Buckingham Properties has grown from a small office in West Hampstead in 1989 to a trusted, family-run business based in St. John’s Wood. Now led by Nick and Gemma, the company proudly oversees properties across London, specialising in property management, lettings, sales, and deal sourcing. Known for its personal service and strong local knowledge, Buckingham Properties continues to thrive and expand while maintaining its family values.
—————————————————————————
Established in 1989, by Jonathan Braff, a budding Entrepreneur, Buckingham Properties opened its first office in West Hampstead, North West London. The Company started managing half a dozen properties on behalf of landlords. In 1991 Jonathan moved the office to St. John’s Wood, North West London and carried on acquiring more properties.
Kathy Brown started working in Buckingham Properties in the winter of 2000 doing just the administration for the company. She then went on to do the company’s bookkeeping and slowly became a full-time member of staff.
In 2006 Kathy took over the running of all day-to-day duties as Jonathan was taken seriously ill and in 2013 Kathy took over Buckingham Properties and the office in Violet Hill.
In 2018 Kathy relocated the office from Violet Hill to Acacia Road, to be right in the heart of St. John’s Wood.
In 2020 Kathy’s daughter-in-law, Gemma, joined the business to help with the day-to-day running and in 2022, Kathy’s son, Nick, took over the family business as Kathy retired.
The company has continued to flourish and now boasts a portfolio in excess of 80 properties, both managed and rented, making this family-run company grow year-on-year.
Still based in St. John’s Wood, Buckingham Properties now covers several areas in London, including St. John’s Wood, Maida Vale, Hampstead, Golders Green, Hendon, Cricklewood, Kilburn, Willesden, Camden, Bayswater, Brondesbury, to name but a few.
Although the company mainly focuses on Property Management and Lettings, Nick has expanded into helping clients with Deal Sourcing and Property Sales, having sold numerous properties over the years.
The Total Management Service that Buckingham Properties offers its clients includes letting your property, taking up full references, checking the tenant in and making sure the maintenance is covered throughout the term of the rental. Should you want additional services added such as inventory checks, this can be discussed with your property account manager.
