Drury Estates was founded by Ray Fry and Mike Harris, initially to help expatriate community in Hong Kong and the Far East invest and manage their property portfolios in London. For over 30 years Drury Estates has grown to provide professional buying advice and property services to private clients, family offices and institutional investors.
We source and acquire the best available properties in London. We can then let, manage and sell them when the time is right - providing a single point of contact for the lifetime of your investment. Our strategic partnerships with architects, interior designers, private banks, tax specialists and solicitors help our clients to achieve their individual goals.
Drury Estates' mission statement is to provide a traditional and bespoke service whilst utilising the latest technologies and data to provide unparalleled insight to our clients.
Property Purchase
Navigating the London market can be overwhelming. Values vary considerably across small geographical areas, neighbourhoods have their own personalities and information is inconsistent even in the current age of the internet. Some 30–40% of properties are sold off-market without ever making it into the public realm. It is our job to arm you with the objective facts and give you access to the very best properties at the time of purchase so you can make the best possible buying decisions.
Rental Search
Whether it be for the short term or somewhere more permanent. Our specialists are on hand to guide you through the fast-paced rentals market, securing you the best property on the best possible terms and making your relocation as smooth as possible.
Sales
We advertise on all major portals such as Rightmove and Zoopla, where 90% of property searches start. We are also proud members of LonRes. Recently we have expanded into social media advertising across Facebook, Instagram and Twitter as these channels become increasingly important to buyers and sellers.
Lettings
We carefully vet tenants with a rigorous identity and referencing procedure to mitigate risk wherever possible. We can provide lettings-only, rent collection and rent guarantee services to suit.
Property Management
Professional management for complete peace of mind. We take care of everything and provide tenants with a 24/7 service, including check-in and check-out, certification, rent collection, maintenance coordination, bill payments, void period care and full financial reporting.
Short Let Property Management
If you are interested in maximising your property yield, we offer short let management including listings on Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia and Plum Guide. Our fully hands-off service covers guest check-ins, maintenance, cleaning and linen services.
