OUR HISTORY

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices London Kay & Co | Marler & Marler is the exclusive London affiliate of Warren Buffett’s Global Real Estate Network, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.

Starting as the London-based estate agency known as London Kay & Co, established and lead by father and son duo, Samuel and Martin Bikhit, London Kay & Co quickly grew into one of Central London's leading luxury real estate agencies.

In 2018, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices conducted a thorough evaluation of potential local partners by its global management team and identified London Kay & Co as the favourite partner for the London market due to the synergy with its ethos, values and aspirations for growth. In September 2018, London Kay & Co and BHHS entered into a long-term exclusive affiliate agreement and was rebranded Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices London Kay & Co | Marler & Marler (BHHS London Kay & Co | Marler & Marler).

In 2021, the recent acquisition of 163-year-old Marler & Marler, established Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices London as Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices London Kay & Co | Marler & Marler, expanding their already recognisable presence across prime central London.

Marler & Marler has been operating from Sloane Street for the past 163 years, encompassing Knightsbridge, Kensington, South Kensington, Belgravia and Chelsea meaning that Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices London Kay & Co | Marler & Marler operation can now add these prime central London neighbourhoods to its growing repertoire of locations it covers.

With the overarching ‘London’ added to their name, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices London Kay & Co | Marler & Marler can now work together in synergy to continue their comprehensive service to their combined clients and the prime central London market.
