Legal services & Post-purchase support

We can recommend conveyancers and guide you through the entire legal process—from surveys to exchange and completion.

We also have connections with highly regarded mortgage experts who specialise in high-net-worth property purchases.

Our support doesn't end when you receive the keys; we're here to introduce you to developers, planning experts, interior designers, and any other professionals you may need to make your house a home.

International buyers

International clients form a significant portion of our clientele, and we are dedicated to catering to their unique needs.

We can assist with advice on schooling through our connections with bespoke services. Our team includes members who are fluent in Japanese, Mandarin, German, Spanish, and Danish, ensuring clear communication and cultural understanding.

Privacy

We offer a bespoke, one-on-one service, working with only a select number of clients at any given time.

Understanding the demands of busy and private lifestyles, we strive to present a curated selection of properties that meet your criteria, providing video tours when required.

For clients who prefer discretion, we are adept at conducting searches with the utmost confidentiality. We do not participate in surveys or external advertising; our clientele is primarily built through referrals.

Fees

Aside from a small fee for Know Your Client (KYC) source of funds checks, Crown & Key does not operate on a retainer-based model like most buying agents.

This means we only earn a fee if we successfully secure a property for you. Our fees for finding and purchasing a property are 1.5% (plus VAT) of the purchase price, or 15% of the negotiated saving from the asking price—whichever is greater.
