Aylesford International, SW10

Aylesford: the untypical estate agent With more than £20 billion (yes, billion) in property sales behind us, Aylesford is the choice of sellers and buyers who apply a little creative thinking to their property. Aylesford is proudly independent, and for nearly 50 years our deeply personal service has been the catalyst for matching high quality property with serious buyers. We are famed for our discretion. Indeed, many of our sales are confidential off-market transactions. We are also very well connected, enabling us to create exciting opportunities. This includes cultivating a steady stream of well-financed buyers from other countries. Indeed, over half of our sales are now to well-financed individuals from abroad. Aylesford's creative techniques are also supported by a full armoury of tools including the internet, advertising and skilfully applied PR. You continually see our client's properties in the broadsheet property pages. Our standards around the world Back in the heady 1970s, Aylesford was one of the first agents to venture overseas. Today, we represent prime property to buy or rent in 12 countries worldwide. Our focus on quality, not quantity, ensures we can bring a first-hand knowledge of each territory, to help buyers and sellers alike. UK lettings Aylesford also offers a thriving lettings division, again with a highly personal service at its heart. As a result, some landlords have entrusted their properties to us for more than 30 years. We have long-established contacts with the leading relocation agencies and corporate tenants. We also take a deep interest in our incoming tenants and families, to ensure that every detail - from the equipment in a kitchen to transport links and schools - has been considered. We then support our landlords with an unrivalled management service, fielding every maintenance call, collecting rent and generally watching over their property as if it were our own.
