At Kay & Co we have an unrivalled knowledge of Central London. This, coupled with our knowledgeable and friendly people, enables us to offer you the professional service you deserve.
We've been in business since 1982 doing what we do best, that's letting and selling prime property. We've worked in every conceivable type of market condition which has enabled us to develop the skills and experience to deliver the results that you want and to offer you the best possible guidance. But it's not just results that you can expect from us; it's a friendly, approachable and professional service that puts you, the client, first every step of the way.
At Kay & Co, we know the areas within which we operate better than anyone. Indeed many of our staff live locally so are well placed to offer you our intimate street by street, building by building knowledge. We know the people who live there and why they choose to. It's this knowledge which we are able to deliver on many different levels that puts us ahead of our competitors and is why we have an unrivalled sales record and is why so many of our clients choose to use us time and time again.
Knowledge
When you ask for a market appraisal of your property you will be visited by a director or senior member of staff who has the experience and knowledge of the local market, the type of properties to rent in the area, the potential demand for them, the rental prices being achieved at that time and the kind of tenants who might be interested in your property. We will discuss with you the best pricing strategy to ensure the best possible result and will advise how we will co-ordinate marketing to ensure we attract the right type of tenant to your property.
As letting a property can be a daunting process, we will also advise as to what to do next in order to prepare for marketing, from organising documentation to presenting your property in the best possible light for viewings, as well as clarify how your mortgage lender, your insurance company and maybe even your freeholder can all play a part in the process.
Management
Many landlords opt for our Management Service. Our Property Management department can take away the hassle that comes with being a landlord, giving you the peace of mind that both your property and your tenants are well looked after during the tenancy.

Presentation
Once instructed, Kay & Co will arrange for a professional photographer and floor planner to photograph the interior and exterior of your property and compile a floor plan. We can also arrange for an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to be carried out if you have not already done so. We will then send our high specification glossy brochures to print.
Proactive Approach
Over and above these strict codes of conduct, Kay & Co are proud of our extremely proactive approach. Kay & Co certainly have a visible presence in the areas we cover, with our fleet of liveried Smart cars and frequent sponsorship of local events all year round. Our free valuations are always prompt, as is the valuable feedback we provide following viewings, which are frequently out of business hours or during weekends. We negotiate fairly with potential tenants, but always put our clients’ needs first through the entire lettings process, from start to finish.
Maximum Exposure
In prime positions on busy streets, our branches benefit from excellent passing trade. But we fully realise the importance of advertising and the benefits it can bring. We advertise in a range of local media lifestyle magazines such as The London Magazine, The Grove, Matchbox, The Marylebone Journal, The Portman and Move To. For some properties we undertake specific campaigns in Tatler, Vogue, GQ and House and Garden, as well as The Times, The Sunday Times, The FT, The Telegraph and even a range of international publications. We have a dedicated PR department who make full use of editorial opportunities and we have an extensive record of achieving press coverage for even the most seemingly ordinary of properties.
Property Portals & Online Marketing 
Once instructed, your property will be visible on the Kay & Co website and many of the leading property portals, such as Primelocation, Rightmove, Findaproperty, Propertyfinder, Zoopla, Homes and Property, Globrix and many others. We also ensure the Kay & Co website is presented first by search engines for property searches made in the areas we cover. We make this our priority to guarantee maximum exposure for your property.
Industry Standards
We adhere to strict codes of conduct set by the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA), the Association of Residential Lettings Agencies (ARLA) and the National Approved Lettings Scheme (NALS). Members of all three professional bodies, Kay & Co also maintain full indemnity cover for all our services and we are regulated by The Property Ombudsman for both sales and lettings, approved by the Office of Fair Trading.
