CITY SCOPE DEVELOPMENTS

Sourcing prime properties in central London requires specialist expertise – in depth market knowledge, an exemplary vision and a solid understanding of the comparables to support that purchase. Over the last 25 years  - the traditional prime central London property market – Belgravia, Mayfair, Kensington, Knightsbridge, Chelsea have become increasingly desirable among wealthy international buyers. A key-note developer working working in PCL since 1999, Steve Aldridge, Managing Director of City Scope Developments understands the requirements of this fastidious market, providing a bespoke private client service comprising the sourcing of unique, off-market real estate as well as a tailored project management service from property planning, legal and purchase essentials, through to project renovation and after sales essentials.

Steve explains: ‘Generally speaking, overseas buyers are looking for turnkey properties: it’s hard to oversee a project from overseas, which is where City Scope come in. Our speciality is property where we can increase the square footage, ideally adding a couple of floors below ground. With house prices at around £2,500/square foot in PCL districts, the addition of an extra thousand square feet – even at lower prices below ground – makes eminent sense.’
