Greater London Properties (GLP)

Estate Agents · Est. 2003
📍

49 Broadwick Street, Soho London W1F 9QR

Greater London Properties is an established and trusted independent estate agency operating at the heart of Central London from its Soho and Bloomsbury offices.

Founded in 2003 and still led by Rob and Kate Hill today, GLP has built its reputation around honest advice, detailed local knowledge and a belief that London property needs to be understood street by street and building by building.

The business combines more than two decades of local experience with a progressive approach to property marketing, while remaining independently owned and personally accountable to the clients it represents.

The Founding Story

““We wanted to create an estate agency that understood London street by street and gave people a genuinely positive experience.””

ROB HIILL  - FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR

Rob Hill founded Greater London Properties in 2003 after recognising a need for an agency with genuinely detailed knowledge of Soho and the surrounding Central London market.

In 2008, GLP moved to its flagship Broadwick Street office, becoming the only property shop window in Soho. Kate Hill joined in 2012 and developed the agency’s brand and marketing operation, including the in-house media team responsible for the photography and video created for every GLP instruction.

More than two decades later, GLP remains independent and led by the same people. The business has grown, opened a second Central London office in Bloomsbury and developed specialist teams across sales, lettings and property management, while detailed local knowledge remains central to the way it works.

The Owners & The Agency

Greater London Properties is led by Rob and Kate Hill alongside an established team covering residential sales, lettings and property management.What makes Greater London Properties particularly distinctive is the combination of independence, specialist expertise and genuine local depth.

Independence has remained an important part of GLP’s identity. Without a national head office or corporate sales targets shaping its advice, the team can make recommendations around what it genuinely believes is right for the client and their property.

That authenticity is something GLP believes its reputation has been built upon.

The agency is prepared to have difficult conversations early. Valuations are evidence-led, pricing advice is realistic and market feedback is communicated clearly rather than avoiding uncomfortable discussions simply to retain an instruction.

GLP also invests significantly in presenting its clients’ homes.

Every instruction receives photography, video and presenter-led property marketing created by GLP’s own in-house media team. The content is then used across the agency website, portals and social channels, ensuring property presentation is treated as a core part of the service rather than an optional extra.

Clients also benefit from a settled team. Average tenure at GLP is more than five years, each client has a named contact and senior members of the business remain actively involved.

Where We Work

Areas We Cover

GLP’s Prime Central London territory covers some of the capital’s most distinctive residential markets. The team’s approach is based on understanding the differences between neighbourhoods, individual streets and buildings rather than treating Central London as one uniform property market.

Behind the Scenes with Rob Hill of Greater London Properties

In this episode of the Leading Estate Agents of the World Podcast, Rob Hill reflects on the creation of Greater London Properties and more than two decades working within the Central London property market.

Rob explains why he sees London as a collection of individual villages rather than one single market. Soho, Covent Garden, Fitzrovia, Mayfair and St James’s may sit close together, but each has its own atmosphere, buildings, ownership structures and established community.

The conversation explores why sellers and buyers need an estate agent who understands property at street and building level.

Rob also discusses the importance of preparing a property properly before it reaches the market, particularly within the leasehold sector, where service charges, alteration documents, major works and building information can all affect affordability, buyer confidence and the progress of a sale.

The episode provides an introduction to Rob, the thinking behind Greater London Properties and the detailed local knowledge required to navigate Prime Central London successfully.

Harry Williams

I had an incredible experience working with Ben at Greater London Properties! From our very first phone call, I knew I was in great hands and was completely sold on securing an apartment through him and GLP. Ben is completely unique compared to other estate agents I’ve dealt with—he is incredibly professional, passionate, and attentive. He represented GLP exceptionally well and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I can’t stop recommending him to everyone I know. He definitely deserves a promotion or serious recognition for his work. Thanks again, Ben

Fay Frame

My experience with GLP was as smooth as it could have been. A huge thank you to Dan Edwards, who helped me throughout the entire process and made everything incredibly straightforward. He took the time to show me all the apartments, offer great recommendations, and coordinate viewings for the specific addresses I was interested in. Dan was incredibly helpful, responsive, and organised from start to finish. It was also great working with someone who had previously lived in New Zealand, a small connection that made the whole experience feel even more personal and enjoyable (and gave us plenty to chat about along the way haha). I really appreciated Dan’s knowledge, effort, and willingness to go above and beyond to help me find the right place. Could not recommend more.

Mareena is hands down the best agent I've ever worked with! She was incredibly helpful, responsive, and supportive throughout the whole process, especially during the rental rules changes and as an international renter. Thanks to her, I secured my dream flat and even managed to move in early. I couldn't recommend her more highly!
