About us
We spent a year to set up and we finally launched in October 2006. The idea was born over a supposedly quiet drink after work where the conversation revolved around the cost of selling a house and dealing with those dreaded estate agents.
A few glasses down and much animated discussion later we realised that you could avoid the expense of estate agents by taking control yourself if you were just given the right means.
Having got the sales site up and running, we got thinking about rentals and what we could do to make rentals easier for people. The answer was simple - provide photos. After all, before you trudge halfway across London to look at a place, you want to have some idea as to what it looks like!
'What you see is what you get' is our motto and this site is all about saving time and energy.
The picture to your left is of us, the faces behind privateHQ.com and you’ll be pleased to know that we're not, nor ever have been estate agents. We're just a couple of young(ish) women who decided it was time to take a stand and try to make a difference in this unbelievably expensive world of property.
