We sell residential property across central London, often starting with homes we already know well. Listings are marketed on the major portals, with viewings and the sales process handled through to completion.
Whether it’s a long tenancy, a few months, or a holiday rental, we take care of the whole process, so your property is well managed at every stage.
We sell homes we already know. Unlike a standard agent, we understand the history, maintenance, and potential of your property. We leverage this “insider knowledge” to market your home effectively to a pool of serious buyers who are already active in our local patch, often resulting in a faster and smoother sale.
First, we ensure your property is presented in its best light by commissioning professional photography and detailed floorplans at no cost to you. We then ensure maximum exposure by listing it on our own website and all the major national portals, including Rightmove, Zoopla, PrimeLocation, and OnTheMarket. In addition, we proactively market your home to our local network, matching your property with our database of active buyers.
Yes. By law, a valid EPC is required before we can begin marketing your property. If you do not have a valid certificate, we can arrange this for you using our panel of trusted third-party assessors. We pass the cost directly to you with no markup. The standard fee is £80 (inc. VAT).
We are supervised by HMRC for anti-money laundering compliance. Strict adherence to these regulations is required at specific stages:
– For vendors (before marketing) – by law, we must obtain valid photo ID, proof of address, and verify proof of ownership of the property before we can begin marketing. We cannot upload listing details or conduct viewings until these checks are complete.
– For buyers – we require valid photo ID, proof of address, and verification of the source of funds (e.g., bank statements) before a sale can proceed.
Yes, we manage all three types of tenancy, subject to your property’s leasehold conditions and local planning regulations.
– Long Lets: Standard tenancies of 6 months or longer. This provides the most stability.
– Short Lets: Tenancies between 1 to 6 months.
– Holiday Lets: Short-stay, weekly agreements (e.g., for vacationers).
Note that the rents achieved and the fees payable differ depending on the type of let chosen. We are happy to advise on which model best suits your investment goals..

Yes. We engage professional property photographers and floorplanners for every property we market, at no cost to you.
In addition, our team creates engaging video tours in-house. We produce both landscape versions (for portals and YouTube) and portrait versions (optimized for social media) to ensure maximum reach across all platforms. We also send these video tours directly to registered applicants.
We can also arrange professional property staging to maximise the appeal of your home for rent or sale. For this bespoke service, we will obtain quotes for the necessary furniture or styling. Please note that a Design & Management fee of 15% (plus VAT) is applicable on the total cost of the staging works.
What’s M2’s tenant referencing process?
We use a leading third-party specialist, Goodlord, to conduct comprehensive background checks on all prospective tenants. This rigorous process includes:
– Identity Verification & Right-to-Rent checks (compliance with Home Office rules).
– Credit History checks (including CCJs and bankruptcy).
– Income & Employment verification (affordability checks).
– Previous Landlord references.
We will only recommend a tenancy proceed once these checks are satisfactorily completed.
We follow a rigorous chronological checklist to ensure full compliance and protection for your property:
– Compliance Assessment – We verify the status of all safety requirements. By law, an EPC must be commissioned before marketing begins. We will arrange for all other necessary certificates (e.g., Gas Safety, EICR) to be completed and valid before the tenancy starts.
– Reservation & Special Requests – We formally agree to any specific tenant requests (such as furnishing requirements) with you. Once terms are settled, we collect a reservation fee and commence referencing via Goodlord.
– The Contract – We draft and issue the Tenancy Agreement for digital signature by all parties.
– Initial Monies – We collect the first month’s rent and the security deposit (which is then registered with MyDeposits, a government-approved scheme).
– Inventory & Check-in – A professional Inventory & Schedule of Condition is created, followed by final pre-move checks (testing smoke alarms, reading meters, etc.) before keys are released..
