Hannah Aykroyd

Hannah Aykroyd is the founder and Managing Director of Aykroyd & Co and has nearly 20 years’ experience in the London property market. She is recognised as a leading buying agent in Prime Central London and is ranked again in Band 1 by Chambers and consistently recognised as Top Flight in the Spear’s Property Index.

Hannah’s practice focuses on advising HNW and UHNW clients on the acquisition of exceptional residential property in Prime Central London. She is particularly known for sourcing properties that are not publicly marketed. Her strength lies in combining an extensive network with highly developed judgement about people, property and timing. Hannah is frequently instructed where the brief is complex, highly confidential or difficult to fulfil through the open market. Her clients often require not simply a search agent, but a trusted adviser capable of understanding the wider personal, financial and strategic considerations behind a purchase.

Hannah has deep experience advising international clients seeking a London base, as well as clients seeking large family houses. Over the past few years, Hannah has acted on behalf of several high-profile divorcees where the client’s requirements were specific, often focused on privacy and security, where discretion was critical throughout to a successful outcome.

The firm’s recent review highlighted the breadth of Hannah’s work: the fastest acquisition was completed within one month from being retained to exchange, while another successful search involved showing only two properties before the right acquisition was identified. There has been a healthy split between domestic and international buyers this year, with a significant proportion of clients from the US.

Hannah is also a regular commentator on the Prime Central London market.

Her approach is notably direct and client focused. She is prepared to advise clients against a purchase where the property, price or circumstances do not stand up to scrutiny. This combination of access, independence and candour is central to her reputation.

Sources describe Hannah as an exceptional agent and leader, with a strong reputation for tenacity, judgement and putting clients’ interests first. Her current recognition and market profile support her position as one of the leading independent buying agents in Prime Central London.
