Netflix announced a new reality property show, Buying London, which will premiere in May and is the UK’s answer to America’s Buting Beverly Hills or Selling Sunset. The show will present British luxury and high-stakes drama with a distinctly London flavor, as it follows a crew of real estate agents selling affluent apartments in England. This UK version will focus on the private lives of the agents as much as it does on the property.
The recently concluded Buying Beverly Hills focused on Mauricio Unmasky’s and Kyle Richard’s split. While the series did focus on luxury real estate in Los Angeles, Mauricio’s marriage took center stage due to his wife being a star on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Buying London will likely emulate the tone of Selling Sunset more than Buying Beverly Hills.
Buying London will focus on London’s real estate agent, Daniel Daggers. With a lot of properties under his belt and a minor scandal, Daniel will surely keep the viewers excited while watching the show. The London-based spin-off series will follow Daniel, AKA Mr. Super Prime, and his team as they navigate the London market. It will show viewers the jaw-dropping property prices in the city.
Daniel is the founder of DDRE Global and focuses on luxurious properties, most of which are based in London. However, the company deals with international properties; therefore, there might be cast trips worldwide. Looking at DDRE Global’s Instagram account, the account shows some of the opulent houses they sell, giving the viewers a glimpse of what to expect on the series.
Buying London season 1 will debut in May 2024. However, Netflix has yet to confirm other details, including cast members and the exact premiere date. Nonetheless, Buying London will deep dive into the triumphs, challenges, and ambitions of a London real estate team. The show will introduce the audience to London’s real estate agents as they try to mark their territories in the cutthroat business, while also balancing work with their personal lives.
Netflix hasn’t officially announced the full cast yet, but besides featuring Daniel, Buying London might also have DDRE’s advisor, Rosi Walden. Rosi has extensive knowledge of luxury real estate and plays a critical role in DDRE, with additional experience in reality TV after appearing in Made in Chelsea. Although the trailer features Daniel alone, other agents from his company could appear alongside him when Buying London premieres.
Daniel, who shares more about his property dealings on Instagram, will appear as the UK’s answer to the renowned property brokers, the Oppenheim twins. Selling Sunset gained a huge following due to the show’s cast of prestigious estate agents looking for wealthy buyers through Oppenheim Group, a popular Beverly Hills brokerage company. Consequently, Buying London is bound to bring out breakout stars; the audience should expect monologues and incredible drone shots from London’s exclusive neighborhoods.
On March 21, Netflix released the Buying London trailer with the caption, “Follow luxury estate agent Daniel Daggers and his team as they navigate London’s Super Prime Property market.” Daniel introduced himself, adding that he has sold over £5 billion in properties. He added that the real estate business has long been dominated by companies stuck in their old ways, and his small independent business, DDRE, was trying to revolutionize the industry (via Netflix).
Buying London promises to reveal the behind-the-scenes hustle Daniel and his team go through, looking at the real estate market from a fresh and bold approach. There is so much anticipation among luxury real estate show fans, with the show bound to present breathtaking properties, a blend of conviction, humor, and drama. With its premiere right around the corner, Buying London will break the mold and show real estate viewers some lavish living spaces in London.
