There is currently well over three hundred and fifty million pounds worth of properties available off-market in Notting Hill and Holland Park.
And it would be a mistake to think that only properties over £10m are ever really sold without appearing on the property portals, this is far from true. Several properties between £1m and £5m are sold off market.
Another misunderstanding about off-market properties in Notting Hill and Holland Park is that they are overpriced. While true in some cases, would it be unfair to suggest that many properties on the websites are also overpriced?
So, being concerned about how off-market properties are priced is a poor reason for deciding not to look for off-market opportunities. Indeed, it is essential to understand what makes owners decide to sell off-market (there are many reasons) and negotiate accordingly.
And one advantage you will have is that you are far less likely to end up in a bidding battle if a property is not being openly marketed.
So, would you be against giving yourself an advantage over other buyers by having first refusal on these properties?
“Jeremy quickly sourced a selection of properties which met our requirements and one in particular stood out – a stunning Georgian house which was much wider than the standard London home and which also had exceptionally high ceilings. The house was not on the open market so we would never have known of its existence.” Mr & Mrs Ybarra

This is not just theory. These are the strategies and tactics I use to find my clients properties the average buyer will never see.
“The first few properties I saw met my requirements – high ceilings, close to a park and with good views – but were not quite right. He then found an exceptional duplex apartment which was not on the open market, so I would not have seen it without Jeremy’s expertise and contacts.” Mr P Horsky
You can use many of these techniques yourself. I’d be happy to tell you more. Simply email me at jeremy@mercuryhomesearch.com or call 02034578855 (+442034578855 from outside the UK).
