MASBOD LONDON — SERVICES
Property & Household
Property is the one category reserved exclusively for Private Office Members — not as an upsell, but because it genuinely requires an ongoing relationship that a one-off client relationship can't support. MASBOD's role is sourcing, introduction, and coordination throughout; independent legal, financial, and structural advice remains the member's own responsibility for any transaction, and MASBOD will always say so clearly rather than overstate what it can do.
Sourcing & acquisition
MASBOD's property relationships extend to agents and private sellers who make properties available before they're publicly listed — genuinely off-market opportunities, not simply early access to a listing that was always going public. Sourcing is built around a clear brief: location, budget, purpose (primary residence, investment, second home), and the specific things that matter to you that a generic search wouldn't capture.
Purchase & letting negotiation
MASBOD supports negotiation directly — on price, on timeline, on the terms that matter beyond headline figures. For letting, this includes sourcing tenants or properties, negotiating terms, and coordinating the practical handover. Throughout, MASBOD works alongside your own solicitor and financial advisers rather than replacing them; a property transaction always needs independent legal and tax advice, and MASBOD helps coordinate access to advisers experienced with the specific complexity of your situation.
Renovation & interior design oversight
For members renovating or redesigning a property, MASBOD coordinates the project — architects, contractors, and interior designers — so there's a single point of accountability rather than a project split across suppliers who don't naturally talk to each other. This includes managing timelines, flagging issues before they become expensive, and being the point of contact when something needs a decision and you're not available to make it immediately.
Ongoing household maintenance
Beyond acquisition and renovation, MASBOD coordinates the ongoing running of a property — scheduled maintenance, seasonal preparation, and the kind of household management that prevents small issues from becoming large ones. For members with multiple properties, or properties they're not always present at, this is often the single most valuable part of the relationship: knowing someone is actually keeping an eye on things.
International & non-resident buyers
For members buying from overseas, MASBOD coordinates the additional steps that a cross-border purchase requires — source-of-funds verification, introductions to advisers experienced with non-resident structuring, and viewings arranged around a buyer who may not be able to visit in person before an offer is needed. This is one of MASBOD's most requested property services, and one where early coordination makes the biggest difference to how smoothly a purchase goes.
Landlords & investment property
For members who own property as an investment, MASBOD coordinates the letting side directly — tenant sourcing, reference checking coordination, and ongoing liaison so a landlord doesn't need to manage tenants or maintenance issues personally. This sits alongside the household management MASBOD already provides for owner-occupied property.
What this looks like in practice
A member relocating to London for a role wants a property secured before they arrive, without the weeks of viewings that usually requires. MASBOD sources three properties matching the brief — including one not yet publicly listed — arranges video walkthroughs, coordinates with the member's solicitor on the offer, and has the property ready to move into, including basic setup, before the member's first day in the city.

Frequently asked
Do you charge a percentage fee on property transactions?
Property services are included within Private Office membership rather than charged as a separate transaction fee. Any fees charged directly by agents, solicitors, or other third parties remain the member's own responsibility.
Can you help with property outside London?
MASBOD's strongest relationships and access are within London, where the business is based. For property elsewhere, MASBOD can still coordinate introductions to trusted contacts, though access to off-market opportunities may be more limited outside the city.
Do I still need my own solicitor for a property purchase?
Yes. MASBOD's role is sourcing, introduction, and coordination — independent legal and financial advice is always the member's own responsibility, and MASBOD will help coordinate access to solicitors and advisers experienced with the relevant complexity.
