What sets us apart?
Estate agency is often seen as purely about tough negotiation and headline prices, with courtesy treated as optional. We disagree. How we treat people directly influences the results we achieve.
While we’re appointed by the seller and focused on securing the best possible terms, that doesn’t mean creating conflict with the buyer. They’re not an adversary - they’re making a major financial and personal decision. Strong negotiation and respectful conduct can, and should, coexist.
Property transactions are complex, involving legal, financial and emotional factors. When communication breaks down, deals falter. When people feel informed and treated fairly, transactions progress more smoothly.
Moves are usually driven by significant life events - exciting or difficult - and in those moments, clients need clarity and composure as much as expertise. The agent’s role is to coordinate the process, manage expectations and maintain momentum through to completion.
Being respectful doesn’t weaken negotiation; it strengthens it. And the results reflect that. A high proportion of our sales achieve guide price or above, outperforming wider trends. In our experience, a calm, considered approach isn’t a soft skill - it’s a commercial advantage.

FAQs
- Sole Agency
If you choose to work exclusively with Circa London Estate Agents, for a set period, the fee for a sole agency agreement is lower than any other options. This is because we know we are your only instructed agent and therefore provided we do good job, we will receive a fee for our efforts. However, if you accept an offer through another agent during the period we are sole agents, you may be liable to pay two sets of fees. You should read and fully understand the Terms of Business before committing to them. - Multiple Agency
In this case, you can instruct several agents at once. However, the fees are usually higher than for a sole agency. As only the agent who introduces the eventual buyer will be due a fee. It’s important that you do not to list with too many agents, as this gives the impression that you are a desperate seller. This potentially encourages low offers and you risk achieving below the market value.
