Spear’s Review

‘Our reputation is purely driven through our clients, and we are proud of what we have achieved from very humble beginnings,’ says Dominic Wertheimer, founder and managing director of Lornham. Having been in the industry for almost 20 years, Wertheimer was one of the first agents to identify a market need for a property management and private office service alongside his buying agency.

With clients based across the world – particularly in India, Dubai and Hong Kong – Wertheimer has established a reputation as one of the city’s leading property advisers. He founded his firm in 2012 and since then has transacted on and managed properties in some of London’s most prestigious postcodes. Whether he’s advising on details regarding home security or securing a rental property for an UHNW client, Wertheimer is known for his discretion, as well as his tenacity and ability to create solutions for clients, however tricky they may appear. 

‘Clients trust me as their go-to person for everything in London, and therefore it is always a long term-relationship,’ he says. For HNWs, many of whom might be based overseas for much of the year, Wertheimer – and the services he provides – is invaluable. 

Adviser Profile

Dominic Wertheimer founded Lornham Private Office in 2012 to offer truly independent, buyer-focused representation in London’s most prestigious postcodes. Over the past decade, he has successfully advised clients on discreet transactions across Mayfair, Knightsbridge, Kensington, Chelsea and Belgravia, always with a firm emphasis on quality, access and confidentiality.

His client base spans the globe – with notable concentrations in Singapore, Hong Kong, New York, Geneva, Dubai and Mumbai – and often includes clients who reside outside the UK for most of the year. Many of Dominic’s clients return repeatedly, not only for acquisition services but for trusted advice at every stage of the property lifecycle. He is frequently recommended by private bankers, lawyers and international property specialists, and is often brought in long before a deal is on the table – acting as a strategic sounding board and advocate throughout.

Wertheimer’s approach is meticulous, commercially attuned and deeply personalised. He specialises in off-market acquisitions that require sensitivity, speed and absolute discretion. Recent highlights include a grand Mayfair townhouse, an ambassadorial Belgravia residence, and a Hyde Park penthouse, all secured on behalf of international clients through carefully structured, behind-the-scenes negotiations.

While Lornham also offers post-acquisition support through its concierge and property management team, the firm’s primary focus is always acquisition strategy and delivery – ensuring that every transaction is executed seamlessly and with full client confidence.

‘Our role is not just to find a house,’ says Wertheimer. ‘It’s to ensure that the process – and the outcome – feels effortless and exacting, no matter how complex the brief.’
