Buying and selling property, properly advised.

DBS Prime Estates is the property arm of London DBS — acting for buyers and sellers of prime residential and commercial real estate across the United Kingdom and India.

The desk

Two sides of every sale, handled with the same candour.

We buy and sell residential and commercial property: family houses and apartments, investment blocks, offices, retail and mixed-use buildings, and the development sites underneath them. Some are openly marketed. Most of the best are not.

For sellers, we run a discreet, evidenced process and bring qualified buyers rather than footfall. For buyers, we search, survey, underwrite and negotiate — including distressed positions where speed and privacy decide the outcome.

And because London DBS also builds, we do not hand a client a valuation and wish them luck. We survey the fabric, cost the refurbishment with our own construction, joinery and stone teams, and tell you what the building will actually take before contracts are exchanged.

What we transact.

Residential Sales

Houses, apartments and whole terraces brought to the right buyer privately — priced on evidence, not on hope.

Residential Acquisitions

Buying on your behalf: searching, surveying and negotiating prime homes and investment stock across London and the wider UK.

Commercial Investment

Offices, retail units and mixed-use buildings acquired or disposed of on covenant strength and real trading numbers.

Development Sites

Consented and unconsented land, conversions and prime schemes — with our own build teams able to cost the works.

Off-Market & Distressed

Owners and lenders who will only transact privately. Speed, discretion and capital decide those outcomes.

Portfolio Advisory

Reviewing what you hold, recommending what to keep, sell or reposition — and executing it end to end.

How we work

Four rules we keep.

01

Quiet before loud

The best assets never reach the open market. Our value is the relationship that exists before the instruction does.

02

Underwrite honestly

We tell clients when a deal does not work. A refused mandate has kept more capital than any completed one.

03

Buy the building, price the works

Because the group builds, we cost the refurbishment at bid stage — not after completion, when it is too late.

04

Two markets, one desk

Experienced teams in the UK and India, so cross-border buyers and sellers meet on ground both sides understand.

No obligation, no theatre.

Tell us what you are buying, selling or holding. We will give you a candid view of the asset — and say so plainly if the numbers do not work.
