WelcHome International

WelcHome International works from London with clients looking for property in the United Kingdom and several European markets. The firm describes itself as an Italian real estate agency advising buyers interested in the UK, Italy, France, and Spain. Its service guides a search and purchase, from defining requirements through negotiation and closing, with insight into local markets.

A buying assignment can begin with a consultation to sort out budget, areas, and priorities. The agency then searches for properties and arranges viewings, including off-market opportunities when available. During negotiations, its team represents the buyer’s interests and coordinates with outside professionals such as solicitors, mortgage advisers, or surveyors through completion.

The firm also offers rental searches and services for property owners, including marketing homes, managing rentals, and helping Italians living abroad sell property in Italy. Its services also describe coordinating renovations and interior design. The exact scope depends on the assignment and country, so an initial conversation helps define which tasks the agency handles and which remain with other professionals.

WelcHome publishes a fee structure for its services. For a purchase, it lists a success fee of 2% plus VAT on the purchase price, or 12% plus VAT on the negotiated savings against the documented asking price, whichever is higher. It also charges a nonrefundable initial registration fee, deducted from the success fee; the website does not publicly state the amount.

For a rental search, the published success fee is one month’s rent plus VAT, in addition to a nonrefundable registration fee whose amount is also not listed. The company says it does not receive referral fees from its partners. These terms should be reviewed in writing for the specific market and service, along with taxes, the scope of representation, and third-party costs.

The contact office is on Great Portland Street in central London. The website offers consultations and meetings but does not publish general walk-in hours, so visitors should arrange an appointment with the team. The address identifies its London base, while its property search covers homes in other countries. The company provides an email and phone number for initial inquiries.

The value of a cross-border buying agent depends on a clear process: who searches, who negotiates, which professionals are involved, and how fees are calculated. WelcHome International brings these services into one advisory relationship for clients navigating different markets and real estate systems. Before signing, clients can ask for the tasks, countries, fees, and included expenses for their case to be set out in writing.
