Altitude Privé acts for the buyer. We are engaged by the client, work to a written brief the client sets, and are answerable to that client alone — from the first conversation through to the day the title is registered in their name.
The office is small by intention and national in reach, and it is built around one unusual arrangement: a licensed brokerage and legal counsel working as a single team, on one side of the table. In a market where the agent, the lawyer and the contract all belong to the developer, that arrangement is the whole of the point.
The office grew out of the aliyah work. For years, families we had accompanied through the move came back a year or two later with the same question, asked in the same slightly apologetic way: we think we’ve found something — would you look at it?
Too often, what they had found was a reasonable apartment inside a contract nobody had read to them. They had sat in a sales office where the agent was paid by the developer and the lawyer at the next desk was the developer’s lawyer. They had been shown a specification in a language they were still learning. They had signed the largest cheque of their lives with no one in the room who worked for them.
Not one of those transactions was improper. That is what made it worth doing something about. The asymmetry is simply the structure of the Israeli new-build market, and the buyer who arrives from abroad absorbs all of it.
Altitude Privé was built to be theirs.
We are engaged by the buyer and answerable to the buyer. The brief is written down at the outset and it governs everything that follows — the shortlist, the assessment, the negotiation, and the advice we give when a development turns out to be the wrong one.
It is what allows us to say the thing an agent structurally cannot: that you should walk away from this one.
Every mandate is led by a single advisor throughout, supported by in-house counsel. No escalation chain, no transfer to a junior negotiator, no handover to a transactional team once the relationship is established. The advisor who takes the brief sees it through.
On an off-plan purchase that runs three or four years, this matters more than anything else on this page. The sales office you first walked into will have changed staff twice before the building tops out.
We track new developments across Israel — the developer’s delivery history, the accompanying bank, the planning file, the plots that will rise alongside, the specification against its peers, and what the units actually transact at rather than what they are asked for.
We track them from before the sales office opens, and we keep tracking them long after it closes. The register is the office’s primary working asset, and it is the reason a search begins from knowledge rather than from a portal.
We act in the communities where Anglo families in Israel have built their lives, and we know each one as a resident does rather than as a portal does — which street the school run actually works from, which side of the neighbourhood the shul is a genuine walk from, and where the next three towers are going up.
Conversations are held in English and Hebrew. Correspondence is held with clients in London, Manchester, New York, Toronto, Melbourne and Johannesburg — and most of the work begins long before anyone lands.
From the UK, the United States, Canada, Australia and South Africa — most often introduced through our sister office after the first year, and buying their first significant home here in year two or three.
Individuals who built a career abroad and are looking for a home at home — with international advisory expectations, and limited patience for conventional Israeli estate agency.
Families holding a home in Israel and a life elsewhere, for whom the building’s service, security and lock-and-leave simplicity matter as much as the apartment itself.
Buyers acquiring off-plan for yield and delivery certainty, who need the developer diligenced and the contract argued over rather than the brochure admired.
Families securing a home in Israel for children who have not yet arrived — frequently the quietest and most carefully considered purchase we are asked to handle.
Each holds a different chapter of the same arrival. Together they cover the arc from a first visit to a registered title.
The established Anglo concierge to the aliyah process. Nefesh B’Nefesh, Misrad HaKlita and Bituach Leumi, the schools, the banks, and the first-year rental — the year in which a family works out where it actually belongs.
→ easyaliyah.comFor clients establishing residency, business and life in Israel ahead of, or without, the citizenship decision. Residency permits, company formation, banking, schools, and the quiet logistics of a second life held between two countries.
→ israelicitizenship.comThe residential office, which holds the purchase conversation when it arrives — usually in the second year or the third. Whichever door a client came through, the search begins from long familiarity rather than a first introduction.
You are hereTell us, in your own words, what you are considering. We do not ask for particulars in advance — what we need first is an understanding of intent. If we are the right office for it, we will tell you how we would proceed and what it would cost. If you would be better served elsewhere, we will say that too.
