| WHAT DO WE DO? |
|
| Property Vision gives independent
advice to buyers and tenants who wish to buy or rent
the best property, across a wide price range, in London,
the country and the South of France. |
|
| If you are looking for something
out of the ordinary – the highest quality in its
particular market in any price range – we can help.
Finding the best is difficult in that the best is always
in demand – it sells quickly and often before it
is advertised. This can make finding a property through
magazines and the internet a frustrating affair. |
|
Because we’re in the market
for the best, our service is designed to ensure:
- you get to it before someone else
does
- there are no hidden problems
- you don’t overpay for it –
quality is never cheap but the range of possible
outcomes can be very wide
- you get what you want – our relationships
with estate agents, which have been built up over
many years, nearly always make our client the preferred
bidder.

|
| Property Vision has been in business
for 24 years and we bought over £400 million of
property last year for our clients. We have a staff
of over 50 located in 4 offices covering 20 counties in the
country, all the prime residential areas of London and
the South of France. We are a small company with a big
reputation for doing one thing and one thing only –
acting on behalf of buyers and tenants. |
| |
| WHO DO WE WORK FOR? |
|
In London we work for buyers
with budgets of £750,000 plus – this is
now the minimum for a 1-bedroom flat. In the country
we work for buyers with budgets of £1 million
plus. In the South of France,
we work for buyers with budgets from €1.5 million
which is the starting price for prime properties in the
area we cover.
Who are these buyers? Contrary to popular assumption,
75% of them are based in the UK. The common denominator
is that they are busy, demanding and used to receiving
exceptional service. Over 60% of them come to us on
the recommendation of a past client. |
|
| WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT? |
|
| Other individuals and companies
say they provide the same service – but, in our
experience, individuals are restricted by the limits
of a single pair of hands and many companies are not
independent but the buying-arm of an estate agent. |
|
| We are the market leader in our
specialist field – which is why we are now part
of HSBC Private Bank. We have been doing it longer and
have more people covering a wider area and in more depth
than anyone else. We know that size and experience are
no substitute for quality and we are fiercely proud
and protective of our reputation which has taken 24
years to build. |
|
| We’re also different because
we see ourselves as a service business rather than a
property company. Of course, we have to get to the best
properties before anyone else, know our market intimately
and values precisely. We have to do the most thorough
due-diligence and negotiate the best price for our clients
– but, in our view, this is like a bank getting
the statement right or a hotel arranging clean towels
– if you can’t do this, then you aren’t
even on the starting blocks. |
|
| The difficult bit is managing
all these elements to create the world-class service
our clients demand of Property Vision. To deliver this
we listen, we think and we put integrity and confidentiality
at the heart of what we do. We care more, try harder
and most importantly, we get results. |
|
| Business school speak? Yes, and
we’re proud of it. All our executives go to Harvard,
Insead, Barcelona and the London Business School to
learn how the world’s greatest service companies
do it. We want to measure ourselves against them, to
aspire to the standards of very best in the world, to
be superlative rather than merely comparatively better. |
