Buying London

This show is trying too damn hard to copy the drama of Selling Sunset, but it just comes across as completely unnatural and ridiculous. Americans really are better at acting convincingly like total idiots, although Selling Sunset takes things too far sometimes as well. Obviously in the British version they found it very hard to find stuff to disagree on because the clearly fake squabbles are enormously childish and petty. Still I like to watch it for the amazing properties and beautiful clothes and Buying London doesn't disappoint in that respect. That's why I think 4 stars is more than reasonable.

You can clearly tell the cast were asked to create fake drama to make it compete with Selling Sunset. No one in real life would get upset over these "issues" and act like this professionally here. It got so bad that I found myself fast forwarding to the viewings, which unfortunately were not even that great! The caliber of property in comparison to the channel 4 shows, such as most expensive houses, were simply just not there, extremely dated interiors and nothing "wow" about them.

Some of the "viewings" were also clearly staged properties not on the market, for example the "open house" apartment... it was empty, with the cast positioned in the background in one scene but no one else! Open houses are not even a concept here in the uk... honestly this show makes a mockery of UK agents. This should be burned from anyone's memory.

The women are gorgeous and placed in catty scenarios to dramatize London real estate. I thought I'd watch the variety of high-end real estate and their prices. The music added to each scene as in between the scenes was extremely annoying. The constant quick blinking and noise added of the camera to get closer to the next scene was also extremely irritating. Don't waste your time.

Although the real estate staff had to concede to the show's requirement to add drama and the degradation of their own character. It's too bad they had to add the unnecessary music and the camera clicking. I think the show would have been tolerable to just watch a show about London's high-end real estate.

Daniel Daggers does not need to do a reality show. He is already successful and his reputation is undeniable. Was this a good business decision? Not sure it's good publicity either. It's too much Hollywood style. Nothing like the Parisian Agency family which seems more real to me. The listings are gorgeous though and it makes you dream about living in London and around. That's probably the only thing worth watching. The drama on the other hand is totally unnecessary. It often looks very fake how these agents deal with each other. They are probably looking for an acting job in a soap opera next.

The London-based real estate agency's TV service, showcasing a robust team of seven professionals and their seasoned boss who entered the business at the age of 17, brings a unique glimpse into the high-stakes world of luxury properties. With a focus on multi-million-pound listings, the series promises viewers an inside look at some of the most opulent homes on the market.

One of the show's strengths is its high production quality. The properties featured are nothing short of stunning, offering potential clients and property enthusiasts a feast for the eyes. Each episode is a well-curated parade of architectural beauty and design, underscored by the team's evident expertise and flair for presentation.

The collaboration with other agencies adds a layer of authenticity and depth, showcasing the interconnected nature of the real estate market in London. However, the series does not shy away from the inevitable drama and politics that come with any corporate environment. This element, while entertaining, often overshadows the core business of real estate transactions.

Despite its many positives, the series has a notable flaw: it lacks substantive coverage of actual deals. While viewers get to see the glamour and the grind, there is little insight into the mechanics of how properties are sold in the UK market. The absence of deal closures might leave industry insiders and serious buyers wanting more practical information.

In summary, the TV service by this London-based real estate agency is a visually captivating and dramatic portrayal of the luxury property market. However, it leans more towards entertainment than educational content about real estate transactions. For those looking to see the behind-the-scenes reality of high-end property sales, the show might fall short of expectations.
