Prime and super-prime London property management
A £5m house in Knightsbridge is not managed the way a two-bed flat is managed. The tenant expects a named contact, the owner is often abroad, and a bad contractor costs more than the fee.
Prime London property management covers lettings, tenant vetting, rent collection, maintenance and compliance for high-value homes and landlord portfolios, typically on a full-management basis because the owner is overseas or time-poor. Fees are quoted as a percentage of rent and rise with the service level: reactive maintenance, vetted contractors, staff supervision, void management and periodic condition reporting all sit at different price points. Ask what is in the fee and what is charged on top before comparing quotes.

Prime London property management: common questions
What does luxury property management in London cost?
It is quoted as a percentage of the rent collected, and the range is wide because the service level is wide. A let-only service, a full-management service and a service that supervises staff and refurbishment are three different products.
Can you manage a house while we live abroad?
Yes — that is most of this work. You get a named manager, an agreed contact window in your timezone, approval thresholds for spend, and written condition reporting so decisions are not made blind.
Do you handle high-value lettings as well as management?
Yes. Marketing, referencing, right to rent, affordability checks, deposit handling and the tenancy paperwork, then the same team manages the tenancy afterwards rather than handing it to a different department.
Can you act as a buying agent in prime London as well?
Yes. Survey, legal and tax work is carried out by your appointed RICS surveyor, solicitor and tax adviser.
These answers are general guidance. Confirm current terms, availability and requirements directly, and obtain appropriately qualified advice where legal, tax, finance or regulated decisions are involved.
