Our story
Drury Estates was founded by Ray Fry and Mike Harris to help expatriate communities in Hong Kong and the Far East invest in and manage property portfolios in London. What began as a specialist advisory service has grown, over more than 30 years, into a full-service property consultancy serving private clients, family offices, institutional investors, and landlords across Central London.
Today, led by Managing Director Arthur Mellule, we remain fiercely independent. While larger agencies churn through clients and properties, we maintain a deliberately focused portfolio — because we believe every property and every client deserves genuine, personal attention.
Our office at 2 Nottingham Court in the heart of Covent Garden places us at the centre of the market we serve: London’s Zones 1 and 2.
What We Do
Property Acquisitions
The London property market is complex. Values shift dramatically across small distances, and an estimated 30–40% of properties are sold off-market. Our acquisition specialists give you objective, data-driven advice and access to properties — both on and off market — that you simply won’t find on your own.

Sales
When the time is right to sell, we market your property across Rightmove, Zoopla, OnTheMarket, and LonRes, complemented by targeted social media campaigns and our network of active buyers. Our Central London pricing expertise ensures you achieve the best possible result.
