I can't thank FG Consultants enough now that I am the proud owner of a beautiful new flat in Chelsea, it has far exceeded my expectations at the outset. I decided to use your services initially because I am abroad most of the time, and wanted to maximise my viewings when I was available.
However, I found many other benefits, most importantly the ability to view flats in different areas, something that is extremely difficult to manage through estate agents. Your impartial, unpushy advice and experience, particularly in the face of an escalating market and agent pressure were also invaluable. And of course the pleasure of a day in Sebastian's company cannot be overlooked!

Well all in all you made the daunting process as painless as possible, being always available and ready with practical unbiased advice. I felt like I was getting advanced warning on properties over a wide area of west London which was very reassuring. Getting to see several houses using your scooter was the best time saver possible. Natty helmets too.

Cinny at FG Consultants was truly incredible in helping me find an apartment-- she exceeded every expectation I had, and I am grateful for having had the opportunity to work with her. Having futilely searched on my own for over a week, I called Cinny in a state of frustration and desperation; incidentally, she was able to locate the ideal apartment for me within a matter of days, and offer me professional, thoughtful, invaluable advice throughout the process. In every way, she made what could have been a deeply stressful situation an absolute breeze. Within minutes of speaking with me over the telephone, Cinny was able to deduce exactly what it was I needed; though I had only outlined my situation, Cinny was able to pinpoint exactly the right locations, price range, and type of apartment best for me. I had spent hours describing what I wanted to other agents-- Cinny simply understood what I needed immediately, and got the job done both efficiently and properly. My experience in working with FG Consultants could not have been more positive, and I would describe their invaluable services with the highest possible recommendation; in fact, I would not advise attempting a move to London without them.

Working with Sebastian was the best idea I've ever had. His expertise and his practice were incredibly helpful every step of the way. More importantly, his kindness made purchasing a flat a seamless and pleasant experience.

We were referred to FG Consulting because we were both limited with time and just the thought of dealing directly with estate agents filled us with complete horror! From the start Sebastian had a challenge but it took him no time to present to us some fabulous properties. All the hard work evaporated and the whole process was actually fun. FG Consulting helped us with the whole process of our purchase, from negotiating the price, dealing with the agents, recommending surveyors, lawyers and removalist's. They even arranged to have the house pre-cleaned prior to us moving in! Sebastian's professional knowledge of the property market and his skilful ability to read his clients was exemplary. Not in a million years would we have found our new home without the guidance of FG Consulting. For that and too many other positive benefits to mention our experience with FG Consulting was not only a pleasure but worth every penny of their fee. Their service was totally professional, time efficient and hassle free. We cannot recommend them highly enough – pure magicians!

With a newborn baby and very little time spare I was desperate to find a home and FG Consultants proved to be invaluable. They found us not only a spectacular flat, but did so taking away all the tedium and hassle of having to deal with estate agents. It was a complete joy dealing with Sebastian and I urge anyone thinking of buying a property to enlist the help of him.

I could not recommend FG Consultants highly enough. They made everything so easy from an Orientation Day when I arrived to give me a sense of the town and the different areas to negotiating the best price on an apartment for me. That was just the start, they followed up with their excellent directory service advising on everything from theatre performances for visiting relations, helping me get tickets and finding me a cleaning lady.

FG Consultants made moving to London a pleasure. I had no idea which neighbourhood to live in, having only visited as a tourist once. They took me through the options, pointed out what night life there was, whether the area was busy at the weekend and how easy it was to get to work. They really made it a joy showing me hidden shops and boutiques. After my perfect flat was found, they sourced builders, decorators and now even a dog walker for me. They are the best.

I arrived in London and needed a school for my two children.Through FG affiliates we met with an educational expert and subsequently my daughter remained in the American system while my son joined the British one. They are both happy.

I wanted a flat in a trendy, urban area. FG Consultants quizzed me on my tastes and then narrowed down a search to three neighbourhoods and gave me a detailed tour. I love the area that I'm now in, it's perfect and one that I would never have found on my own.
