You're in safe hands
An accidental landlord himself who has moved countries, Daniel Lees started Swift in 2010 to help overseas owners rent out their southwest London homes with complete peace of mind. We now have clients all the way from America to Zimbabwe, and Daniel has written a lettings bestseller.
Personal property manager
You only need to speak to one person, who knows you, your tenants and your property. We achieve the best possible rent, manage all your maintenance and find tenants who will look after your home.
Remarkable service
Because our office is virtual, we don’t have the expensive overheads of high-street agents. That’s why you get so much more: professionally styled property photos, 85% of viewings after hours, and 24/7 repair callouts.
Fair fees
Careful streamlining means we can offer you a full service at a fair price: everyone pays one low fixed percentage — monthly, not upfront, incentivising great service all the time. No renewal fees. No contractor mark-ups. No nasty surprises.
