Mr R Schlipper

We are long time Hong Kong expat residents, we recently bought in Central London to be close to Europe, family and friends. We chose central London specifically for its currency and geographic diversification out of Australasia.

During our research we spoke to many friends that had London property experience and Jeremy McGivern was recommended by several friends who had purchased quality properties working with Jeremy.  …

Mr. & Mrs. J. Cole

We own several properties but have always felt that dealing with estate agents was a painful experience. In addition, we were also aware that we were not necessarily seeing the best opportunities, because the agents were always pushing overvalued properties and trying to achieve the highest price possible for the sellers.

We were introduced to Jeremy McGivern at Mercury Homesearch and after several years of reading his market analysis and predictions, we enquired about …

Mr. J. Roth

I highly recommend Jeremy and Mercury Homesearch. I have hired many advisers over the years and this has been one of my best decisions both in terms of convenience and economics.

My main home is not in London and it would have been very hard, near impossible, to find something by myself. Jeremy listened well to what we were looking for, kept us updated and found a place within a month. It was a near …

Mr. M. Stoleson

What I found most impressive was that the asking price of this apartment was 2/3 of the upper end of my budget. This showed me again that Jeremy was focussed on finding the most suitable property for my family rather than the highest fee he could earn.

In preparation for the offer Jeremy did all of the homework, showed us the comps and devised a negotiation strategy. His initial offer was much lower than I would have made despite the fact I handle negotiations as a regular part of my job. Indeed, the strategy he devised meant that I acquired the property at a favourable price and for less than the maximum price we had targeted, once again …

Mr & Mrs A Leslie (Lancaster Gate)

Jeremy is a super buying agent. His network of contacts and his knowledge of the market are unrivalled as are his attention to detail and care of his clients. He understood exactly what we were after and carefully chose the right property for us. His support …

Ms. Chay, Singapore

Jeremy is very knowledgeable, informative and helpful in our search for a property in London. He took time to understand our requirements and suggested areas that we should consider in our selection, highlighting issues that we might not have considered. This is especially important for foreign buyers like us with limited time and knowledge.

The role of a “Buyer’s Agent” cannot be overemphasized, it …

Mrs. K. Swann (Belgravia)

Jeremy more than added value in the negotiations as we acquired it for far less than my initial offer would have been. In addition, he handled the rather tricky seller and the agents so that the transaction progressed smoothly and I could focus on my various business interests.

If you are planning to acquire a property in London, I would highly recommend …

Ms. C. Choi, Hong Kong

I cannot recommend Jeremy highly enough.  At the outset, my husband had doubts over hiring a buying agent but Jeremy more than added value in the price negotiation. Having met numerous lawyers in my career, I can say that Jeremy has better negotiation skills than many lawyers.

This saved me a lot of time and stress.  Once the price was agreed …

Mr J. Lam

Jeremy McGivern provided sound commercial advice throughout the process and was always on hand to keep the transaction moving along despite the uncertainties of Brexit and a general election …

Mr. S. Makinson

We were lucky enough to find the property we wanted on our first visit (thanks to Jeremy sifting through at least 60 properties to identify four that might suit). He then negotiated a favourable price and after that Jeremy kept on to our case including …
