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.

A bunch of wannabe celebrities who are thrown into the world of f-list showbiz.

There is no arguing that the houses are absolutely stunning & The owner of the company Daniel is a success, but there is absolutely no reason for him to start a show like this.

If I was a prospective high net worth customer I'd now avoid the company like a plague.

First of all; who else has seen Rasa on Selling Super Houses? She was absolutely hopeless on that and there is no mention that she got her break on that programme first.

The cast are no where near as good looking as the Selling Sunset crowd. Netflix have had a shocker with this one and I hope it doesn't go on for another season.

I turned off after the second episode and want to block it from my memory.

What a waste of time.

Haven't seen in a while such a group of look alike fake narcissists. Women look all the same. Hair, makeup, botox blah blah blah. Dialogues are not natural at all, not easy going, hard to watch. Money money money. Nothing else counts in life. I chose to watch it because I would be really interested to see actual real estate status in London, a city with crazy prices and especially after the crisis it would be extremely interesting to see how people buy in London but again you see a show showing only super upper high class rich people far away from actual reality and the world. Bummer. I dont know if I can keep watching this.

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.

I was hoping for a TV-series similar to Parisian Agency - and to see some beautiful properties in London and get a glimpse of the realtors in England in personal way.

Starting off, the agency claims to work differently and offer something new to the market, yet all you see is young blondes in heels, fake smiles and egos so large they might implode. This is narcissistic tv, nothing else. The music is inspired by other real estate series on Netflix, without the coolness. Everything feels fake.

I couldn't watch this more than 10 minutes because I knew this would be a big waste of time. This tv-show deserves to be forgotten right away.

I was looking for something to laugh at while having breakfast with my wife and stumbled upon this show. I'm not a big fan of "real estate" shows, but after watching the trailer, I knew this one wouldn't be about selling properties but about cringy scandals, flirting, and dumb conversations. And it didn't disappoint! You'll get all that and more. If you have a decent sense of humor, you'll have a really good time with Buying London. It's fake as can be, and the funniest thing is that they didn't sell any property! In 7 episodes, it was only mentioned once that Reme sold something, without any details.

So if you love Dubai Bling or Love Island, just grab your cup of morning coffee and dive in!

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.

Really disappointing, The authors certainly had the intention to make a copy of the French series "L'Agence", mainly based in Paris. They have achieved a bad result, as too much time is spent on beautiful half-naked girls talking about their relationship, flirting with married men...booooring! Show better houses in London, there are many, and maybe the public could reconsider. Otherwise this is going to be a flop, and a well deserved one. Strange that Netflix has considered such a bad production. I would expect better from them. Rarely we have started watching series and left them after one episode only.

I just wonder why Netflix wasted their money making this claptrap. Have you noticed nothing actually gets sold on this programme. None of them could actually sell a bag of chips. They talk about all these contacts they have all over the world but absolutely nothing gets closed. The stars of the show are the homes none of which are up for sale at all just contracted by Netflix to be in the program to make it interesting.

Can't really understand why John Caudwell was in the show I'm really quite sure he doesn't need the money.

In conclusion I don't think you should waste your time like I did nothing happens. Properties are real the people are plastic.

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.

Awful. Waste of time. You don't see anyone actually buying a home in London or anywhere else. You do see a lot of pettiness, exaggerated drama, ridiculous behavior and unprofessional interactions. It's like Daniel Daggers built a great reputation in real estate, but that he is comfortable having people watch how immature and unprofessional his agents are. How would anyone who has the money to buy these properties choose to use that agency to do business with. You do see some beautiful properties...but no sales are shown. You can watch this vapid crew of whiners who act like 13 year olds contrive, manipulate and spend the entire series bad mouthing each other then making up then starting it all over again.

I don't know if Buying London wants to compete with the Netflix French series 'L'Agence'. If so, it's a complete failure. It's totally superficial and pretentious. Our interest is to see luxury residences, and we are witnessing a kind of 'Bold & Beautiful' that features ultra diva real estate agents. Even the photography of the few residences presented, never serves the viewer. The hyper-fast camera special effects do nothing to benefit the luxury they want to show us. And at the end of a segment, we always come back to the moods of the famous divas, women and men. If there is a 2nd season, the formula must be completely revised. It's not worth it.

We were naive, I know, but hubby and I were genuinely interested in seeing some beautiful English properties. Having never watched US shows about real estate, I didn't realize that we have these fake kinds of shows here in the US. We watched half of episode one before deciding it was a dud. It was the dinner scene where everyone was perfectly styled and coifed and clearly a "character" in a scene.

If you're looking for a show that shows creative decor and design, you'd do better to search YouTube for million dollar properties. You'll get a real tour by someone who won't flip their hair and create fake drama. I just want to see attractive and creative use of space and landscaping. No drama necessary.

Ok, these shows are a guilty pleasure. Selling sunset, buying beverly hills, million dollar listing,...the family in paris, they are cool too. I watch it because I like seeing the homes, but the drama .... A bit much. Don't expect high-level sales or lessons, because it's not like that. It seems they can't do much - and expensive clothes don't guarantee good taste. But this show really takes the cake. It's a bunch of annoying and empty people arguing about listings, drama,... but what really makes it unwatchable is the soundtrack. It is horrendous. Who comes up with those ideas? And who approves that? Jeez. It makes a cringe show even more cringe.

This is a telenovela, with people either acting very poorly or really having serious childhood issue, unable to sell anything because Life.

I cannot believe this kind of production received a budget to be produced and I think those involved are ashamed of being part of the team.

This would have been a better series if no one was talking and they just presented in more details the beautiful houses and apartments. It is a peaty that they wasted their time recording a big nothing!

I think that the owner of the agency regrets deeply being part of this show and accepted to get involved into this.

Do not waste your time with it!

It's just a fake dramatised reality TV show about petty, shallow and childish squabbles amongst highly unlikeable, fake and pretentious "Estate Agents", who don't actually sell anything.

Apparently, I need to write an additional 400 characters to post this, but nobody really reads beyond the first two headline sentences do they? If you're reading this, then apparently some people do? Congratulations to you for demonstrating such enthusiasm and perseverance in your quest to understand how truly terrible this show is. It's bad. Really bad. Really, really, really bad. So very excruciatingly awful. Character limit met.

Came here in a Netflix recommendation after watching the Parisian agency - and instead of the charm and perks into a world of luxury found this cheap and vulgar show..! Who would want to buy from this group that's so cheap and trashy! Not worth wasting even a second to watch!

The main agent was featured on the Parisian show and that should have been a warning sign- he came across as cheap and full of himself in that show and that personality is just magnified here. The agents who work for him seem to be molded in the same manner and are really horrendous. Their model definitely is more crass than class.
