Why Swift?
Swift is a specialist, independent agency that lets and manages the southwest London properties of owners who live far away. Clients in 13 countries across five continents have trusted us to look after their homes — and 95% of them chose us based on recommendations.
We know what can go wrong. We know how stressful, time-consuming and expensive it can be to deal with problems from a distance. We give you peace of mind.
Clients Sam and Rachael on how Swift let and looked after their home while they lived abroad for work
Trusted
Founded in 2010 by Daniel Lees, a landlord himself, we’ve resolved thousands of callouts — once even needing to rescue a pet python after a leak.
Exceptional service
Your very own property manager takes care of everything. Yes, everything — freeing you up to focus on what matters most.
Fair fees
Swift has a simple, fair fee structure. Many agents charge upfront, so lack the incentive to manage proactively. But we take our fees monthly — only after your tenant has paid their rent.
Safe
We’re swift (pun fully intended) to resolve issues whilst updating you at every stage. We’re local, so we vet all repair requests before sending a tradesman. In short, we give you complete peace of mind.
Lean
We invest in a virtual office of high-calibre people, not costly high-street shopfronts or branded cars. That means we do more without charging more.
Personal
We understand that you’ve bought your London property as a home, not just an investment. Like many of our clients, you’ve lived in it — and you love it. We look after it for you as if it were our own.
We come highly recommended
