fantastic refurbishment opportunity
on one of the best mews addresses.
The owners had been mis-advised by
another agent. Maskells was introduced,
and we put in place a clear and effective
strategy to achieve a result that
exceeded our clients expectations.

Maskells has been at the heart of
the central London property market
for over 60 years, and in that time
we have handled demand from
every corner of the globe. From the
oil rich Arab states in the seventies,
other financial centres in the leadup to the Big Bang in the eighties,
Eastern Europe in the nineties
following the fall of the Berlin Wall,
and over the last twenty years,
increasing demand from China and
the Far East, India, the Americas and
Australasia. And let us not forget
Europe and our own domestic
market. The spending power of
buyers registered with Maskells is
currently £6 billion.
With all this demand it is little
surprise that 70% of all the
properties we sell and let are
to international buyers and
tenants. The bulk of this demand
is business-led and this is where
we excel in offering a full suite of
services – sales, lettings, property
management and relocation
assistance. Whether we are selling
flats to overseas students with
wealthy parents, mansions to
entrepreneurs and captains of
industry; apartments as a second or
third residence or as an investment,
we are able to assist in many ways
beyond the initial transaction.
One of the reasons overseas
investors come to us is because of
our property management service
which takes over the day-to-day
handling of their assets, to ensure
efficiency, maximising rents and
minimising arrears and voids.
Our relocation service handles
requirements from international
companies transferring staff to
London, with brands such as LVMH,
Chanel, Total, Shell, Goldman Sachs
and Nomura trusting Maskells
to take care of their employees’
housing needs.
With London aiming to be net zero
carbon by 2030 and the population
estimated to grow by a further 1
million by 2043, there seems to
be no end to the attraction of this
truly global city. For those selling
or letting property in central
London and keen to benefit
from the purchasing power of an
international audience, Maskells is
the answer - your local expert with
global reach. n
