Estate Agents Richmond
Estate Agents in Richmond
I have been helping people sell, buy and let property in Richmond since 2006. When you work with me, you deal with me directly throughout. Not an account manager. Not a negotiator who takes over once you are on the market. Me.
A Few Words From David
I set up David McGeachie Estate Agents in 2006 because I wanted to run things properly. Not differently in a marketing sense, just practically. When you ask me to sell or let your property, I value it myself, conduct the viewings and negotiate the offers. There is no account manager in the middle, and no junior negotiator who takes over once you are on the market.
Richmond has been the heart of my work from the beginning. I know the streets well, I know the prices and I know the things that make individual properties harder or easier to sell. That knowledge has come from nearly twenty years of actually working here, not from a postcode database.
If you are thinking about selling or letting in Richmond, I am happy to come and see your property and talk through your options. There is no pressure and no obligation.
Selling Your Property in Richmond
Richmond attracts a broad range of buyers. Young professionals moving out of central London. Families wanting more space without leaving the city behind. Buyers relocating from further afield who want good schools, the river and Richmond Park. Understanding who your likely buyer is shapes everything about how a property is launched and handled.
Pricing a property correctly from day one matters far more than most people realise. An overpriced property sits on the market, loses momentum and rarely recovers its original asking price. I would rather give you an honest valuation than one you want to hear.
Properties close to Richmond Green, Richmond Bridge and the river consistently draw strong interest. Richmond Hill and the streets leading toward the Thames carry a premium that has held steady even in quieter periods. Period houses in these locations can attract buyers from across London and beyond.
How I Handle a Sale
Letting Property in Richmond
Richmond has a reliable lettings market. Good transport links from Richmond Station, the proximity of Richmond Park and Marble Hill Park, and quality local schools mean consistent demand from tenants who plan to stay for several years. For landlords, that tends to mean lower void periods and more manageable tenancies.
- All marketing and viewings
- Negotiation and referencing
- Tenancy agreement preparation
- Managing the process until move-in
- One-off fee of 8.4% of annual rent
- Or a monthly fee for the tenancy duration
- Everything in let only
- Rent collection included
- Managed locally from Twickenham
- Mid-term inspections every 6 months
- Tenancy renewals handled
- Full legal and regulatory compliance
Lettings legislation has become considerably more complex over the past few years. I keep on top of the requirements and make sure landlords I work with understand their obligations without making it more complicated than it needs to be.
Richmond Property Market
Richmond has held its value well over the years, and the fundamentals that support that remain in place. Excellent road and rail connections, direct trains from Richmond Station to Waterloo and the City, a varied choice of schools and a strong sense of community all contribute to steady buyer demand.
Flats and apartments close to Richmond Station draw consistent interest from buyers working in London. Houses with gardens in the streets around Richmond Green are popular with families, and the larger Victorian and Edwardian houses toward Richmond Hill continue to attract buyers from a wide catchment.
Richmond Bridge and the riverside stretch command a premium that has remained consistent even during slower periods in the wider market. Properties within a short walk of the Thames Path carry that added appeal whether you are selling or letting.
I would not claim the market is without its difficulties. Mortgage rates and economic conditions affect buyer confidence as they do everywhere. But Richmond is resilient, and a property at the right price, presented well and handled sensibly, will find its buyer.
Richmond: What Makes It Different
I live and work in this part of southwest London, so I am not describing Richmond from the outside. The streets around here have their own character and buyers who know them can be surprisingly specific about where they want to be. That specificity matters when you are pricing and marketing a property.

I visit properties personally and give my honest assessment of what your home is worth and how best to proceed. No obligation and no hard sell.
We decided to give our business to an independent estate agent as we wanted the quality of service an experienced owner manager would offer. David McGeachie Property Sales fitted the bill perfectly. We were not disappointed.Con O'Brien — Richmond
