FAQs

Thinking about working with Middleton Advisors? Below, we’ve answered the most common questions clients ask us about our services, expertise, and approach to buying and selling prime property.

We are different from traditional estate agents because we have specialist teams for both buying and selling. When you are acquiring, you get impartial advice and access to on and off market opportunities. And when you are selling, you receive a discreet, strategy led process that reaches the right buyers and aims to achieve full value.

We have been advising clients since 2008. In that time, we have completed hundreds of transactions worth more than £1.7 billion across London, UK, and international markets.

We primarily operate in London and southern England, but our Estates and Special Projects team regularly advises on international acquisitions. Many of our clients also come from overseas, and we guide them through the UK market.

We work with a diverse range of clients, including but not limited to entrepreneurs, business leaders, families, individuals from the media and sports, professionals, international buyers, and investors. Every client has unique goals, and we tailor our advice to help them make the best decisions for lifestyle, investment, or legacy.

Off-market deals dominate the top end of the property market, and they can be complex to navigate. Professional advice ensures you see the full range of opportunities, make sound judgments, and negotiate from a position of strength.

We regularly advise clients on the purchase of apartments and pied-à-terres across prime London. Our team helps you identify the right neighbourhood, negotiate effectively, and complete with confidence.

Our London Sales team manages everything from pricing strategy and buyer introductions to negotiation and completion. We aim to make the process efficient, discreet, and successful, while always protecting your interests.

Our Estates and Special Projects team has extensive experience sourcing farmland and rural investments. We provide specialist advice on acquisition, value, and long-term strategy tailored to each client’s objectives.

We begin by understanding your goals, priorities, and lifestyle needs. From there, we search the market, introduce suitable opportunities, and guide you through negotiations, contracts, and completion with professional support.

Discretion sits at the heart of our business. We protect the privacy of every client and ensure that their identity and intentions remain confidential throughout the entire process.

Many of our clients look for second homes outside London, and we regularly advise on properties in the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire, Hampshire, and beyond. We make sure your purchase matches both lifestyle and investment goals.

We cover the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Hampshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire, Surrey, and Sussex. Our country team knows these markets in detail and has built strong local connections that benefit our clients.

We often advise families who want to be close to leading schools or universities. Our team helps identify properties that balance location, lifestyle, and long-term value.

Private sales usually complete within 8 to 12 weeks once a buyer is engaged, while open-market sales can take several months longer. Because we approach motivated buyers directly, we remove delays and keep the process efficient without compromising on value.

You decide how involved you wish to be. Some clients like to review every option, while others prefer us to filter and present only the most suitable opportunities. In both cases, we keep you fully informed.

We specialise in premium residential homes, apartments, pied-à-terres, country houses, and estates. Each transaction is different, but all require discretion, expertise, and trusted market insight.

Some clients buy purely for lifestyle, while others see property as a long-term investment. We provide tailored advice that balances both and ensure your purchase meets financial and personal goals.
