Simon Pritchard-Smith has worked in the central London property market since 1982. He has always dealt at the top end of the market and has excellent experience when dealing with property on the larger estates such as the Grosvenor and Cadogan, where he has been involved with lease extension valuations. He is very experienced in advising clients on the potential cost of lease extensions and freehold enfranchisements. His knowledge of individual buildings and the associated leases within these central areas enables him to identify immediately what is and is not worth inspecting, substantially reducing the amount of wasted time for prospective purchasers. Since the mid 80s, Simon has also been involved in the property development side of the business. He is experienced in giving advice on acquiring individual units to entire blocks of flats, and advising on how to maximise value and market the properties. He has 24 years’ experience of acquiring apartments for the niche developers in the Belgravia and Knightsbridge areas. His knowledge also extends to West London having acted for a number of clients purchasing residential and commercial investment property.
