prominent high street presence is more important than ever. Harry explains, “Sellers and landlords rely on our guidance and appreciate having local agents close by who take a hands−on approach to every instruction.”
Complete confidence
In an increasingly competitive market and with the Renters’ Rights Act now in full effect, being supported by experienced professionals offers reassurance that everything is well managed and compliant. “Our clients rely on us to provide expert guidance, ensuring every aspect of the lettings process is handled seamlessly and in line with the latest legislation,” comments Alex McConnell, Lettings Director at Jackson−Stops Pimlico & Westminster. “More than 70 per cent of our business comes through recommendations and referrals, which demonstrates the dedication of our colleagues, who strive to achieve remarkable results while making everything as straightforward as possible.”
First-class experience
Feedback from our customers is extremely valuable to us, as we know they have a choice of who they work with. “We are proud to have received thousands of Google reviews, and have an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars,” Harry comments. “This reflects the outstanding level of care provided by our teams, who deliver a fantastic service.
Our people are the key to our success, and investment in their long−term training and development is at the heart of the business. Over 90 per cent of our managers began their careers as trainees, showing the genuine opportunities for progression at Jackson−Stops. By focusing on developing talent from within the business, we maintain the high standards of service our customers expect.”
Continued demand
London remains an exciting place to live and invest, attracting buyers and tenants from around the world. “We have experienced an incredibly busy summer across both sales and lettings, achieving superb results,” Alex explains. “We recently let a luxury apartment in a prestigious Chelsea development, having secured four offers at the asking price. By making a bespoke marketing plan and managing interest from the outset, we were able to achieve an excellent result for the landlord, securing a quality tenant who was the right fit for the property. Our offices work closely together, allowing us to connect prospective buyers and tenants with the most suitable homes for their requirements.”
From Mayfair and Pimlico to Teddington and Weybridge, Jackson−Stops uses the strength of its network to help clients stay one step ahead in a fast−moving market.
Future ready
“The autumn months present an exceptional opportunity for selling and letting, as demand from those moving to the capital for work or to study is at a record high,” Harry concludes.
“If you are curious about the value of your property or are considering a move, our advice is not to wait. Our local teams will be delighted to assist and provide advice tailored to your needs.”
