We like to do things differently. So, rather than rely on chance, over-exposed property portals and mainstream travel sites, we give you tailored advice and exclusive access to outstanding properties in London and abroad. In OB Private, you will benefit from the total discretion of being featured in our password-protected members’ area when your house is for sale or rent totally off-market.
Over the last 10 years in Mayfair, 42% of the deals we did were off-market. We’re in a unique position to meet a growing demand for a platform that protects people’s privacy, along with their homes. OB Private allows you to control that.
