James Pendleton has recently launched an international desk in expectation of strong demand from overseas buyers.

The new division is being headed by Urosh Teodorovich who has just joined the firm and will specialise in providing a highly personalised service for buyers primarily originating from Hong Kong, China, Saudi Arabia and Dubai.

Urosh, who is fluent in Mandarin, has spent more than eight years working in Hong Kong’s extremely dynamic real estate market. He previously managed the Asia-Pacific property division of the Quintessentially Group following his previous tenure as head of business development for Landscope Christie’s International Real Estate.

Teodorovich said: “London continues to be a top choice for international investors and the ongoing pandemic has not changed that. London remains a truly global city with a stable political system, world-class public facilities and universities, a highly liquid market with reasonable property purchase and holding costs, as well as sustained population growth.

“I’m extremely pleased to be at the front of the international department of James Pendleton and look forward to providing the very best service for investors along with joining a sterling team of professionals.”

As part of the new international desk, James Pendleton will offer an end-to-end service, handling every aspect of international transactions from identifying investments, to purchasing, letting, managing, and eventually selling. This will cover individual properties right through to larger developments and multiple asset purchases.

Lee James Pendleton, co-founder of agent James Pendleton, said: “It’s with great pleasure we bring on board Urosh with his wealth of knowledge and experience of overseas buying clients. The international desk is going to dovetail with our new homes division, which continues to attract a strong international audience.

“There doesn’t appear to be a lot of consensus at the moment as to which direction the UK and London markets will take. We stand in the more optimistic camp because we see the current headwinds as completely different in nature to the financial crisis, which is the last event that precipitated a significant decline in valuations.”
