Looking for Arabic-/Russian speaking real estate agencies in London

Options
Good evening, please has anyone come across and can recommend any Russian- and/or Arabic speaking real estate agencies in London? Want the agencies to focus on either Russian or Middle Eastern clients who buy residential property.
Thank you

    A quick google shows companies like this
    and here if you want to practice your Russian
    I imagine they only deal with multi-million pound sales and they describe their fees as being 'reassuringly expensive'.

    Be a bit cautious - you're potentially the kind of 'punter' that scammers look out for.

    I came across a seller who'd paid a wad of cash to an agency, because the agency explained how successful they were at selling  property at premium prices to Russian oligarch investors and Chinese millionaire investors.  (The agency described how they arranged flights  and hotels for the investors, so that they could come to the UK to view the properties, etc etc.)

    Having paid the cash to the agency, they didn't manage to arrange a single viewing. (I suspect the whole thing was a con, and they had no real contacts in Russia or China.)
  • Knight Frank have a dedicated Russian Desk in London, and they and Savills can probably provide Russian and Arabic services.
    A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.
  • Look for agencies around Edgware Road W2 and Mayfair W1 for Arabic speaking agents.
