Compare Estate Agents in London

The service delivered was amazing. Our agent Romario went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with everything. Would definitely recommend.

I turned up to view a property for sale and the estate agent from Outlook didn’t show up. Instead I had a grumpy tenant telling me she didn’t know anything about it and I could not have a look around as Outlook we’re supposed to notify her. I had spoken to Outlook on the phone a few times before the viewing so as far as I was made aware everything was fine, but instead I travelled across London for nothing.

I was looking for a property to rent specifically in Walthamstow and I heard that Stow Brothers were significantly better than other agencies. I can confirm that their reputation is definitely deserved! They assisted me throughout the tenancy (especially my tenancy manager Chris), going beyond their responsibilities when the landlord wasn't cooperative. When I left for a bigger property, the moving out process was very quick, smooth and really client-focus. I was lucky to have Stow Brothers assisting me through it.

Really, really, really bad experience. They represent everything that is wrong with the house buying process in this country, and show exactly why estate agents have a bad rep. Initially they appear straightforward, friendly, professional, but the process at the end was a disaster, primarily so because they didn't do their jobs and were only interested in retaining commission and holding house prices up. They failed explain to us properly the lease situation when the offer was made calling explaining an leasehold with an absentee freeholder as good as a freehold. They then they failed to tell us when our exchange date had to happen in order to retain the chain. This "by chance" happened to be the same day as the Brexit referendum. We wanted to wait to see the result to make sure we were comfortable in case we left and everything that from the prime minister to the head of the world bank predicted would impact house prices was true. They chased us all day of the election letting us know for the first time, that if we didnt sign that day, then we would lose the house we so much wanted. Their agent used pressure tactics, calling, texting, emailing, telling us we had to sign and it was urgent and that if we didnt the deal was off. This was the first time we heard this. They knew clearly a negative result would be against our interests and in the interest of their commission and their vendor. For the vendor - I feel bad as if the situation had been explained and managed by the estate agent then we would have probably resolved it earlier and got our head around the result ahead of time. If stow brothers were responsible they would have this conversation two weeks before the referendum not on the day of the vote! As it happens they didn't even speak to us. As soon as we called at 9am on friday (the day of the result) the estate ended the process and said the house was back on the market. They said the "chain had collapsed" which was news to us. Three weeks later house prices in the area are down by c. 5% - had we paid we would have been immediately in negative equity. The vendor was given our email and sent multiple emails telling us how horrible people were and how we should "grow a pair". I lost £4,000 and a lot of time understanding the complicated lease situation that I referred to above, that according my solicitor and another expert I paid to consult was much more complicated than that. Now Stow brothers have removed me from their database as I am not a secure buyer ! The house I was buying was bought in 2014 for 380K I had an offer of 505K accepted on it. I was making the couple selling c. 100K better off. What is wrong with this country when to get on the ladder I have to half a million to buy a flat in Walthamstow and the people selling it feel like they have right to my hard earned money. Stow brothers is everything that is wrong with the estate agent system; they inflate markets, block people from buying when they choose, they put a nice friendly face on it but underneath its the buyers being screwed and them manipulating system as they choose. Do not use this company, or if you do insist they provide you with a single point of contact, they can not be trusted.

THE estate agents to use in Queens Park and Kensal Rise - we used Cameron Stiff for our sale (and they acted on our purchase) this year. The friendly, knowledgeable and very hard working team did a brilliant job in a very difficult market, getting lots of viewers through the doors, benchmarking the market and realistic sale prices and putting deals together for us. Jerome, Stephen and Hussein did an excellent job for us on our eventual sale and long delayed purchase and were proactive and ensured all stayed on track. We can't thank the team enough. If you want hard working, tenacious, experienced and pleasant estate agents to work with (which lets face it, we could all do with in today's market), these are the guys to use.

Absolutely appalling service from Camerons Stiff. Incompetent to say the least!

Amir and his team have been wonderful. They sold us the flat and have let it twice, apparently effortlessly, over a 5 year period. Nothing seems to be too much trouble, they're great!

100% positive

Very professional and honest advice from Mathew. Found him well experienced and very supportive, would recommend Aston Fox.

Their fee for renting are excruciating! High, unreasonable, cannot wait until the new legislation make it illegal. How clever of you to write your own, fake,5 star reviews! People are not as dimwitted as you would want them to be!

Been in property buying and selling for the last 6 years and have always used Knights for all my property transactions, these guys are highly skilled and are very knowledgeable in their market, smooth and stress free service, please give these guys a try as you will be pleasantly surprised.

Excellent agent, Lots of Local Knowledge, Would be more than happy to recommend others A+
