Boutique agency AZ Real Estate has underlined its unique dual buying and estate agency capabilities with two significant prime deals despite the challenging market.
Acting as buying agents for a private client, the team sourced and exchanged contracts on a prime development plot on the exclusive St George’s Hill estate in Weybridge (significantly below the asking price of £9.5m) – an off‑market opportunity sourced and negotiated with precision, reinforcing the firm’s reputation for uncovering and delivering exceptional value.
St George’s Hill is the highly sought-after 964-acre private estate created in 1911, today representing one of the most revered addresses outside of London.
Simultaneously, the firm demonstrated its estate agency-side expertise with the successful completion of the sale of a Grade II listed townhouse in Chelsea with a unique literary connection with James Bond.
The deal, agreed with a domestic buyer already in London for £5.8mn, was significantly delayed by the cyber attack on Kensington and Chelsea Council in November 2025. The attack halted many operations, including conveyancing searches, which have only recently started to be processed again.
Alisa Zotimova, founder and CEO of AZ Real Estate:
“This opportunity on St George’s Hill represents a chance to create a truly exceptional dream home within one of Surrey’s most sought-after and established enclaves. Set within a leafy, private environment, it combines the appeal of countryside tranquillity with proximity to London, making it an increasingly rare proposition in today’s market.
“Both of these transactions were complex, requiring persistence, clarity and close cooperation between all parties to successfully navigate to a positive outcome. They reflect a market where well-positioned, high-quality opportunities continue to attract committed buyers, even against a backdrop of political uncertainty and wider economic headwinds.”
“Deals are still being done, provided there is realism, which can’t be overstated enough, expertise and alignment on all sides.”
