  • The Best & Finest Properties

    As an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, we are instructed by vendors early who appreciate our worldwide reach to potential buyers. If you are a buyer you need to register with us so that we can match our growing instructions to your preferences and we will be able to contact you even before a property goes live on our website. Make sure you register with us so that you will not miss out on a new to market property. We continue to sell properties across all price ranges, however we will apply Christie's International Real Estate brand and its extensive marketing to properties that we select over £900,000. Properties under £900,000 will be marketed by the same dedicated staff under our Hunt Estates brand but on the same website, thereby every vendor will benefit from increased website traffic. When we offer a client a property, the choice we present to you is refined according to what we learn about your tastes and preferences. We listen to our buyers carefully and will seek to match your requirements with ours stock to minimise any waste of buyer or seller’s time.
