In this article, we explore some of the best suppliers for residents and potential residents of the Belgravia area of London’s West End.

Estate agents serving Belgravia

Before you even start planning a move, the first step is finding the perfect home. There are a number of good estate agents who have offices in and around Belgravia. It’s a good choice to use a local agent, as they have a better understanding of the area and may have advance knowledge of potential properties before they come to market.
Sotheby’s International Realty understands the market in Belgravia and has vast experience dealing with exclusive properties in London. Knight Frank has a dedicated office to cover Belgravia and Westminster, on hand to help you source the most desirable properties in SW1. Similarly, John D Wood & Co, based in Elizabeth Street in Belgravia, also has a good understanding of the residential area.

House and furniture cleaning

Before you move into your new property, you may wish to have a deep clean before moving your possessions in. Or you may be looking for an ongoing cleaning service for your new property. There are a number of trusted and vetted cleaning services in and around Belgravia, used by the current residents.
First Maid Premium Cleaning Services is based in SW1, offering a range of high-quality cleaning services across London.

If your furniture needs a clean after the move, it’s best to use a cleaning service that specialises in this area.

Before moving into your new home, you may wish to engage the services of an interior design studio to help give your residence the look you want. There are a number of quality interior designers based in London who serve the Belgravia area.

Upon moving into your new home, you may wish to update or install a security system. It’s also wise to change the locks and get a fresh set of keys cut.
