What homeowners in London ask us first

  • Healthcare relocation files (LHSC/St. Joseph's) frequently need start-date employment letters accepted before first pay stub.
  • Student-rental streets near Western/Fanshawe can distort comparable selection — owner-occupied appraisals should stress comparable owner stock.
  • Refinance demand skews to debt-consolidation and renovation draws in older north-London stock.
