Every so often, a client brief comes along that really puts our expertise to the test. This was one of those searches.
The requirements were clear, but far from easy to deliver:
- A limited budget
- A large lateral layout with minimal stairs inside or out or required a lift
- No ground or lower ground floor, but still a high-end finish
- Pet friendly for three pets (1 dog & 2 cats)
- Close to a park for daily dog walks
- Central location, with one of 2 specialist nurseries nearby for their child
Time was also tight. The client flew into London, and within a short window we had to explore different neighbourhoods, assess options, and refine the search.
Despite exhausting on-market choices, we refused to settle for “good enough.” Persistence paid off when we sourced an off-market property that met every single requirement.
After careful negotiation, the deal was agreed, delivering the right home in the right place, within the client’s timeframe, who were indeed lovely to work with.
“Russell is a clear real estate expert who also knows everything about renting with pets.
His expertise made our home search immensely easier.
Despite having lived in London before, we’d underestimated the complexities of the London rental market with pets and it was great to have Russell on our side.
During the whole process, which lasted longer than we expected, Russell was always positive that we would have a good outcome. He never sounded frustrated or annoyed but instead carried on and on until we were fully happy. His positive and professional attitude made a big difference. Calm and efficient under pressure, he completely “got us” after the first few visits, and could pinpoint exactly what we needed. Listening to our needs and wishes, but also making us consider new areas of London.
A pleasure to be around to chat, and you get to do that a lot hunting flats, Russell gives the impression that he could feel at home with anyone which in turn makes you feel at home. Thank you, Russell, from our furry and human tribe.”
Another example of how Pets Lets combines market knowledge, creativity, and determination to make the “impossible” possible.
