Independent Property Consultant
Property isn't straightforward.
I am.
Most property decisions go through an estate agent or a mortgage broker. That works, most of the time. But some situations are more complicated than that. The stakes are higher, things have already gone wrong, or you simply cannot afford to get it wrong. That's when you need someone else.
I'm an independent property consultant. I work across England and Wales, I charge you directly, and my only job is the right outcome for you.
Your home isn't selling. There's a reason.
It's rarely just the price. Usually it's a combination of things, some visible, some not, all fixable if you know what you're looking at. I'll tell you what they are and what to do about them.
Nearly half of all homes listed in the UK will not sell. In London, it's only 1 in 3 homes. If yours is sitting there, something needs to change.
Everyone in the room is working for someone else.
The estate agent represents the seller. The mortgage broker is paid by the lender. Your solicitor handles the legal work. Nobody in that transaction is focused on whether it's the right property at the right price for you, unless you put someone there yourself.
When the numbers are big enough that a mistake isn't an option, you want someone genuinely in your corner.
You own equity. You deserve independent advice about it.
A lender will tell you what they'll offer based on their own figures. A broker will find you the best product available. Neither of them will tell you whether the strategy itself is right, whether the timing makes sense, or what your property is actually worth before you commit to anything.
That's what I do.
Whatever the situation, the first step is clarity.
Some clients come to me before anything has gone wrong. They want to know what they're dealing with before they make a move, and they want someone independent helping them think it through.
Most come to me when something has already gone wrong, or when they can see it's about to. A sale that's stalled. A purchase that doesn't quite add up. A refinancing decision they're not sure about.
Either way, my process is the same. I find out what's actually happening, I tell you the truth about it, and I help you work out what to do next.
If an estate agent or a mortgage broker can handle your situation without risk to you, you don't need me. If the situation is more complicated than that, or the stakes are high enough that getting it wrong isn't acceptable, that's exactly what I'm here for.

Independent. Transparent. No surprises.
I work for you directly. You pay me, no one else does. I have no commission arrangements with any agent, lender, solicitor, or developer.
Before any work begins, you'll know exactly what it costs. No hidden fees, nothing added afterwards. And if I don't think I can help, I'll tell you that in the first conversation.

Meet Daniel Clarke
I spent years as an IT director before moving into property as an investor, then as an estate agent, then as a buying agent. I've been on every side of these transactions. That's what lets me see what others miss.
I set up independently because the standard model doesn't always serve the client. It serves the industry. When the situation needs someone who is working for you alone, that's what I do.
If something doesn't feel right, it probably isn't.
Your home has been on the market for months. The agent keeps suggesting a price cut. Something doesn't add up.
-
You're a few days from exchanging and you want one final independent check before you commit.
-
You've been given three different valuations and have no idea which number to trust.
-
You've had a survey come back with issues and you don't know how seriously to take them.
-
A chain has collapsed or something has gone wrong mid-transaction and you need someone to help you work out what to do.
-
You're about to make a significant financial decision involving your property and you want to go in knowing your numbers.
-
You've already been through the standard routes and they haven't worked.
If any of that sounds familiar, get in touch. The first conversation costs nothing.
