Welcome to The Libertarian

We are a family-owned property company based in London Bridge. Incorporated in 1977 as DDS Ltd, the company acquired a number of commercial properties in central London, many of which we still own and manage. Since Nick Riley took ownership of the business we have increased our commercial portfolio and diversified into residential development and letting of high-end apartments in London. 

 

Why come to us?

We are 100% family owned so our sole priority is with our tenants rather than external investors. We always strive to provide the most stress-free transition into your new home or office space and take pride in being open, flexible and responsive to all of our tenants’ requirements throughout their tenancy.

We have a hands on approach where you will always have a direct line of communication with us. Rather than taking a formal and corporate line when dealing with enquiries, we recognise that this can cost our tenants valuable time and money and would always prefer to resolve any issues in the quickest way possible.
