Greater London Properties (GLP)

Greater London Properties is led by Rob and Kate Hill alongside an experienced team with 55 years of combined sales experience and 75 years across lettings. That depth matters because GLP does not approach a property from only one side of the market.

For sellers, it means evidence-led valuations, honest conversations about pricing and presentation, experienced negotiation and marketing created by GLP’s own in-house photography and video team.

For landlords, it means detailed rental advice, proactive compliance support, experienced property management and a particularly careful approach to selecting the right tenant.

The two sides of the business often overlap. A landlord may be deciding whether to re-let or sell. A tenant may later become a buyer. An investment buyer may need to understand both the purchase price and the rental history of the property. GLP’s sales and lettings teams can look at those decisions together rather than in isolation.

Independence is central to the way the agency operates. There is no national head office setting a corporate target or steering the advice. GLP says what it believes the evidence supports, even when that means having a difficult conversation.

That same principle applies to lettings. Tenant referencing is carried out in-house, with senior people involved in the final judgement, and GLP is prepared to decline an applicant rather than put the wrong tenant into a property.

Across both sales and lettings, clients have a named contact, benefit from a team whose average tenure exceeds five years and deal with people who are expected to take responsibility rather than wait to be chased.

In this episode of the Leading Estate Agents of the World Podcast, Megan Cutforth discusses her route into the property industry and the experience she now brings to Greater London Properties as Lettings Director.

Megan explains that she entered estate agency unexpectedly before discovering that the combination of customer service, negotiation and problem-solving suited her naturally.

After working for other agencies, she joined Greater London Properties and immediately recognised a different approach. Rather than forcing clients into a fixed service, the team listened and adapted around what each landlord, tenant or portfolio owner needed.

The conversation explores London’s varied rental market, from period homes and listed buildings to converted apartments and the modern developments surrounding King’s Cross.

Megan also discusses the wide range of people searching for homes across London, including professionals relocating for work, international tenants, families and students.

She explains how the knowledge developed through managing larger portfolios can also benefit private landlords with a single property, with the same understanding of legislation, tenant expectations, local rental demand and property management applied at every level.

The episode introduces Megan, the values behind Greater London Properties and the specialist knowledge required to support landlords and tenants across the Central London rental market.
