We work with you, not for you.
As some of the most experienced and successful negotiators in Mayfair, being part of the local community means we’re able to give you the most accurate and straight-talking advice around. Our clients often become life-long friends as we give you one point of contact from start to finish, not pass you from pillar to post as many a company do. If you would like to discuss the sale or rental of your property we’d welcome your call, please contact us.
We’re here to help you buy better, sell smarter and let with confidence
To Let
When we founded OB, we knew that the property sector needed something new, dynamic and energising – rather than just another corporate estate agency. We bring a wealth of experience from London’s biggest property companies, then inject a healthy dose of proactivity, passion and boots-on-the-ground knowledge to forge long-lasting relationships with our lettings clients who return to us time and again. Escape the ordinary. Discover London’s greatest properties before anyone else.
OB wins Best British Letting Agent 21, 22, 23 in the British Property Awards.
To Buy
With a team led by some of the most qualified people in the market, our expertise and relationships within the Prime Central London real estate market means we not only bring a progressive approach to sales, lettings, development and management, but we make it hassle-free. We bypass outdated rules and aggressive sales tactics. Being part of the local community means we’re able to give you the most accurate and straight-talking advice around.
